Blame it on Coach
I originally went to DFS Galleria to check out the Coach Soho Tweed wristlet that I’d been eyeing since I saw it on their website two weeks ago:
It looked nice in the pic, but not that great in my hands coz the beige was more of a ‘dirty’ beige and not that easy to upkeep. And the price wasn’t that nice either…mucho expensivo compared to the US price.
So, I walked off. A little disappointed.
And walked past Dior.
And spied something pink.
Made an abrupt 90 degree turn and walked right in.
And fell in love-at-first-sight with this:
The Dior Trotter romantique flap bag in logo. IN PINK <-- very important!
I'd last seen something similar in my previous trip to Singapore sometime in February, but it was velvet, and in beige and brown. Was very very tempted then, but beige and velvet is not easy to upkeep (ok ok, I know pink isn't, either!!).
But this! Apparently, only DFS Galleria carries it in pink (we'll know when I drop by the Dior boutique in KLCC) coz it's a special edition or something...plus point! There were another three bags with the same logo design...one was quite big and square with a flap, another one was much smaller, squarish with no flap, and the other had a wide bottom which tapered towards the top. I spent a good 20 minutes there trying on all those other pink bags. But this one still made the cut...it went perfectly with the white casual capris and low heels I was wearing on that day, but I can imagine using it for night functions as well...double plus point!
So...deep breath...swipe swipe...and off I went, skipping all the way to Lucky Plaza where I promptly tried - and failed - to hide the Dior paperbag from hubby. No scolding though...own money mah!
Oh, and I blame it on Coach coz if the wristlet was much nicer and cheaper, I would’ve bought it and would’ve considered it my ‘great find’ in Singapore (hubby and I have this thing where we have to have a ‘great find’ in places we visit…it might be big, small, expensive or cheap but we must have one!) and that would’ve been that.
But then…this is much better! *hugs bag*

Good choice! One of the nicer Diors. DFS has some nice bags some times which other places don’t have. There’s a Gucci I saw there couple of months back and can’t be found here in KL. I have yet to go back there to see if it’s still there. Hahaha….

Haha…sorry lar, but it was really for some reasons not related to shopping and eating, so didn’t know if I could get away to meet up! Yes yes, next time you go to KL (which is like never, knowing you!!), you’ll get all the nice desserts you want!
Sigh…some people in Singapore earning big bucks, can afford to buy lots and lots of bags lor…*grin* So have you bought any new ones recently? Tell tell!
