What's inside MrsMartinez's Bag?

Some time ago, a long time reader and online friend of mine (we haven't met- sad huhuhu), Jane of Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice requested a photo of the contents of my bag. I have never thought of showing off what's inside my bag until she asked for some photos to feature on her blog ; p

To find out what's inside my bag, read after the break....

Coach Bag: Parker Leather Medium Carryall (F21626)

January 1, 2013

Coach
#1525 Ground Floor
Rinku Premium Outlets
458-4690

When DH and I went to Japan, we each packed 1 small suitcase inside a bigger suitcase. At the Customs Area, the inspector requested to open one of our suitcases. He was puzzled by what he saw, no wonder he asked us about it. DH curtly replied, "My wife likes to shop." I think that answer was good enough because the officer did not ask anymore questions and immediately zippered back our luggage ; p

Anyway, one of the many things I bought was this Coach Parker Leather Medium Carryall in Rinku Premium Outlets in Osaka. Isn't she a beauty?

JPY 70,000 35,000 24,500 (PhP12,250)

I have 2 other Coach bags. Both of which were bought from Woodbury Common Premium Outlet in New York in 2008. I already wrote an entry on how to spot a fake Coach, you can read it here. So, this entry is all about the details of this bag.

I can't get enough of Kobe. Aside from Kobe Beef, there are a lot of things to do, places to visit and food to try. There are a lot of things we crossed out in my itinerary due to bad weather. I will definitely be back during summer time.

From Tarumi Station, we walked towards Mitsui Outlet Park. It was a long walk. I was tired and at the same time excited to see what's in store for us ; )

In my previous post, you learned about how to spot a fake Longchamp Le Pliage. To help you visualize the difference between a fake from the original one, I borrowed  fake tote bag.

The photo above features an original RED made in France Longchamp Le Pliage Type M while the GREEN one (3rd photo) is a fake! It was bought for less than PhP 500 ; p





Right now, Longchamp has been manufacturing some of their bags from China. So, if you bought one that is made in China, it could still be real. Photos below can help you spot the difference so look closely.

A tiring day that starts around lunch time. It's an hour bus ride from Port Authority, N.Y.C. but it's all worth it. We went on a Saturday and you can imagine the countless Japanese tourists and locals shopping in one of the countless shopping outlets in U.S.

Since half of the day was gone, DH and I decided to enter shops which we only have eyes on. Carefully spotting shops with people lining up just to enter. And also shops that have an additional discount with the coupon that we got FOC from the Information Center if you road via Gray Line bus.
