Longchamp Les Planètes Tote Bag in Black


The entire content of this entry has been transferred in my new blog, xoxo MrsMartinez

Lately, my email was swamped with requests for Longchamp Les Planètes feature. Since I don't own any Longchamp shopping bag, I did the next best thing---> borrow one from my good friend, Cats ; p She purchased her tote bag last January 2012 in Sogo Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong for HK$ 990.


*Longchamp Planètes Shopping Tote with Long Handle in black HK$ 990 (US$ 155)

With more than a passing resemblance to Pliage®, the Planètes line is distinguished by its structured form, thick fabric trimmed with full-grain cowhide and its satiny feel. Handbag, tote or hobo bag... choose it this season in its new ebony color -SOURCE

Dimensions :


  • 10x10x5½ inch (25x25x14 cm)

Description:

  • 1 main compartment with zipper opening
  • interior: One flat pocket on front 

Recommendation: To remove any stains, simply brush softly.

Care: To maintain your product, apply with a soft brush Longchamp colorless cream regularly to leather areas.

*In the photo, notice that Longchamps' long handles easily fall on the sides of the bag. Les Planètes tote handbags are not foldable unlike the Les Pliages.

I am not an expert and I don't authenticate fake from real Longchamp Les Planètes tote bags. Please buy only from Longchamp boutiques.

I hope that by showing these photos, it can help you with your purchase of a new bag. I know my photos are awesome but please do not steal them ; p Last thing I want to see is a fake reseller with my real Longchamp photos... what a loser and an asshole!

Bag Review: Kathy Van Zeeland Postman Travel Shopper

I first encountered the brand, Kathy Van Zeeland, when DH and I visited my cousin who lives in Boston, Ma. I can't remember if I saw it in Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Anyway, I shudder at the thought of buying it. For one, I was not yet into buying expensive handbags. Second, I was not really sure if it's a well known brand.

Kathy Van Zeeland Fifth Avenue, New York

I relayed to my cousin about my shopping dilemma. From her, I learned that it is a pretty well-known brand. Sadly, I was not able to go back because it was already our last day in Boston. Fast forward to 2011, she emailed me that she was able to buy not just one but two bags from the designer brand. She emailed both pics and asked me to choose one. She said that she will include it in her next package that will be shipped to the Philippines.

 unboxing Tod's D-Styling Bauletto

It's been almost a week now since I bought this bag. So far, I don't have any major complaints. I like the color and the overall look. I particularly love the quality of the leather, it is so soft to touch. The bag smells really nice too.

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.

Hello ; p As I am typing this, it's 1 a.m.! DH and I just got back from an awesome wedding of the younger brother of my friend. I want to share a quick post of my knockout outfit tonight hehehe

do I look chica enough for you?

What is chica?

It means "girl" in Spanish. It sometimes connotes a hot chick. The second meaning is what I am aiming for ; p

Can you believe that I pulled this look in less than an hour? I went to Hotel Sofitel in my office attire- white shirt and jeans, then changed into these vavavoom outfit in one of the restrooms of the hotel.

Blouse: Off White Woven Shirt by Ensembles PhP1195
Skirt: Ensembles in Black PhP795
Shoes: Aerosoles PhP3650
Nails: Orly in Sand Castle done in Freyja Day & Nail Spa

I bought the blouse first and then had to return it for exchange of the same item the next day. That was the time I saw the cute skirt that is so me... I just have to buy it ; p

Ensembles well-suited is available in Trinoma 9166183

How To: Spot a FAKE LV Monogram Canvas Bag

I purchased my first LV bag in a Louis Vuitton boutique in Central, Hong Kong. There is no doubt that I have the original Tivoli GM which was first released in November/ December 2007. One of the reasons I chose to buy this brand because it does not go on SALE. It has no OUTLET. The value appreciates with time because it is a prestigious brand.

Because of the reasons stated above, over time, many counterfeiters have replicated the brand. For those who are curious to find out how to spot an LV fake, read a comprehensive review and some tips here.

Edsa Shangri- La Manila
1 Garden Way
Ortigas Center
Mandaluyong City

I am so excited about this new feature post I am working on my blog. I have been thinking for such a long time to feature ordinary people and their fashion sense. I had actually done it before like my fashionista blog posts but right now I am upping the ante by adding their tote bag as well! Wouldn't it be nice to know what kikay girls these days are carrying with them as they explore the city?

May I present to you my DS as my guinea pig hehe

dress: Taiwan, shoes: Aerosoles


NaRaYa... Ribbon Bags!

I got this dainty looking bag inside one of the loot bags I took home during the Vanity Vanity event. I used the hand bag once and got praises for it. I knew that I have seen the brand somewhere but couldn't seem to remember it hehe It turned out NaRaYa has a boutique in SM North EDSA lol

NaRaYa gold checkered hand bag and a make up pouch to go with it

When I went to Singapore, I brought the make up kit with me. The space was just right for my compact powder, eyeliner, small bottle of contact lens solution, a small tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush with its end sticking out lol

Sherpani Natural Ivy hand bag

Together with my Sherpani Pinot Reversible, I also bought this Sherpani Ivy in Primer Bodega Sale last July 27, 2010.

My Great Acccessory Sale Finds at Robinsons Galleria!

After going around the top two floors, our energy were winding down but we still have two floors to cover. We headed to my favorite fashionista haven, Accessorize. Going through all the fancy, funky and floral prints made me giddy and forgot about how tired I was from all the walking. Wait? Who says I'm tired. I will never get tired of shopping hahaha

Cleaning out my closet

I  took this before shot of my half empty closet. Most of my stuff that I removed were placed on top of my bed.

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.
