Long considered as the stone for the royals and the most beloved precious stone in Chinese culture, Jade was always seen as overly traditional for the 21st century but be prepared to loan those Jade jeweleries from your mom and your grandma soon as they are going to be one of the hottest trends, ignited [...]
This Prada tote might not be the hottest bag of the season but it is surely pretty. I like the feminine touch of the flora print on the velvet jacquard against the backdrop of a briefcase-shape bag. The more I look at it, the more I love it. The price of this bag is not [...]
We first featured the Burberry Fall/Winter 2009 runway previews in June 09 and most items are now available in the stores. The Burberry check has been reinvented in many variations and for Fall/Winter 2009, Christopher Bailey has reintepreted it again in military overdyed print which makes it come across tougher and non-pretentious. Featured here are [...]
The latest campaign shot of D&G for Fall / Winter 2009 is among my favourites so far this year and the Vlada bag, especially the one covered with red crystals, stole my attention. It has been a while since the last time I liked a bag from D&G for its originality and also for its [...]
I had almost ruled out Prada studded bags completely this season until I saw a lady carrying one exactly like this in a Korean restaurant today. In my opinion the studs along the trims are wayy too crowded but on this white distressed leather with contrasting black trim, everything seems cool and right. I had [...]
Erica of HGBags will be expecting a small batch of new Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2009 shipments by next week. If you were in the mailing list, you would have received the alert-email since earlier this week. Anyway, one piece had been released earlier today and it makes me really excited. Balenciaga Work in Raisin is rich [...]
I am pretty sure that this bag will be outdated after the Fall/Winter 2009 so if you are a looking for one that will still be in style for the next few seasons, this is not it. But by itself, it is a pretty bag with the green shades on the softened Python leather body. [...]
I have not been fond of or excited with the Monogram Hexagone at all by any bit ever since its debut on the Fall / Winter 2009 man runway and now the bags are officially available in Vuitton stores. The only thing i love about this line is that the bags are lined with leather [...]
I was invited to a store opening (Larry Jewelry) at Ion Orchard yesterday. Admittedly, window-shopping diamonds and jewelries worth more than SGD300,000 a piece really perks one up and gives big appetitte for lunch, which in a nutshell means a great day! After Larry, my friend, Jean and I went into the Vuitton store and [...]
There are many things to look forward to this September and October. The Vogue September Issue (both the movie and the magazine), Coco Before Chanel, the movie (coming to most parts in Asia only in September) and the exciting reversible bag collection from Chanel, called the Coco Cocoon. Lily Allen is the face of the [...]
Loewe, the gem of Spanish luxury leather good brands is now one of the hottest brand to watch after being spotted carried by the likes of Victoria Beckham. Out of US, especially in Europe the brand has always been comparable to Hermes of France or Valextra of Italy for its classic designs, luxurious material and craftmanship. [...]
We have not featured a Miu Miu bag for a long time so this is a good break to the break. Note to Miuccia, I dun think Katie Cruise is a good Miu Miu face so find someone else more exciting for the next campaign please. Anywho, it is official that we are seeing studs [...]
This is a heart-stopping beauty from YSL for Fall 2009. My heart skipped at least two beats when i saw this last weekend. The damage? Just SGD3,500 but think about how this bag will be extremely trendy for the next few months and become a fashionably classic afterwards. Stefano Pilati and his team over at YSL [...]
I said anything studded will be HUGE next season and believe me, no designer will want to be left out from this stud-studded business, including Coach. I have not made any entry on Coach for a while despite the fact that the brand launches a few new designs almost every month as the last one [...]
Dear Purseholic

Dewi, Jakarta
Dear Dewi
We totally understand your problem. Loewe Amazona, especially in tan suede is a classic that is hard to resist but unfortunately the tropical climate of Indonesia and the region is [...]
