Giving in to temptation
OMG. What have I done?
I just spent $278 on a leather bag! And a brand-less one at that. Oh no! But it was so pretty, I couldn't resist.
I've been looking for a nice leather bag for ages, but was kinda reluctant to drop top dollar on a Coach or LV (I don't think I deserve one yet).
So when I saw this baby, it was love at first sight. It's in a lovely neutral shade of grey, made of calf leather, (the top bit is suede i think), comes with an adjustable sling strap and it smelllssss so goooooooooood.
The lady at the shop told me the bag was specially produced at their own factory in Korea and they've only made one piece, so I could be sure I was the only gal in town with that bag. But I should proclaim, as a firm believer of the economies of scale, I am pretty certain that what she told me is utter bollocks.
Anyway, she didn't have to try so hard to make the sale, coz I've already made up my mind to get it. As i said, it was love at first sight (or sniff. whatever)
In my defence, I'm gifting this to myself as an early b-day present. After working so hard, I think i deserve a little something pretty for myself, right? (You're supposed to say "Yes" right about now)
Here's my new pride and glory (the photo really doesn't do it justice)
Let's hope it will last long and will not disintegrate after a month. If it does, there will be hell to pay.
