My Bags Obsessions

 *Edit* This is post was initially written while I was on bed rest and was abandon later cause I am not able to type much while lying down.

Since I'm bored at home, decided to do a post on my current collection of bags. Not super branded or anything but they are all my precious.

Haha Since most are brought with my hard earned monies.

Took some time to search for the pictures as most are old models. Didn't managed to get all the names though. But at least gave me something to pass time.

1). Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM

I gave mummy this bag as an alternative to buy should she failed to buy my 1st choice during her Europe trip and end up she brought 2 and 1 more clutch as a gift for me. Faints.

But this was really much cheaper to buy in Paris than SG and even mummy jumped on the bandwagon and purchase 2 bags for herself.

Anyways Neverfull really live up to its name. Haha No matter how much stuff you put in, it's never full!

The handles look kinda of thin so I don't really dare to carry heavy stuff but it's spacious enough for me to throw in my usual stuff plus a book and cardigan. Not many bag can accommodate so much rubbish.

Also, I love the material of the bag. Literally maintenance free. After a good 5 years, the shape is still there though there are minor signs of usage near handles and top of bag.

2). Louis Vuitton Seleya PM

This is my 1st choice on the list and reason I didn't go for the MM version is due to weight. The MM version is quite heavy and the shape doesn't look as nice as Neverfull MM.

Extra weight came from the zip, thicker handles and also thicker inner material of felt used as inner linings. Again literally no maintenance is need for the bag and even more so since I don't use it often.

Bag is elegant enough for dinner functions when you need more space to store your stuff.

3). Louis Vuitton Eva Clutch

This is a gift form mummy since it was not in my shopping list to her and I had no idea why she thinks I need a dinner bag since I seldom attend functions.

Anyways I accepted it happily but it was used even lesser than Seleya.

But usually it is good enough to throw in my hp, a pack of tissue, a power bank plus cable, keys, some cash and card and occasionally eye shadow box. 

The Long strap can be used during a causal day out but I am not someone to bring little stuff out on a normal day so I never try this look before.

  This is the end of my Louis Vuitton collection though I have some other models in mind to buy. But mummy is not going to Europe any time soon and I just cannot bear to buy from local boutique. So shall wait for the chance to arise.

4). Kate Spade Sophie Noel Tote

Got this from an online seller who brings in bags from US outlet directly. This bag is super roomy and I used to carry it for night classes where I can dump in my stuff and notes without much trouble.

Only drawback is the cowhide handles which were pretty heavy and stiff. It adds much weight to this otherwise relatively light bag.

And I love this colour combination as it goes with any outfit. Kate Spade did have quite a number of different fabric designs for this bag and I find this suits me the best.

5). Kate Spade New York Emily

Once, we were having dinner at a coffe shop in Bukit Timah and I saw a lady carrying this bag. Fell in love with the causal design of it. 

Then I came across this for sale again from an online seller. Haha those days it was pretty common to bring in Kate Spade Or Coach Bags from US since it costs only a fraction as compared to local boutique price and you get more variety. 

Only difference is, they are mostly off season bags but it does not affect me much. Every bag will go off season isn't it? I'm not a trend setter and therefore couldn't care much on which season the bag is.

The is again a roomy bag usually good enough for my stuff and a book. It's light weighted and therefore easy for hand carry. Only thing is the handles are too short for me to carry it like a shoulder bag. Blame it on my thick arms.

6). Coach Zoe Hobo


This is actually 1 of my favourite design from Coach but by the time I became aware of it, it's wayyyy past it's prime and I had difficulty locating it to buy. Only managed to get my hands on this and I treasured it a lot.

It can be used as a cross body or hobo. I usually used as hobo for work purposes but I reckon if I need to hold more things during overseas holiday, can also use as cross body though it might be a tad too big.

7). Coach Cross body bags

I totally adore these 2 cross body bags from Coach and it's my to bring when I travel. Reason being, I can slot in 2 passports and 1 small pouch in the zipper compartment, keep my valuables closed to me and also hand phone at the outer slot and sometimes extra battery or tissue and other whats not.

Coach Pink Crossbody

Usually I will have another bigger bag to throw in my other necessities like water bottle, umbrella, story book etc. But I don't feel safe in keep the importantly documents in such a big bag so I would use a cross body and keep them close to me.

Coach Brown Crossbody

8). Coach Peyton Black & White Signature Jordan Double Zip Carryall 


This is Piggy bro's gift to me for my 30th birthday. He got a set of it including a wristlet and lanyard from US outlet for me.

But I'm not too impressed by the design and find it too Auntified. This was chosen by my mummy and she did not heed the advice of her tour mates telling her that I would not like this bag. She kept thinking how practical this bag would be for me only.

Nearly vomit blood. Nonetheless, I still carry it sometimes since I rotate my bags and it would be such a waste to leave it in storage since it was lug back all the way from the US.

9. Coach Gathered Leather Convertible Hobo


I screen shot this bag design and got mummy to buy back from US for me during her trip. It was a spacious hobo and had a sling which I foresee I could use to replace my small sling bags next time during overseas trip since need to take in 2 more passports and a lot of whats not with the Dinos with us.

The bag is also pretty light which adds another plus point to the bag.

10). Coach Borough Medium in Red

I was eyeing this bag for the longest time when it got launch. Mummy keep insisting that it looks similar to the carryall she chose for me but this looks way more chic than that to me.

Mr Love offered to buy me a bag when he got his annual bonus in Mar 16 and I came across a post that sells this for a fraction of the retail price since the owner finds it too bulky. I love bulky bags!

Turns out that bag was not used at all! All the tags and packaging are still intact. And I wonder why some woman just buy bags on impulse and not use it even once.

Anyway her lost is my gain.


I love how corporate looking this bag is and also the various compartments it have to store my craps.

Also this is the first red bag I've got. My usual preferred choice will be black if not dark colours one.

11). Coach Mini Borough 

I am not a fan of mini bags for usually I carry a great deal of things when going out. But for some reason I like Borough enough to buy the mini version.

True to it's name, its really small and unable to fit in much of my things.

So I only bring it out for special occasion or to overseas to when I am not bringing a wallet. Luckily it has 3 compartments and can still fit in passports, my bulky handphone etc.

Brought it to Taiwan in 2016

12). Coach Turnlock Borough in White


My love for Borough bag didn't stop here. Back when I am under bed rest and surfing the net all day long, I cam across a Carousell ad selling this bag.

In a bid to cheer myself up, I arrange to buy from the seller by transferring funds to her account and getting her to send the item by Singpost parcel delivery. Damn win right? Can still shop while on bed rest order.

And I cannot use the bag for the next 7months since I will be on bed rest and then maternity leave. Haha

But this purchase really did cheer me up from the gloomy IC news.

This bag is similar size to my Red Medium one but is with 2 zipper compartments and 1 big middle compartment with a magnetic bucket.

The zipper compartment have a lock by the side where you can lock it when not in use.

13). Miu Miu Coffer

This is 1 of my favourite bag of all. Favourite colour and design.

It was also the most expensive one and I took quite a while to save before taking the plunge to purchase it.

The bag structure is super solid and feminine looking.

The only draw back is this colour bag would somehow get spots on it due to our humid weather. No matter how much I took care of it, I still got the spots on the flap.

I still used it time to time but not as often as the spots make it look old. Was thinking of colouing it black but it defeats the initial intention to buy in this colour.

Oh well.

Miu Miu Pink Coffer

14). Miu Miu Bow Bag


Another of my favourite bag that I nearly got another one in blue.

This is a very spacious bag, good for work and leisure.

For the many designs of Miu Miu, these 2 are the ones that caught my eyes and the sense of accomplishment when I am finally able to buy it makes me feel real good. I have since try not to follow Miu Miu's new design as their bags really cause a big dent in my bank account.

Also, their leather bag are not really suitable for everyday use. It gets worn out easily and spoiling the look. Even when I used to rotate my bags biweekly, the Miu Miu bags still show signs of wear and tear which pains me since they are the most expensive of the lots.

15). Longchamp Le Pliage series

This is a very common bag in SG. You see OLs carrying it, students using it etc.

The bag is spacious though with no structure and the foldable function as it's main selling point.

I remembered buying 2 knockoff in HK back in 2008 and I didn't even know it is Longchamp.

Just found the bag to be super useful and spacious. Got the biggest size 1 at 10SGD each and I will still bring it along for hand carrying food stuff back home when I travel.

Lilac Small Longchamp with long handle

For the real deal, I have like 2 medium short handle -  Black which is my 1st Longchamp bag that my brother's ex GF help buy back from Japan and a Beige one which Mr Love got his colleague to buy from Paris during a sale.

I also have 2 small long handle 1. Lilac is the one Mr Love brought for me when he went on to Seoul on a company trip and a blue one that Part time Bf helped to buy in Paris and Mr Love paid for it as my 2016 Mother's Day Gift.

I also have a Large long handle that I used to carry it on days I go for my Zumba classes or back when I am studying part time.

It was a very durable bag that for so many years of abusive usage i.e Dumping in tons of stuff to lug around, the bag still serves me well  now.

16). Crumpler Backpack Yee Ross

I am not exactly a back pack person but when I travel, I actually prefer to carry my stuff with a backpack.

Yee Ross is not exactly spacious but it can fit in my basic necessities like umbrella, water bottle, book, extra batteries etc when I travel and it is sufficient for me to go. Not to heavy and bulky and yet can leave my hands free for shopping. Haha

So this bag has been with me to quite a lot of trips.

17). Lapalette

I first saw this brand in SG where they used to have a shop in Suntec City and later I realised this is a Korean brand though it sounds European to me.

So when we travel to Korea in 2015, I made it a point to visit their flagship store in Meyong Dong and brought this design. It was near 300bucks after tax rebate. Not exactly cheap.

The bag has limited space though but is good enough for day to day use.

18). Chloe Medium Satchel in Royal Navy


And so after Miu Miu, I came to like Chloe design. Brought the bag this year to celebrate my 1 year of motherhood. Haha Actually it's an excuse to get a new bag.

I love how this bag can be shoulder carry, hand carry or sling across.

Its big enough to fit in what I want yet small enough to carry as a hand bag.

Think this will be my new sling bag when I get to travel with the Dinos since I will have more things to safe keep now with the 2 boys.

My latest bag

This basically sums up most of my bags. With the Dinos here now, I think most of my wish list is not attainable at least til they are much older. But it's ok, at least I once had the chance to buy what I liked then.
