Vintage Love: Lady Dior Patent Cannage Pochette

Let me get this straight, di ako brand conscious. Kahit ano, pwede sa akin. BUT it must be pretty and sturdy. And most of the times, yung mga branded ang pretty and sturdy. Bakit ba ako defensive? Hehehe. Pasakalye ko lang yan kasi I wanted to post one of my precious Baguio ukay finds: Lady Dior patent cannage pochette.


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.

  4. Lucky you! It's nice.

    Recently 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... :)

  5. 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.

    1. Nakakatuwang mag-ukay. Kung ano-ano ang makikita mo. Kaya lang kung minsan kahit di kelangan nabibili ko kasi ang mura.
