Gallieria I love the colour! So energetic!

By the way, I went to Paragon Miu Miu days ago. How come no more bags on sale??? Where can I find Miu Miu bags on sale in Singapore other than paragon? I was so so so disappointed when I saw all the bags were gone....

Girls, i need help. I cannot decide if I should buy LV or Prada or Miu Miu.

for Miu Miu, i saw this particular design where u can handcarry, sling or shoulder .... its like play with the chain. I think the name is Lux shopper?

which one is more durable in the long run? Miu or LV ? does Lux shopper requires special care and does it go on sales in sg or its like classics design so fixed price? Thanks

Girls, i'm aiming for miu miu coffer in black but i'm wondering what are the various finishing? Is there matt leather? What leather it is? Is there lambskin or calfskin and is the leather durable? I'm worried about it peeling with time..

Does coffer go on sale? What is a reasonable price to pay?

my sis has one n black lambskin with matte gold hw. she uses it regularly in fact almost every other day and her bag is still in good condition and for almost 2 years since end 07. you can consider this, if they still have it and will not go out of style. she doesn't use any conditioner on her bag and it still feels as soft.

As much as I like Miu miu's bags, I really don't think they are as long lasting as LV's canvas (depends on which LV range you are refering to also) My charm bag has some areas which are peeling because of abrasion when I sling it on my shoulder. I think some gals also did mention about their bags turning mouldy due to our humid weather.

Prada's leather bags are pricer compared to Miu Miu's as well.

Do you have a picture of the bag you wish to buy? I'm sure the gals here would be able to tell you if it has ever gone on sale

pics taken from ebay

This is the one but i saw red at Paragon. Not sure of the exact name of the color n if this is lux shopper? no idea abt the sizes too. does this design comes in several colors or just one?

the one i saw is red with slightly shiny leather...... looks pretty good but at that time i thought pink is more suitable for me... but after some thoughts, i feel that red is more unique... will red be on going color or its like seasonal color? i was told its $1800+ in SG but i have no idea if thats the disc price or the usual price (classic design)......... any idea? hows the price in Paris? Easy to find red? and i think there's few types of leather for this design too? Wow while typing, i already feel tough to describe the bag to friend helping me with the purchase....

i am thinking of LV Tivoli PM and this design.......... either i get one or I get this design on Dec or what if there's sales in Europe... no hurry at all. but i really cannot take care of leather things because they turn mouldy once they are not in use. my leather shoes etc that i rarely wear all have moulds etc even after i send in for professional cleaning. i wonder if the material is more shiny = easier maintenance

Thanks

This is the Vitello Lux Model No. RT0383.It comes in different colors for different seasons.

Although there are many people who claimed that leather bags aged beautifully...it's true only if you really take good care of it. Clean and condition it regularly and protect it from scratches.

I personally feel that LV's damier canvas range is very durable and no vachetta, like the monogram canvas range to worry about.

ITA with the having to take care part...
But if you love the smooshy leather feel...the leather smell...etc... then its just a trade off I guess.

IIRC, there are 2 sizes for this bag. And colours are seasonal. The one you posted is the smaller one. This is the larger one

http://www.laurenhills.com/miumiu/mb236.html

I remembered it being on sale in US before. The larger one I have seen it go on sale in SG. But of course its going to be selected colours only. Red should be seasonal. So if you are already set on a colour, you either buy it now or take the risk and see if goes on sale later on.

If taking care of the leather bag is your major concern, think the Tivoli is a more fuss free choice.
