As mentioned in the first post, David got me a Bottega wallet for my birthday. From what i know, he bought the wallet long ago and hid it somewhere in the house. Since it was meant to be my birthday pressie, it should only be given to me recently but, he was afraid that the leather may turn moldy as it did happened to his colleagues but not Bottega brand lah. So he gave it to me around August. I did not expect to receive any xmas pressie from him. But he surprised me with a Tory Burch bag on Thursday night.
When i saw the gift wrap, i was like shit.....cause i didn't really like their bags when i visited their store earlier this month. I even told him that the bags there are more suitable for matured ladies. But as expected, he already bought the bag last month when i was away at Bangkok. Think he was sweating that day when i went into the store and came out with such comments lolz. Anyway, i will still give him face and use the bag okie...which i did. I started using the bag the very next day when we went down town. I think it won't be long for me to get used to the bag. And you wouldn't imagine a bag like this is already very heavy on its own, without any wallet or whatsoever in it. We later decided that the culprit is the logo. If you were to lift up the logo flap, you can feel its weight! One thing i like about this bag is, it can be a handbag or sling bag depending on your mood.
I also got a D-styling Tod's bag as my birthday cum xmas pressie. Glad that i did not purchase the bag during the taka member sale as the sales associate who served me is not professional at all and it reflects badly on the brand imagine. I was telling David, the kind of professional service we received at Bottega(taka) cannot be compared to Tod's. It is really a bad experience encountered with them for two days!! Luckily Reebonz had the Tod's bag that i wanted and was selling at $700 less than the one in the boutique!!!!!!! Although the color they had was not the one which i nearly purchased at the boutique but it' alright as i also like the green color. So i placed the order on Monday and the bag was delivered on Saturday within the same week! And i must say Reebonz had put in a lot of effort for those orders placed and to be delivered out during the festive season. I was so amazed when i received the parcel. (Sorry for being such a mountain tortoise as this is the first time i bought a branded bag on my own) The bag was placed nicely in the dust bag, wrapped by a black color wrapper and was placed in a black color box together with a Christmas card and Gingy and lastly, the box was tied with a white colored ribbon with golden embroidery words on it ''Reebonz.com Merry Christmas''. I was like OMG.....this is just too pretty!!!!
And i also randomly got a Fred Perry slingbag during one of the weekends at Takashimaya. Fred Perry was having 20% discount and i quite like the bag as it should be big enough to contain my Bottega wallet which my Mango slingbag can't. But i find it quite expensive given the bag was not real leather.
For those who wanted to own a branded bag or wallet, you may want to visit www.reebonz.com. Reebonz is an online store which sells genuine branded goods and is very established and well-known in Singapore. I didn't believe it until i went to their storewide sale held at Suntec exhibition hall few years back. And man, the queue to get in is damn long where you need to wait at least an hour. A plus point from buying from Reebonz is, apart the lower prices, you can opt to pay by credit card installment.
