I’ve been under a lot of stress lately. I didn’t realize opening a store could be sooooo daunting!! It’s like halfway through the construction and all that paperwork *I swear, there’s TONS of it*, I just wanted to throw in the towel and say, “that’s it folks, I ain’t doin’ this anymore”. But thanks to the unending support of everyone, I made it! This should all be sinking in already as our opening day draws near, but it’s not! *hahaha I am calmmmmmmm.. maybe I’ll start palpitating on Sunday night hahaha*.
And for you baghags, clotheshags, and accessories hags out there, the opening day of our store is on MAY 21, MONDAY! *screams…. Stressssssssss* 😀 There will definitely be a few new bags on display– brands? Chanel. Louis Vuitton. Bottega Veneta. Goyard. Ok ok enough said 🙂 We still don’t have a credit card facility available (it’s still being processed! pffft :D), so for the moment, we won’t be able to accept card payments. But soon, my dear hags, soon! 🙂
Here’s a little teaser for you all– this is part of what our store looks like:
I certainly hope I get the chance to see you all there. Monday is not our “grand opening” party (yeah all that pomp and circumstance will have to wait a bit til we sorta get our “groove” :D). Monday is really when we open doors for you hags to come visit us. We promise we’ll throw a little tea party as soon as we get things movin’ smoothly. After all, this is also my first time to venture into retail.
Our boutique is located in Makati, quite near Rockwell. There is ample parking there, but if not, cross the street and there’s plenty more parking 🙂 *Pssst, I’m givin’ y’all some hints here as to where the shop will be hehe* Wait, here’s another hint: Go buy the latest issue (May) of Lifestyle Asia Magazine :).. Hehe if you look hard enough, you’ll find it! Anyway, will DEFINITELY post the address of our boutique this coming Saturday 😀
I’m so proud of this “project” that my 2 friends and I have undertaken. It is a huge responsibility to have a store, and we all promise to be up to your standards. *Cross fingers*. I swear, hags, this store is really a labor of love….
*Big sigh*… I really hope I can finally see some of you lurking readers passing by the store 🙂 It would really mean a great deal for me to meet you all there soon!!
MARK THE DATE, hags! TRESOR, AND D! LUXE ARE OPENING ON MAY 21, 2007 MONDAY 🙂 Do text me if you plan to pass by 🙂 +63916-7580857
P.S. APPLEGARDE Leather Kits (cleaner and conditioner) are going to be available at the store for pickup on May 21! 🙂
P.P.S. TRESORMAKATI.COM site will of course STILL be up *naturellement!* 🙂 Tresormakati.com is my “baby” 🙂 *The online site is “separate” from store operations*

Hi Mrs. T.,
My name is Agnes and I’m a bag addict. Grabe, “addict?”Ano ba ‘yan!? Anyway, I just came across your website and I’ve been reading your blog pretty much ALL day long –I’m still reading!
I’m definitely enjoying your entries, especially your pictures. I also enjoy your readers’ comments. You have no idea how excited I am to find your site! Finally, some bag hags like me that GET IT when it comes to “collecting” and “investing” in high quality, ultra chic, timeless pieces of art and craftsmanship ;0) I particularly collect Lanvin, Chanel, Hermes and YSL. I also have other labels like Balenciaga, Chloe, Prada, LV, etc…
Kudos to you, Mrs. T.! Keep up the great work here! I am in need of this therapy! I wish you all the best in opening your store. I’m sure it’ll be fabulous!
Cheers,
Agnes from Los Angeles, CA
P.S. Daphne’s necklaces look great! My sister and I used to watch her show F… then they took it off the air…My sister and I were in mourning for weeks watching taped old episodes. We miss her show!
Agnes of LA: Thanks thanks! I know, I get pretty shallow really. It’s like, our bags are our form of “escape” from the harsh realities of life *dang is that the truth or what!!* I totally agree with you. It is therapy indeed! And thank you for the wellwishes!
P.S. yes Daph’s necklaces are really gorgeous. She is truly very talented! I am also one of her biggest fans! 🙂
Charisse: The store’s called Tresorie. Thanks 🙂
