Fall/Winter 2007 Chanel Bag Review (Part deux)


Sorry for not having blogged yesterday. Believe it or not, I had to turn in early (meaning, be in bed early… but that didn’t mean I slept early, coz hello, remember I’m a perennial insomniac?). Today was one of those days where I had to sorta take my *ahem* Mommy duties seriously. I had a Parent- teacher orientation to attend *muwahaha funny*. Can you imagine ME up and about at 8am for a parent-teacher orientation?. It was really a sight to see. Trust me, even DH balked at me when he heard me saying “I better get out of bed before the alarm begins to annoy me.” Baghags, I deserve an early bird award today *muwahaha* So now that I’m back being shopgirl, I get the time to somehow finish the Chanel bag review that I had meant to post yesterday.

Chanel Shiny Calfskin Logo tote. (No, apparently this isn’t patent) Now this is the bag I’m loving. I did regret not getting the Chanel baby coco cabas (although wow, I remember seeing it a few times on other people and sorta lusted over it) because this bag is now on my lust-for list. Yummmmmyyyyy. Today’s probably a good day to call my shopper to say, “I WANT THIS BAG!” *cough* Charge it to my brother’s card *muwahaha freeloading abuse*.
Chanel metallic quilt clutch/ wallet. I find this clutch versatile. It works as a wallet and apparently also it has a chain strap. Dontcha just love it? 😀 I wonder how much this is… (but nah, I won’t buy it)
Chanel Quilt Bugatti Bag. It’s more of a mama bag, but the shape is quite a classic. Although I must admit I won’t be carrying this bag unless I’m already a certain age… 😀
Chanel logo bowler bag. The bag looks like a sharpei 🙂 It’s a shoulder sharpei sans the maintenance. I wouldn’t buy it just because I think it’s too faddish. It’s too wrinkly for my taste too. But yeah. I guess some people will find this appealing!

Now This bag has a similar look to the Hermes Lindy– put it this way, it’s a Chanel version. The 2 chain handles on the sides can be used to “fold” the bag (like a fortune cookie). It’s a pretty ok- looking bag. I think though that this bag is best seen up close to be appreciated. Time to test-drive this bag at your nearest Chanel boutique.

All bags are from Chanel.com. Whee, so this afternoon, I got the chance to pass by Jul B. Dizon and Janina Dizon- Hoschka’s joallerie salons. Ladies (and financiers muwahaha), if you didn’t yet know, Janina now has her own jewellery salon at the Manila Peninsula Hotel. And she’s got some beautiful pieces. There was a turquoise-ruby-sapphire-tsavorite ring that I singled out (priced at Php 37,000 if I’m not mistaken) that’s worth buying. Of course, me being the baghag, I could only ogle (and wish DH would come to that store and buy me something for my birthday muwahaha… super materialissssticcccc… :D)

Oh this is really funny. I finally got to meet up with another super baghag SQ who is superduper nice. (I guess that’s one of the perks of being a shopgirl, you get to meet so many new baghags, but oh boy oh boy I wish I could tell you the story of a “bag” stalker hahaha… I won’t. I’m too nice *muwahahaha scoff!!* Ok hags, pay me to tell you (shameless materialistic baghag: Will spill the beans for food haha). Kiddinggggggg! 🙂 *I love bag stalkers hahaha* Anyway, so SQ has this gorgeous Chanel hybrid (expandable) bag *leading me and EAI to just drooool haha* which I just had to share with you all. Ogle ogle ogle!!

Oh and speaking of Chanel, since this post is all about Chanel, I guess you can all somehow forgive me if I mention that:

TRESORIE will be selling this Jumbo CHANEL classic 2.55 in lambskin quilt tomorrow afternoon. This bag will be available AFTER 2pm tomorrow *haha the bag has a social calendar on its own hahaha (actually because I am going to bring her tomorrow at 2pm to the shop)* The condition is still fairly good with some very minor scuffing on the bottom corners. Measures 13″L x 8″H x 4″W. Hardware has no visible tarnish. The diamond quilts have somewhat flattened due to storage. Maroon leather interior is still quite clean. There is no more dustbag or authenticity card for the bag, but the authenticity hologram sticker is intact and its numbers are readable. Credit card price for this bag is Php 75,000 (can give discount if this is to be paid for by cash. Sorry no term payment for this please). Please come to TRESORIE if you are interested. I cannot hold this item for anyone, so it will have to go to the first one who comes to get her 🙂 (Tresorie is located at the 2nd floor of Doña Consolacion Bldg, 122 Jupiter Street Makati City– our bldg is where Nullah is located– beside Franck Provost). *Please note, bag will be available for viewing from 2pm- 7pm 🙂 not earlier than 2pm please*

Last piece of news!!! This shallow baghag will be renaming herself come June 17. Well I will still be called Mrs.T, but I’ve decided to give myself a nickname *muwahaha oh and I know some of the hags will love it hahaha… I can already imagine MS and JB laughing along with EAI. JDH and SQ were in on the joke this afternoon too! Makes me wish my own DM had named me that in real life instead *muwahahaha*)

Night baghags!!! And I hope to see you tomorrow afternoon! Please text me at (+63916) 7580857 if you plan to drop by 🙂

P.S. To my 2nd DB, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! And to my DM and DD— it was their 61st wedding anniversary last June 11… if only DD were still alive 🙁

xx
Mrs.T
