Carlo Rino bags

[lovely_babe87]

I saw a few girls carrying their bags..and i think look kinda nice.
any cotters own this brand?
i think some people might think their brand is ahma~ish

Hey i find Carlo Rino some design nice too.. I personally own 1 bag from Carlo Rino bought at Malaysia Genting. Singapore outlet don't carry the design i bought. =)

I also have 1 Bonia bag (is leather too). Is not really ahma-ish, i personally feel is how we carry out the bag and the design. =)

honestly, i think both carlo rino and bonia give people the impression that its an ah-ma brand but i think these brands are trying to change their target group and trying to make the designs more fashionable and appealing to younger ladies. i personally, find some of the designs quite nice but i didnt get it cos of the brand. but still, it depends on how you carry the bag. just my 2cent worth

Hi leyna, agreed with what u say.. they are changing n target young mature group.

Like i say earlier on, i am only 27 this yr homemaker to a 2yrs old daughter, friends ard me ask y i buy bonia, i tell them is ok lar as long as i like can ****.. don't need to care what ppl say..

Yup although this 2 brand sound like ahma brand but some of their desgins are quite nice!

I'm kinda interested on one of Bonia wallet which is yellow base flora and it's $88 after 20% discount.

But my friends keep saying that it's ahma

i think for carlo rino, it is not as ahma-ish as bonia. (coming from a personal point of view). i have seen CR bags that are youthful, and youthful meaning, a cleaner less clutter of design. bonia however to me are sorta still quite ahma, maybe it's just the bonia prints and me.

but i'd definitely go for CR. cheap(er), durable and definite a more fitting style.

some CR designs are really nice... i bought 2 of their bags in april 08.

1 small black tote and 1 big red patent tote

i am 19, thus wearing CR makes me feel damnnn damn old. i dunno, but really, CR has the BONIA vibe to me.

Some CR bags are leather, some are not.. U can go to Yishun Northpoint, their boutique to check it out. Michelle Chia n Joanne Peh, they are spokeperson for CR n Bonia. Some range they carry not bad.. prices wise abit ex..

I saw the brand being sold in JB and it seems to me that it's much cheaper there... but can't confirm. I think not all CR designs look good.. depends on the range.

Hi tiff agreed with u, not all CR are nice, it really depend on e range. I bought my CR in genting, is really alot cheaper cos is in RM.. =) N is big n spacious enough for me to dump my stuffs.. =)

i just got a CR big tote bag for work.... and a sling bag for my mum...
i haven't used it yet... hearing that the brand sounds ahma-ish makes me feel... not really looking forward to using it already.... though i bought it coz it was on discount and the design looks nice to me...

i have a colleague who is a malaysian, every time when she wears the carlo rino shoes with the cr word on it, we flip! it's so auntie looking

CR definitely not for me!
