GUCCI The Bamboo Exhibition

We were just in time to visit the Bamboo Forever exhibition in Singapore

it has been touring round the world from Geneva to Prague to Hong Kong to Taipei

and will leave for Rome then Napoli and lastly Venice

the classic piece dated from 1947

bamboo collection started when bag designer had to think of a way to create a beautiful bag during times of WAR esp when they are out of many types of raw materials

*see ppl are so fashionable...during war still must put FASHION in priority :P*

**Italians are really passionate* 

at the same time, they need to maintain the high standards of GUCCI and its identity + exclusivity

today Bamboo collections is really an ICON

 

the bamboo handle were made by softening it with a fire flame

then curved into a U shape

and today the New Bamboo from Spring 2010 coll

with additional....errrr....too many stuffs *just like a Xmas tree* I still prefer the old classic one

and my favourite piece fr 1960

so GORGEOUS!!!!

dun think u think so????

everyone and every brand is re-tracing their roots and heritage

so folks, dun throw/give away ur vintage pieces

they'll definitely make a comeback!!!!!

Finally.........my Personal Assistant is here

Last Saturday, JS woke up with a headache and rushed to 7-11 down the road to get some paracetamol
Monkey was still zzzzzzzz-zinking in the room with Berr
and in the midst of all the headache-ness he saw the iPad in the windows of his favourite Canon shop

not just any usual iPad
but the one we wanted
64GB with wi fi and 3G
*it's out of stock worlwide and we kinda waited for it like for the past months*
**now we know where all the stocks gone to.......Singapore**

soon the 3 of us dashed up
got ready and were already at the shop at Lucky Plaza

iPad iPad iPad iPad
which was my Object of Desire 004 back in April
*click here to read*

and to care and maintain the lovely iPad
we got the original iPad case made fr this special material

to prevent scratches

the rest of the Saturday was all about the iPad
and more shopping for its accessories fr camera kit to its other peripherals
Monkey: "Oh wait maybe I should get another case to take care of this iPad case"
JS -_-" sigh

Monkey dashed fr boutiques to boutiques to check on all the iPad covers in the market
Louis Vuitton monogram iPad covers are not available yet
while the GUCCI's one....so gucci lor...boring

I need something funky to go with this funky gadget!!!
and voila!!! Marc JACOBS!!!!

off topic:

errrrr Nee Lee ar, buying an iPad case does not consider as buying a bag rite?
so I'm still holding on to my zero handbag policy this month
yea yea yea.....!!!!!
Readers pray for me for my handbag addiction....no handbags this month!!!!
I almost....ter-almost got a Miu Miu limited edition BYO bag last week!!! GAH!!!!!!
TQ to JS for holding/supporting me on...while I was holding onto the bag, unwilling to let it go to the horror of the sales assistant

Monkey trying to smile fr ear to ear like this gal
but she's frowning!!!!

*it's actually a macbook 13" case
coz I do LOOK like Marc Jacobs gal most of the time when I'm disappointed!!!

Last nite me and JS were fighting over some flight simulation game

:P yes we are childish!!!!

in case u r wondering,
JS copied me and bought the same Marc Jacobs bag!!!!
and Monkey had to compensate by adding a keyring into my bag
so we can differentiate who's who and who what

in the end JS bought Monkey a Bottega Veneta Keyring
:)))))))))))))))
*dun forget it's the Great Sales in Singapore!!! wooohooooo!!!!*

Dear all Msian friends,

Object of Desire 0003

a special hybrid of orchid
called Paravanda Frida
exclusively created for Frida Gianini by Singapore Tourism Board Botanic Garden

attention to the leather applique boston bag
with the leather 3D orchids on it....*the other 2 can move aside*

OMFG!!!!! I've not crave for a GUCCI ever since Tom Ford left the brand
and I was so honored to see this piece in person
*by the way GUCCI's 5 storey flagship store in Paragon Singapore just opened 3 days ago by Frida Gianini herself*

anyway back to the orchid boston bag...
I wanted to buy it.....

until this Monkey realised it's SUPER LIMITED CAN DIE

Shopping in Melbourne's CBD

the sky looked so threatening on that Saturday
gloomy and windy
we were in town as early as 11am...
:P
after our vietnamese breakfast at Footscray
Footscray is a vietnamese town
JS: "wat??? wat did u say???"
Monkey: "Let' start S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G"
Monkey & I Ching
the ladies were so happy when it comes to shopping
we woke up early...got dressed coz it's SHOPPING DAY!!!!
While this one was particular unhappy coz he knows
he'll be "sui yee" of the day..

Prince C challenged all of us on that day...
that whoever that spends the least money is the winner!!!
Prince C & I Ching
with the horsie on the background
nope no time to ride horsie...
must treasure every moment coz we only have a day to do shopping in Collins Street.
Collins Street
in the end...
Prince C ended up as the loser buying 2 Chanel + 1 Gucci
I Ching ended up with a Chanel
Monkey with a Prada and ohohoh Georg Jensen too!!!!

Georg Jensen 3 arms spin bowl/dishes

it came with a white silicon dish inside which was removable
I bought 2 of these...and brought back one
