The Next "IT" Bag; Incognito Bag

His designs and fragrance always turn me on. From texture, lines, colour palette or heavenly scents he know how to play it well. Yes. I'm a fan of Marc Jacobs's artwork from his glorious days with and left Louis Vuitton. The difference between MJ with LV or MJ with his own brand is the pure essence of Luxe and Street Chic. I still remember the first debut of the quirky Stam Bag. It was a big buzz by fashionistas around the world and MJ's Stam Bag become an Icon since then.  Recently, Marc Jacobs announced their latest handbags collection for Fall/Winter 2014 and welcoming the new IT bag; Incognito Bag. This beautiful bag appear in structured shape, more refined details with elegant clean lines. Based what I observed, I do believe Incognito will be in the iconic bag list. It looks classic but with a splash of modern silhouette and shiny hardware give it more an updated feel.

 

 

Reported that the name of Incognito pays homage to the understated effortlessness of the women that Marc himself admires. This beauty made by hand in Italian Factory by well-trained MJ's artisans. The bag have an extra wide opening it gives a spacious interior for your personal stuffs. While Incognito zip top closure and the sleek palladium hardware become an initial to the bag. Comes in calf and exotic leather. For those who always on the go but want to stay in style; a removable shoulder strap included. Simply easy and très chic! Incognito is the perfect bag for modern women.

2553, Not Just a Number

There's a time I would like to be away from high end brands and luxurious things  and search via internet new brands from young talents. Yes. As we know, well-established brands has their own signature touch and marketing targets. It may come with "a price." But not all can afford to purchase that kind of price tag for a bag; especially the teens. Buying fashion through online is a big trend of today's world. It's more convenient and cheap.  

In my teen days, it's quite hard to find a good essentials with affordable price. I still remember the first time purchased my own duffle bag in leather-embroidered with the "it" branded logo. It was very expensive for my age. I've challenged myself and succeed. It takes months to save up for the bag. I'm glad after 15 years I pass it on to my young brother as his gym bag. It was a joyful feeling to see the bag still in an excellent condition.

Recently, while I surfing my Instagram I accidently found 2553. 2553 is a designer brand from Thailand by young Thai talent. I did try to search further information about this brand. Sadly, there was no website to refer but 2553 do have Twitter, Facebook and Instagram account. Based from their information 2553 have booth branch in Kuala Lumpur at PUBLIKA. For those who are interested you can purchase 2553 bags through their Facebook page facebook.com/2553malaysia or contact LINE username 2553my and wechat username malaysia2553.

Most of 2553 bags are handmade and cater the best for their customers. 2553 production were very limited, per design is using high grade artificial leather. Through my observation 2553 suitable for young trendy circle in age of 18 to 30 and above. From their duffle bag, clutch, messager bag, tote, chestbag and briefcase really catch your attention. The sleek shape blend with sporty worth to have it in your closet. Little splash of bright neon or play camouflage can be interesting as your work, gym or travel bag. Don't worry most 2553 collection are unisex, durable and eco-friendly. Plus, it's affordable. I, myself want to purchase their briefcase, duffle and tote bag to add on my bag collection.

Snow Illusion by Dior

Recently, I managed to watch Dior Homme Winter 2014 show through DiorTV. Although, I'm late at least I managed to update myself rather not knowing a thing what's latest in fashion world. It was an excellent collection and I love the polka dot elements on the bags, suits and shoes. It really give a pinch of reminder "get ready" Christmas is nearly approaching. Dior never failed to impress me with their simplicity yet modern style. I wish my body thin like a Dior's Model I will gladly to purchase or wear a complete suits from Dior. The only thing I really hope that Dior will able to create more accessories and bags selection. I'm sure the "hardcore" collector will love it.

 

As we knew, Dior bag famous with their iconic quilted Lady Dior bag for the ladies. I still remember in my age of 8 or 9, Christian Dior were one of my favourite brands and I admire the femininity in each of Dior's design especially Lady D wore it. Dior and Lady Diana equal beautiful combo. The beautiful midnight blue dress with black lace detailing and Lady D carry her favourite Dior bag at The MET Gala. Since then the bag become an iconic bag for Dior and remembrance about The Late Princess Diana.

 

In this particular blog, I pick Dior bag as my topic and share thoughts to you. After I watched the Dior Homme show there two bag that catch my attention. The Briefcase or Document Holder and The Clutch or Portfolio in black leather with polka dots. Quite funny I thought that Dior come out with printed polka dots on their bag collection. I do my homework to confirm that part and I found out the leather were embroidered white polka dots. From far, it looks like small dots of snow. Beautiful illusion. That small details really makes it unique.

 

The Briefcase suitable for those who love simplicity and something different. The bag beautiful in black calfskin leather with white embroidered polka dots. The structure of the bag practical for daily use or business trip. It come with inner zipped pocket and flag pocket for personal your things. It has two flat outer compartments and adjustable leather shoulder strap. Simply a great carrier for young and stylish executive or businessman. The Portfolio in the same material with an inside zipped pocket and inside compartment. It has own three pockets for your personal things and add it with card compartment. Simply an excellent carrier for blogger and fashionisto. I'm thinking to get this beautiful masterpiece from Dior for my Christmas look. For further information about the bags; Do visit Dior website at www.dior.com or your nearest Dior Boutique.
