Gucci Indy Top Handle Bag - A Must-Have!

Gucci Indy Top Handle Bag


The Indy featured above is from Gucci's Spring/Summer 07 collection. It comes in Red Python with Red Suede trims and silver hardware. It is a top handle bag that comes with a detachable strap, engraved gucci script logo, tassels with bamboo details, inside zip pocket and a cell phone pocket. It measures 18.9"L x 5.5"W x 13"H and is one of the most sellable items from Gucci. From the date of purchase of the bag, there is a wait period of 3 weeks for it if you're buying it from Gucci Online... and seriously, it's gonna be so darn miserable to wait for a bag as fabulous as the Indy.. And what's more, as Bagaholic Babe has mentioned in one of the previous posts, Red is the New Black. So doesn't this just make it oh so perfect? =D

Fendi's Spring-Summer Collection for 2007 has been unveiled!

You can start Pre-Ordering these bags now, from Saks Fifth Avenue .

Here's a glimpse of what's in store for Fendi's Spring/Summer Collection 2007.



Fendi Denim Spy Bag

Ahhhh one of the most coveted 'It' bags since it was introduced. Since its introduction in 2005, the 'Spy' range has been seen in many different textures and fabrics -- Fendi's Signature Zucca Jacquard fabric, in Metallics such as Gold, pebbled leather, embroidered, beaded, sequinned, exotic skins such as Python, Denim, etc. So, if you haven't yet got a chance to get your hands on a 'Spy', now's the time to do so! And, it's Denim, which means it's less costly!! ;)

And..Here's a variation of yet another iconic range of bags from Fendi -- the hobo 'B' bag is the newest addition to the 'B' Bag family!

Fendi Canvas 'B' Bag in Brown

With its double 'B' buckles, This is perhaps the most familiar style and design of the 'B' bag. The bag featured above is made of textured fabric, with leather piping and straw accents on the 'B' Buckles for that ethnic, tribal feel.

Designed by Fendi's Artistic/Creative Director, Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi's 'B' Bag range needs no introduction at all! With its 'B' Buckle, Fendi has found itself yet another winner as all 'B' bags (whether with a single 'B' buckle or double 'B' buckles) have been immortalised as 'It' Bags since its introduction!

First the 'Spy' and now the 'B' Bags. Karl Lagerfeld certainly has a knack for creating trends, don't you think?!

As the saying goes, Fashion follows trends, but GREAT fashion creates trends!
Hurry, Pre-order your Fendi today!

Updates!! -- Prada Cruise/Resort Collection 2007

I went to the Prada Boutique at KLCC (Malaysia) today, and enquired about the new Cruise/Resort Collection that I posted about earlier in the week.

According to the sales assistants at Prada, all the Tessuto Gauffre bags from the Cruise/Resort Collection 2007 will only be arriving in January next year (earliest) because they're supposed to be launched only in Spring-Summer 2007. And...What's more is that all the Tessuto Gauffre bags in every size is waitlisted!! Although they have the small Tessuto Gauffre bags on their storefront window display, the bags are there so that customers can pre-order!

And sorry peeps, but Malaysia won't be carrying all the colours that I mentioned in my last post. We'll only be getting colours such as the Midnight Blue and Green. The other sizes will have it in Red as well...Probably for Chinese New Year?! Ah well. *shrugs* Boo-Hoo.. no pretty candy colours like Fuschia, Orange, Yellow, etc. like they have in Hong Kong. Also, there's no waitlist for the bags in Hong Kong, and it has already been launched there! I guess it's because they're more fashion forward than us Malaysians. *Sigh*
