How true... I finally got hold of a copy of the very limited quantity Elle HK September issue... that came bundled with a lovely... polka dot printed... nylon Agnes b. toiletries pouch...
I missed it last weekend because I dilly dallied and got to Kinokuniya late...
All editions were sold out 15 mins into opening... But the ever efficient and ever so helpful Kino staff told me more would arrive today..
I was there at 10am sharp when Kino opened their doors... But was dismayed to find no copies on the shelves... OMG... did I missed it again???!!!
So once again... I approached the wonderful counter staff and said...
"I missed it... again..."
To which she gave a lovely smile... and pulled out a copy of Elle HK September issue... with the Agnes b. pouch!!!
Apparently... they are limiting only one copy to each customer... unless you brought along friends... you are not going to be able to get/pay for more than one copy...
Sorry Sista CT...
This Agnes b. pouch is one of the best made GWP...
Imo... even surpassing the recent Agnes b. Japanese F/W 2011 mook... which was a tad disappointing...
Stripes and polka dots are featured heavily on clothes and accessories this season for Agnes b. ...
The polka dotted pouch with printed signature b. in gold... holds it's shape well... is nicely sewn... comes with 2 interior pockets...
Perfect for travel... one could easily pack toothbrushes... paste... facial wash and even travel size beauty products and still have room for little knick knacks...
It could also be used as a bag organiser or just on it's own...
Luv luv luv...
It was so worth waking up for...
The magazine itself... is worth it's own weight... literally...
Bundled with Elle Beauty... the magazine features the latest F/W... as well as upcoming trends...
Best of all... it has a 3 page article on my fave Mr Marc Jacobs... Louis Vuitton... fetish inspired F/W 2011 collection...
Another good read is the brief history of luxury house... Gucci....
Well worth the price tag of S$21.40 before Kino member 10% discount...
In comparison... The Marie Claire September issue... GWP... faux python 2 tone clutch... paled in comparison...
At S$14.90 before Kino member 10% discount... I was really just paying for the clutch...
In terms of articles... there wasn't anything interesting to read... the fashion spread were limited... boring... loads of adverts...
The 2 tone clutch which I have been drooling over... was in fact... pretty well made/sewn too... made of vinyl... with a faux python effect and lined with felt... I luv how the 'scales' lined up...
It is very in trend and very Celine in look... plus it is of a substantial size and is sturdy...
My only pet peeves are...
I wished I had the red or grey version... Kino only had it in this color...
The very cheap looking zipper pull...
Wonder if I can get that changed...
Hmm...
