Louis Vuitton Montsouris Backpack in GM

Yay to scoring another good deal on Ebay. I was so unexpected to win the bid at the very last second. Can you guess what I bought this time round? It's a Louis Vuitton Montsouris backpack in GM. 


I know you guys must be thinking why did I buy another montsouris in GM when I had the MM size? That's because I've sold it as I didn't utilise the bag that much. I was just trying my luck for the montsouris GM and I didn't expect to win the bid so I'm really ecstatic! 


This is how it looks like when I'm carrying it.

Web straps


Serial code: MI1020
Made in France, Dec 2000


Dimension of the bag:
Length: 31cm
Height: 36cm
Width: 12cm


If you ask me to choose between the MM and GM size, I would definitely choose the GM size as I can store much more stuffs in it. It can fit a 13 inch MacBook Pro and an A4 size paper. The web straps are definitely much more comfortable than the leather straps. Although the exterior condition of the GM bag isn't as good as compared to the MM bag, I can send it to the leather shop to have the whole vachetta leather replace. Thankfully the interior condition of the bag is great. No odour smell and no stain seen. For the price I paid, I really can't complain much.

April favourites 2021

Hey everyone! Its been ages since I last blogged as I'm busy with work and heavily pregnant. I'm due in 5 weeks time!! How time flies and we can all see baby J! 


Today, I'm going to share with you guys my April favourites. Recently, my husband and I bought a MacBook Pro to co-share. We are loving it so much despite both of us are clueless at using it initially. I love how sleek and lightweight the lappy is! Goodbye to my old Fujitsu laptop that had been through thick and thin with me since poly to uni period. 


First of all, the bag of the month that I would like to share with you guys is the Supreme logo zip tote bag in leopard design. I was browsing through Farfetch and I instantly fell in love with it. However, the leopard design was not available online. I managed to cop it at a really good deal on carousell. Whats more, the seller only used the bag once. So it looks pretty much brand new. I've watched online reviews on Youtube on how to authenticate the bag before purchasing it.

Dimension of the bag:
L: 50cm 
H: 32cm 
W: 20cm



The bag is very spacious and lightweight. It comes with one inner and one outer pocket. It's available in 4 colours: Black, Red, Green and Leopard. However, the leopard design is rare to cop. So I'm happy when I can get my hands on it! Not only this bag is used for work, but it looks rather hype for a diaper bag too right? 


Second item that I want to share is my new YSL cushion foundation. I've ran out of my Lancome marble cushion foundation and I can't get my hands on the refill pact only to realise that they stopped the production of it. So I decided to try out the YSL cushion foundation to check out what's the hype of it. I purchased it at BHG Bugis. It retails for $102 and the refill pact cost $62. Gotten a $10 discount as there was a minimum spending of $100. Not only that, you will become a YSL member instantly and I received 2 free gifts. One is a YSL mirror, another one is a small pouch to store my cushion foundation. I'm using shade 25. It smells good and my face does not feel oily after long hours of wearing it.

Last but not least, the last item I want to share its a pair of light pink Skechers shoes. I have very bad water retention. I'm swell up from my arms, hands, legs and feet. As a nurse, I stand up all day working so by the end of the day, my feet will be so swollen and its so uncomfortable to wear covered shoes. Jaryl suggested that I should check out Skechers shoes, but I always have this thinking that only aunties wear it.. The store was about to close as it was late but I guess the salesperson saw that I was heavily pregnant and I sincerely want to buy the shoes as I'm super desperate. We were also lucky as the store was having a last day promo of buy one, get one free so Jaryl and I gotten a pair of shoes each. I'm loving how comfortable and stretchy the shoes is. I've forgotten which series is this shoes, but this is how it looks like..





Alright, that's the end of my April favourites. It's time for me to do housework. Till then..

Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires

I was super lucky to win the auction on Ebay for this LV pochette accessoires. I spent about SGD690 including taxes and shipping. Even though it was a preloved bag, the bag is still clean and pretty much unused. 

The bag is authentic as I gotten it from a secondhand shop from Japan on Ebay. It came with the original dustbag and short strap. But I always carry the bag as a crossbody using the long strap.


What's in my bag.


Dustbag and short strap



From Pochette to crossbody








Made in France, June 2000

Size of pochette accessoires
L:20cm
W:3.5cm

Pretty delighted that I managed to cop this bag as its unavailable on SG website.

Louis Vuitton Montsouris Backpack in MM

Louis Vuitton Montsouris MM 


Hi everyone! I've added a louis vuitton piece to my bag collection. This is a vintage montsouris MM backpack. I managed to cop it at a reasonable price from a carousell seller. As this piece is a vintage bag, you can only purchase it from the preloved websites which I will list it down later. I've been bidding on Ebay from these Japanese sellers, but the bid always ended up being really high like USD700+ not inclusive of shipping. You might wonder if your LV bag is authentic if you were to purchase from Ebay? Fret not, most of the Ebay Japanese sellers do own a preloved luxury store in Japan. It's also a crime if they were to sell imitation goods. Most importantly, dont forget to check out the seller ratings and reviews before buying from them! 

Websites:
https://sg.carousell.com/




The monogram print on the back is much more brighter as compared to the front based on the first picture. I guess its due to the sun exposure and the age of this bag? The patina leather is quite even. It has a clean interior and not so visible water marks on the bottom of the bag. Thus, this is a good buy! :D 




There are 3 different sizes of this bag. It comes in PM, MM and GM. It's easy to differentiate between these 3 bags. PM size would come with additional leather handle at the back. MM size would have the golden ring handle. The straps of the GM size would be fabric whereas the MM and PM size are vachetta straps.  


This bag is made in france on February, 2000. The last production of this bag is 2007.



It can store my long wallet and umbrella. It's quite spacious too!




Many users said that they cant store anything in the front pocket as it is too small. But I managed to fit a small packet of wet tissue, hand sanitiser and a lipstick. 


The size of the MM Montsouris
Length: 26cm
Width: 12cm
Height: 28cm

It cant fit an A4 size. But it can fit my daily necessities that I carry everyday.

April favourites 2020

Hello yall! Today I'm going to share my favourites for the month of April. Is anyone the same as me? When you work from home, but you ended up shopping online due to the great deals? Without further ado, drum roll to my number 1 favourite which is...


Givenchy Antigona (small, calfskin leather) 


Retail for €1650 - From Portugal


I managed to cop this bag from Farfetch. I have been eyeing this bag for ages! The small antigona cost SGD2990 at Marina Bay Sands Shoppes. The MBS sales assistant told me that the designer for Givenchy has changed so the iconic antigona model would no longer be available once they clear the stocks. 
Note: Do try it in store if you are not sure if you want to purchase the small or medium size. 


This bag was shipped from a boutique in Portugal. The boutique is called Fashionclinic which sell many luxurious brands. Guess what? I copped it at a 40% discount! I paid SGD1814 including shipping. My boyfriend knew how much I love it because he always complained that I walked into Givenchy Store just to try on the bag without purchasing it. Finally this baby is in my hands! 


The reason why I opted for the calfskin leather because I love how glossy it looks. Though it is scratch proof, it wont lose it's shape as the time pass. Personally, I feel that this bag match with different styles. For example, edgy/cool/classy/basic. Whereas the goatskin leather look more of a casual everyday style. The pro of the goatskin leather is that it's scratch resistant. So for those who don't want to baby their bag, opt for the goatskin! For discount wise, calfskin leather rarely go on sale. So I thought this is a good opportunity to cop the bag!

I bought a rosegold luggage from a luggage store at Ximending, Taiwan. Because the wheels of my Delsey luggage decided to spoil on the first day of my Taiwan adventure. ): Hopefully I get a chance to use this luggage more often!

Tory Burch Ella Canvas Tote Review

Tory Burch Ella Canvas Tote 


From top view


Items I carry daily.


This bag was gifted from my boyfriend for valentine's day. I've been using this bag for work as it is spacious and sturdy. As you can see from the above picture, I do bring tons of stuff which cause my bag to be heavy. Oh well, these are my essentials for work..


The Ella tote has been around for years and Tory Burch produced different patterns and materials of the bag. The most iconic piece would be the nylon material. It comes in 2 sizes, mini and large. I opted for the canvas bag as it looks unique and I have yet to see anyone carry it in SG. The leather handles of the bag sits well on my shoulder without falling off. The size of my bag is H:32cm, W: 44cm, D: 11cm. It has 3 big pockets, one on the outside and two on the inside. It definitely fits A4 size document. I would skip the details of what I carry inside my bag as it is always the same old things.
