Remember when I went to Hong Kong last year? I was supposed to buy Louis Vuitton Eva clutch bag but then DH suggested Tivoli GM instead. I saw the tote bag on the shelf screaming my name hahaha Talk about being a shopaholic! Ok, just kidding ; p 

After carrying my Tivoli GM for almost a year and several visits to the spa for back pains later, I am determined to find a small bag. And here she is...

Before I settled for this one, we scoured around Central in Hong Kong and Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui for 2 straight days. We went inside every store that sells a designer bag before I decided on this one.

Hi! 

Someone informed me that some unscrupulous online sellers are using my photos to scam other people. Please be warned that I don't sell online stuff especially branded bags. These bags for my own personal collection. 

If you have found any of my photos online kindly inform me through my Facebook fan page. 

Thanks

Alright, guys, girls and gays! I have made my very first purchase of a Louis Vuitton bag. This is a very exciting entry. I hope you are as enthusiastic as me as I write down my experience shopping for my very first LV. You might want to check out how to spot a fake Louis Vuitton here.

Here is a little trivia... I started my blog in 2008 with a post about Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch. Now, three years later I still have not bought an Eva Clutch. BUT I got an LV Monogram Canvas Tivoli GM (M40144) instead. For me, it is a better choice. Thanks to the keen eye of DH who spotted the bag straight out of the show room.

You all know I went to Hong Kong. I have been there several times but it was only in our recent trip that the itinerary was purely shopping! Yes, you read that right... S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G ; p

Read after the break for the unboxing!

A disappointed me!

Last Sunday, we went to Greenbelt to celebrate my mom's nth birthday @ CYMA Greek restaurant. On the way, DH and I went to Louis Vuitton store to look for the Eva clutch. I was disappointed to see the bag, not because of its size- I really want a small bag, but with its sling.

LV Neverfull

When I put it over and across my body, as it was designed, it fell between my knees and my hip. Totally unflattering hehe So, moving on, I checked on the Neverfull bag but the zipper is lacking in its design. Hmmm... not Philippine- friendly I must say hehe And don't get me started on those thin handles.

So what now? I have to check the LV site again to see what else I like. Any other suggestions?

Louis Vuitton: Eva Clutch

Geez! I haven't started yet but I seem can't figure out which of my two email address were registered in this blog teehee... 

Finally been able to get the result, not what I would have wanted but good enough.

LV Eva clutch

Anyway, I have been pondering on buying an LV Eva clutch for my birthday month of May. But DH has been my conscience since day 1. I haven't had the courage to go an LV store for fear I might over indulge myself and would have bought a wallet and a bag... I wish hehe My conscience is killing me hehe Hmmm... the money I will spend for a bag could feed a lot of street children but, what the heck, a girl has to have at least a piece of a designer bag once in her life tee hee Bad thinking hehe A lot of power is needed to convince my DH which I know will verge on a debate and my conscience will sink in and finally... no bag for me! It ain't over till it's over...
