Butter-soft Leather

... was how my friend describe this new pair of shoes I had on. It's so soft because even the insides of the shoe were made of the same leather. My mother said it was perfect for shopping. I told my husband that I'd like to get another one in another color. I know, abuso na.

I'd been meaning to get one for myself but since I am using a Philippine-issued credit card, I can't purchase it online. I requested my Tita to buy this for me during the Memorial Day Sale. Neiman Marcus offered free shipping for this. I told her that I'll pay for it when she gets here in Manila. I rarely ask people to buy me expensive stuff. Nakakahiya. I'd rather pay for it with my own (or my husband's) money.

She arrived last weekend. She handed them to me. She wouldn't accept the payment I handed her. Nakakahiya talaga. But, I am grateful for her generosity. Now, I remember why she's my favorite Tita.

I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
