Louis Vuitton Tivoli Bag

I got mine Louis Vuitton Tivoli Bag~ an it is Authentic!

But it is not 100% mine.

It is actually my mum's bag. She brought 3 Louis Vuitton bags when she visit my brother at UK. I am not sure why she brought 3, we interperate she is buying for us (me and sister), that why she buy 3. I curi one back to KL and my sister curi one back to Singapore. Haha~! Bad daugthers~! But she can't use so many at one time.

Buying Louis Vuitton bags especially at Paris is cheap then Malaysia. You can save hundreds and even thousands ringgit. Plus you have 12% tax rebate if you brought from Paris.

She brought:

monogram carvas Montorgueil PM

monogram carvas Speedy 30

damier canvas Bloomsburg PM

Last weekend, it was my first visit to Louis Vuitton shop at KLCC. I dare not enter those shops at Ground floor at KLCC as mostly they are branded. I manage to ecxchange damier canvas Bloomsburg PM to Tivoli PM.

When I enter the shop, no one seems to entertain me. After a few attempts someone finally talk to me.

The sale person will carefully examine the bag to make sure it is brand new and it is in perfect condition for exchange. The sling bag buckle has a slight streach mark on the leather sling bag and he refuse to do an exchange for me. I quickly phone and mum and let her talk to the sale person. Then the debating came. But after my mum complain, they actually let me exchange.

I was aiming a damier canvas neverfull and my mum ask me to buy another one for her friend. In LV shops, they do not allow customer to buy the same item for 2 piece.

Neverfull PM (small) looks perfect for my height, neverfull MM (medium) looks abit big but still acceptable. Neverfull GM (big) is way too big. After some trying, I still feel monogram carvas looks nicer and younger.

Later TS spot this Tivoli PM and ask me to try on. I was aiming that at the LV website, but its around 6 Euro and I thought it was too expensive. The sales girl told me the Tivoli is RM3850 and my Bloomsburg PM RM3400. Just top up another RM450 to get that bag. The sales girl claim that I get Tivoli rather then Neverfull as too many people is taking Neverfull. A few minutes of thinking, I just brought that. Gosh~~ I don't know why I just spend RM450 for that bag.

I really like the pattern, design of the bag. See somemore details on the bag on the zip.

Bag photography session

A friend offer me a photography shots on my bags~ I happily agreed. On a Sunday morning, my friend reach my house when I was still in bed. Drag myself out of the bed and we started our photography session.

We started to take photographs on the bag in my house. But it doesn't turn out to be too nice as my house is too small and pack with things. We ended up taking picture on the corridor outside my unit. It turn out to be beautiful with the morning natural lighting's. I didn't put any make up and wearing specs and I insist my friend to just take picture of my bag but not a my head. So most of these pictures are without head~ Even with just a body the bag looks nicer then just taking picture of the bag itself.

This is my favorite picture among the others.

This was the only picture my friend took indoor which is nice, because my doll was part of the picture :)

Some real picture of the bags~ They are beautiful and identical to the advertisement pictures

Too bad I didn't have any handmade bags for him to take photo.

Some other good shots taken from my friend. I am bad in standing for photography, I always stand like a tree and it makes me not natural. He manage to take some photos when I was doing something and it appears to be more natural.

Here is me standing like a dull tree.....

You can adopt some of these bags at Poupee Collection . Come and have a look~~

Finally the bags were out

Finally, I manage to snap pictures on some of the bags that I made a few weeks back.

This is one of the bag I love the most. It looks so elegant taking it around. I used zakka light brown fabric with dark blue handles for this hand carry bag. I have added a bow with a pearl in front of the bag. I decorated this bag with chains wondering around with dragonfly and butterfly following with a hand stamped fabric ink note of "nuts about you" message (from hero arts stamps that I brought) on the bag.



Another on of my favorite. This Beautiful motif of trees around the bag with deers and rabbit wondering around the trees got my attention when purchasing this fabric. I didn't really care how the fabric pattern was cut. And it ended up 2 side are in different portions of the fabric. But it is still something special as 2 sides are different and you can change anyside that you like anytime.

Some eco-shopping bag that I have made. Now everywhere is promoting to get your own shopping bag rather using plastic bags. It's time to save the planet....

This eco tote bag I handpaint with aryclic colors which consist an elephants, a bird & a cloud. The message "happy time" is drawn using a fabric marker. This is my first time drawing in fabrics and it was kinda fun. It reminds me those days when we attend art class at schools.

I have cut and sew a polka dot fabric for the elephants ear. Looks more 3D look.....

This was the first bag I learn how to sew a eco tote bag. When I start sewing, it really makes me a headache, but it become more and more easy when I start sewing more and more.

If you like them, you can purchase them at my shop.

Granny reversable bag

Something I made before I went to Bangkok. Granny reversable bag. I always love the shape of this bag. The background luggage was brought at Jatujak Bangkok which I mention earlier. I used light brown zakka color with small flowers fabric and sweet pink polka dots fabric for the other side. I feel satisfy, glad and happy I manage sew this bag.

Planning to sew more in the coming weekend~~

Bag maddness

I love bags, more that I love clothes.

When to take stock last weekend. Ended up buy more for myself.

For my first sight, I was in love with this bag. I choose the black color for this bag. It looks elegant but due to my poor camera quality, it looks not that nice. Was a hot item on the our shop and customer loves light pink and the white one the most. There is a sling belt stripe to allow me to use as a sling bag.


Another bag that I brought was this small cratch. White color. Wao~~ it is just very suitable for dinner or even wedding. I don't have this kind of dinner bag, so I grab one. This bag is very worth as it can be use as 3 use. The metal round handle can be remove and it will act as a cratch. With the metal round handle it will be a handbag. And there is a metal stripes for sling bag purpose. Available colors: black, white, sliver, copper.


Got this sling bag- pink color Adidas one too. Just love the colors. I'm taking it to work today.


This was the one suppose to be a present for my sister graduation, but ended up letting it go for the shop because the ready stock was sold for the first day.


Anyone interested, can visit the shop, or drop me a comment.

Finally Rootote Came

Finally I got my rootote bags that I order last last month.



Don't be surprise, not all bags are mine, Only the poodle one is mine. Others are my friends one.

I love the owl one alot too, but when I give to TS to look, he loves the line one. Really different people have different prespective. The line one, I ordered 2 for 2 of my different friends.

The quality of the Rootote bags are quite good, fabric is thick enough. But just felt missing abit, because lack of zip on the main entrance.

Overall very satisfy

Handmade Eco friendly bags

Everyone where is just introducing Eco friendly bags to replace the usage of plastic bags. You can find a lot of department store such as Isetan, Jusco selling these bags.

Why not make yourself one. I did this from my sewing machine. Take tons of hours to do it. Because I have very little experience in sewing. But eventually it looks great. And there is a problem in the middle where I insert the wrong needle and the string keep on breaking. Sigh~

This shopping bag is a smaller version, not those you see on department store. It is quite similar to Roo-shopper bags. A plastic bag made by fabric. I was just do it for a testing. So I did a small one with brown pattern fabric in front and pink lining inside.



Although it is not perfect, but it was satisfying.

handmade gift for you
The worst swap I ever recieve. I don't like this at all. The so call "dotee doll" she made I do not like. And the felt coin purse doesn't look that good.


Such a long post for swaps, I guess I have made too much swap these month. One thing I learn from the swaps are do QUALITY swaps rather the QUANTITY swaps. Some swap are not recieving what you like. Some swaps are flakes. Like the I Want Coinpurse Swap, I have 2 flake among 3 swaps. Flakes out there, you will receive bad karma on cheating like this.
