My Resolution for 2009: Bag Limit

Okay I admit I went a bit crazy over Vuitton this past year, so I said to myself that I will stop browsing online shops (i.e. ebay, let-trade, etc) for fab finds (because that makes me want to buy it), and just buy the bag from the Vuitton boutique... That way it will be more expensive and will be brand new forcing me to wait and save money.

I've set myself to a 3-4 Bags limit for 2009, just buying it at appropriate occassions and reasonably set period of time. Okay here's a breakdown of my limit. I promise not to get side tracked for the sake of my marriage.

1. January to February - I'll be getting my Damier Speedy ebony in 30 from my fab friend.
2. May - my birthday - Looking into getting a Batignolles Horizontal or Vertical
3. August - our anniversay - thinking of Neverfull MM in Damier or Mono or Epi Speedy in Grenade
4. December - Xmas! - my Holy Grail bag -- Multicolore Speedy in Noir. (preowned can't justify a new one!)

Hopefully I can stick to my plan... Will update what happens throughout the year!
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Dying for Damier

OMG I am so happy. I am finally getting a Damier Speedy! For weeks I have been obssessing about getting one, and then, two of them came up on eBay, I did not hesitate one bit and went to place my bid. I thought it looked good so I just went ahead and placed my bid without having it authenticated first. Then, I thought to post it in the forums I am in just to be sure. One forum said that the 30 looked funny, but the other forum said it was okay. But I don't want an okay I want an "it's authentic"... I was obssessing so much it was eating up my life! And then suddenly, a good friend of mine said she was selling her Damier Speedy and it's basically brand spankin' new! SO I said yes! Considered it sold!

oooooh I'm so happy. Plus, I already got my azur in 25.... All my dreams are coming true. *sigh*

The Bag Fund Plan

Okay, I could not sleep last night because I was thinking which bag I'm going to save up first. I have always wanted the Azur Speedy in 30. That's actually the first LV I fell in love with... But then I was thinking about functionality as well, having two young children I need something I can wear with less hassle plus something that can fit more things, hence, the need for a Batignolles Horizontal.

I have figured out that if I started putting away $100 a fortnight starting January I can come up with the money to buy either one by my birthday (which is on May), the question is which bag? The BH is about $100 more than the Azur but definitely worth the price tag. I will probably just leave it to my instincts when I have them both on hand, I am swearing I am going to have both anyway it's just a question of which's first!

Will keep you's posted once I start the "bag fund"... Hope I don't get side tracked!

Meet me: the learned bagista

I am the fully learned bagista.

Hence, the blog's name.

First, a bit of background, I'm currently a SAHM (stay-at-home-mum) who finds joy in taking care of my little ones. I am married to the love of my life, my best friend and soul mate. I have only got one weakness (which I consider my strength some days)... designer handbags. particularly Vuittons.

I have been in love with handbags probably from the day I was born, I just did not know it back then. It started from purchasing shopping-centre-no-brand bags, to some Hello Kitty or pink bags, and later on to Nine West or KVZ bags, which escalated to Juicy Couture, a short fling with Coach and finally, my greatest love, Louis Vuitton.

This is just to start with, later on I will reiterate where this love of bags has brought me. I have got burnt, condemned and judged. But still my passion for the handheld and shoulder held lived on.

Allow me to share to you my life and my bags. And how I became the learned bagista. xoxo
