A backdated post which should be posted before MISS November 2010 issue.
I must be frank. I did not like the brand item for Spring October 2010 which is a Tsumori Chisato multicase pouch/wallet. Don’t get me wrong. I love Tsumori Chisato. The pouch is made from shinny PVC (I think) in black and yellow polka dots. I think it’s weird. However, as time pass and when I look at the magazine cover again and again everytime I’m at Kinokuniya. . .I decided to buy. Yes. I only decided to buy everytime it’s the last copy available lol. Its not expensive compare with other magazine. I just love how Spring makes their magazine cover “clean” and not over-junked with stuff on it. And as usual. . .the blurp on front cover is so nice and tempting!! Another reason for me to get this is because I actually thought of getting another LeSportsac e-Mook in Black Glitter or maybe another Robin Egg Dot as I love it so much. But its irrelevant to buy another same mook just because you like it and more and more brand item or mook is coming out so I bought this instead. This is selling at RM37.20.
I opened the magazine to check the brand item for flaw after paying and the 2 nice lady at the cashier counter is really helpful. I was surprised that the pouch is actually very big. However it looked weird. It’s not properly aligned inside out. Now I know why most bloggers are saying that brand item from magazine is bad quality compared with mook. This is what they meant.
See. Everything is sewn not in straight.
I remembered reading somewhere saying most japanese magazine or mook buyer love tote bag brand item. To me, I’m not a tote girl. I’m more of a pouch girl. But I don’t buy all the pouch. I normally need to think first what can I put or do with the pouch then only I’ll go and buy. I’m a smart shopper according to Shila LOL. I don’t use tote as my bag to work. And the only tote I use must be chosen and considered if it’s suitable to bring to work as a document bag. I don’t want my CEO or my clients go thinking I’m not suitable for the job. Yes. Appearance is very important in our line.
This is like a love-hate relationship. I wanted to get another one :). I know I know. I’m crazy. Shall think again.
