Design-it-yourself Bags

This bag actually doesn't exist. Well, at least not YET, until I've paid for it would it actually materialize. There are now various DIY (Design-it-yourself) online stores that customizes your very own dream bags. This is a creation from 1154 LILL Studio, an Erika bag with 'Love Spell' prints and 'Pearl Sateen' straps, costing US$140. You can play around with the many fabric designs for both the exterior and interior of the bag. Another DIY online store, Freddy&ma, also offers a huge variety of prints with a choice of leather and hardware. Enjoy making your very own bag!

BS: Tano Bags


I recently came across this brand of bags, which is really really HOT. I mean I'm obsessed with 'biou-ing' bags, but honestly I find many super branded bags ugly. Tano bags are different, looking at their selection, you can't help but want one or two of them. For each design, the bags come in a great variety of colours too. My personal favourites are the Shopper (in brusciato brown) and Sexbomb (in red). Feautured here is the Jet Setter (in brusciato) which I think is already sold out, but what a beauty it is, isn't it?

MBC: Sporty Adidas





This is a new Adidas bag still fresh in the shops. The red is bright and sporty and downright eye-catching. Boy is this attention-seeking or what *lol* Anyway I grabbed the bag because it is selling fast, even though it is not on promotion... the retail price is $39. There is a bigger variation to the design which is also pretty but I liked this one better. The strap is adjustable so you could hang it on your shoulder or across your body. The buttons are pretty unique and overall the quality is great. Heard from the sales girl that is waterproof, but have not verified it yet. Is a good accessory for going outdoors or shopping, but a bit too small as a gym bag.

MBC: Beach Bag




I insisted I had use for this bag when I saw it with a super marked-down price of $2.90. Explanation for buying:"It is GREAT for beach, camping, outdoors or virtually anything else!"
REAL reason for buying:"It is only going for $2.90... I can't think straight!"
But seriously, there is really LOTSA space in this bag, just throw anything in, even your beach volleyball =p

MBC: Lunch Pouchie



This is a little lunch pouch with cool chinese floral prints. The material is pretty smooth and shiny, resembling silk but not really as light as the real thing. It can hold a HP, some $, cards and a pack of tissue paper. My Chinese friend was pretty attracted to it and she said she'll be getting one too! =)

MBC: Green Backpack




Okie I can hear many friends screaming at me for getting this bag. I already have a Jansport backpack, and, it has almost the same design and compartments. My excuse is this particular one is green in colour (okie pretty bad excuse...) and that I bought it on promotion (is this one better? =p) I guess I was mesmerized by the nice checkered pattern on the bag *guilty*. It was only going for $32... good for putting in heavy textbooks ya noe ;p

MBC: Business Bag (sold at flea market)




This is a leather-looking PVC bag, another steal discovered at John's little. It can hold A4 documents and other barang barang. It looks simple and professional enough to carry to work and other serious events. I used it for my recent interview and it goes well with the 'office look'. Although not on discount, it costed only $30, really a value-for-money item. Comes with a mini pouch which you can put your small miscellaneous items in.
