They tell me that once you've got the luxe bug you can't go back, oh woe is me, how right are they? I've been to many a Gucci store in my short 21 years on this blue blue planet of ours. Having scouted shops in Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong, Taiwan and admired the gorgeous bags and lights in Tokyo (where I dared not enter in my "back-packing" look).
I've always been admanent that showing off those ugly canvas logos as a young-gen Y looked nothing more than cheap - why? because it's overdone and never classy and because there are too many fakes! So after much delibriation, debates and countless hours of browsing through shops and many of the luxury brand ookbooks, from Fendi, Chloe to Chanel - I decided that I loved Chanel best - but I am not old enough or glamourous or elegant or RICH enough to have a Chanel and I just don't like LV - Their constant showy monograms are too much and too blah; although having said that I did give Mummy a RED non-monogrammed leather wallet (because it was Red and its leather so it has no ungly LV monogram = ozzing with sexiness) and Chloe and Fendi are too plain and something I can see myself grow out off, so I decided Gucci fits me just fine. They have the monogram canvas range - which like I said, I have no desire for, but their leather range is beautiful. The monogram being subtle but obvious and the designs are ever so elegant, classy and something that will grow as I grow - not just a passing trend.
So may I present to you, the most expensive bag I have:
The Gucci, Icon Bar Continental in Black; costing me at least half my week's wage. But it was worth it. The assistant manager was fantastic. Totally patient with me as I went through 5 different wallets, narrowing down to 3, calling a friend, then coming back in the next day to purchase it after showing said friend.
I am
officially one of those kids with that designer lust - Having three tiff&co. necklaces in different design, reading vogue and madison and shoptilyoudrop, lusting over the burberry coat and chanel classic bag - *SIGH*
Mental NOTE: Must curb spending.
Without further notice - may I present to you my gucci wallet - totally classic - with 6 card holders, zipped compartment and 3 money holding spaces.
*HEARTS*
