Gelato Pique Japanese Magazine Review: Magazine Spring Magazine

Gelato Pique 3-Pc Set from Spring August 2010

2 weeks ago I bump into an online seller selling all sorts of japanese magazine freebies but without the magazine. I browsed thru her page and all the tote bag is kinda expensive. Towards the end of her page there’s all sorts of pouch which I’ve never seen before. Something caught my eye among all. 3-pc set of Gelato Pique brand item from Spring Magazine August 2010 issue! A set cost only RM15 with FOC Registered Post shipping and I bought 2 sets and upgraded my free shipping to Skynet courier. Even with that my overall spent for 2 sets is even cheaper than buying just a magazine at Kinokuniya. I don’t know why. I love to buy everything double recently. Another reason for me to get 2 sets of these is I want the scrunchie to set curls when I sleep haha.

Gelato Pique set from Spring August 2010 issue. This set of 3-pc comes with a pouch, a matching scrunchie and a matching handkerchief.

The pouch.

Matching scrunchie and handkerchief inside the pouch.

Happy family.

Gelato Pique brand logo on the front of the pouch.

Matching scrunchie. So cute, fluffy and soft. With the brand item logo sewn on it makes the scrunchie look different from normal scrunchie.

Matching handkerchief. It’s very small and feels thin though. Not so sure what I’m gonna do with this haha.

Brand item logo sewn at the corner of the handkerchief. You can actually hook this up using the logo tab.

One thing weird is that the overall yellowish beige colour makes the pouch look old and used. I’ve tried smelling everything *lol* for so long and everything smell new though.

Japanese Magazine Review: Magazine Spring Magazine Tsumori Chisato

SPRING Oct 2010 X Tsumori Chisato Pouch

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.



There’s 2 hook at the back just like LeSportsac pouch to turn into sling bag.

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.
