I mistakenly referred to the stitching as "cannelle" -- mali pala, it should be "cannard." Anyway, when I saw it in the flea market (ukay), I was immediately taken because of the high-quality patent leather with lambskin lining as well as the even and straight stitching. I have an obsession with even stitching. Ewan ko ba, di ako matahimik pag pangit ang tahi. I know, I know, may gamot ang mga ganitong conditions. Hehehe. While the cannage stitching reminded me of Dior, I wasn't expecting it to be one. So I was pleasantly surprised when I was cleaning it and turned it inside out. Wow! Just wow! It's marked "Christian Dior Paris" on one of the card sleeves, and the serial code and country of origin are stamped on another sleeve. Bongga!!!
It's similar to this, but mine has a north-south design, instead of east-west. If only I can capture the softness and suppleness of the lambskin leather
(*sorry, little lambie*) or the high-gloss shine of the patent cowhide. Ganda 'no? While the bag itself is flawless, it was missing its chain
strap and Dior charms. I easily fixed the former, but the latter is a bit
difficult to find online. Nevertheless, paying 100 pesos for a 500-dollar bag is not a bad deal anymore. Even with its charms missing. Besides, I'm charming enough for the both of us, right? Hehehehe!
Ayan, di daw brand conscious, pero kilig na kilig sa find.
Pwede na akong mag-donya-donyahan. Hehehehe.
Ang ganda! I love ukay finds din!

It's a wonderful feeling when you get something really pretty or something you've been looking for since forever but isn't available in the shops.
DeleteEto na yun! Jackpot ka mother!!!!!!!!!!!! Inggit ako,kahit hindi ako alam i-pronounce ang "Cannage Pochette" hahaha
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! Eto na yata ang talent ko: mag-shopping at mag-ukay.
DeleteIba talaga ang shopping eye mo, Mother E!
ReplyDeleteDi ako marunong sumayaw or kumanta, pero mahusay akong mag-shopping, sooooo...fair trade? Hehehe
DeleteLucky you! It's nice.
ReplyDeleteRecently ko na lang din naamin sa sarili ko na ang mga magaganda at matitibay talaga, may brand. Pero meron din namang branded na waley din ang quality. Need mo talaga masubukan para mapatunayan. Or makinig sa gaya mo na marami na experience with brands, para di na masayang ang pera. Hahaha. :)
P.S. Fewer but better things na tayo ngayon eh... :)
That's true. Kung minsan kasi yung iba banking on brand name lang. Pero there are other brands like Fossil na not as expensive pero maganda pa rin ang quality.
ReplyDeleteAng ganda! Gusto ko yung bling bling niya. At ang bongga lang na Dior siya!
ReplyDeleteNakakatuwang mag-ukay. Kung ano-ano ang makikita mo. Kaya lang kung minsan kahit di kelangan nabibili ko kasi ang mura.
