Chanel In the Business: the most-talked-about flap bag from Chanel

Red

Red

Dark beige

Dark beige

Black

Chanel in the business flap bag, but people call it simply 'ITB'

The bags are made from calfskin and the size is about the same as Maxi.
Currently this style is almost sold out in every Chanel store around the world. Some pros and cons. Pros are mostly because of its 'friendly' price for a Chanel flap bag (to illustrate: Maxi now costs USD4,000). And cons because it is simply not the Chanel classic line (yet).

I am currently on the fence to get this bag. The price is indeed tempted but, I planned to get the classic line only. Sigh.....
So, the question is "to ITB or not to ITB?"

Prices for calfskin ones are EUR1750 or USD2225

Current Obsession - Balenciaga Work RGGH Nuage




I think I have bitten by Balenciaga virus. After I was drooling over Dark Night, now I am in love with Nuage. This Balenciaga Work style is just perfect for me, and with RGGH combo it is simply to die for.
(As per today) I have ordered this beautiful bag from HGBags and am hoping that I can soon hug this babe.


Price of Work RGGH at HGBags is USD1,695.

Current Obsession - Balenciaga Work Dark Night




Dark Night vs. Noir

I am in a mission to get a darker colour Balenciaga bag as an alternative to noir. The nominee is currently Dark Night which is part of SS11 main colletion colours.
I have seen the pics in tPF and fell in love at the first sight. But I am still curious how gorgeous it is in SGH or RGGH combos.
Photos above displayed that Dark Night still shown a strong blue tone.... Love love it!

Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere






Slated to be released by mid April 2010, this bag is like a dream come for those who do not like to tote around (carry) the iconic LV Speedy.
I am definitely loving it and wishing to get the size 35.
The 35 size is about the same as Sofia Coppola bag (which I dream about to have one), but with the price that is not as expensive as Sofia Coppola line.

So, let's wait another 2 months untuil the bag is available on the shelves of LV stores.

Prices
Speedy Bandouliere 25 USD885
Speedy Bandouliere 30 USD915
Speedy Bandouliere 35 USD935
Speedy Bandouliere 40 USD1050

Ooh, and by the way, the other pics showed Michelle Williams carried the bag in size 30.

Current Obsession - Bottega Veneta Large Belly Veneta in Magma




Finally, after having some difficulties in choosing the colour (nero vs. magma vs. vermillon), I decided to take magma. It is such a refreshing orange colour which will be a perfect companion to my casual outfit.
But then there was another issue as my favourite BV style, i.e. large veneta, is not available in magma colour. Even I checked with our loval BV stores, they confirmed that they run out of magma (as well as assenzio) in veneta and belly styles. So I need a plan B, and luckily my favourite local reseller was expecting a large belly veneta in magma coming within one week. Hence immediately I ask her to reserve the bag for me. Yay!!

Now I just need to wait another one week and I feel that it is just too loong.... Tuesday... Wednesday... Thursday... Friday... Saturday... Sunday... Monday... Tuesday... Wednesday... Thursday... Friday...
Arrrrgh, I really can't wait!
