IN A RELATIONSHIP

With Céline. Thats how my Facebook status should read. I profess my love for the brand and yes, I would give up my kidneys, lungs and heart for the Mini Luggage. This was taken in Mitsukoshi Ginza by my Fashion Fairy Godmother, Penny (I wuv you!), who makes all my designer bag obsessions come true!! =) She manages to locate all the really-hard-to-find ones. Its unaccessible online at all the usual luxury sites, and last time she asked her SA in Printemps, it was unavailable. Buuut apparently, they have deep stock in Japan! I. Love. Eeeet!!!!

Just so you know how fast they go, the green Micro Shopper (middle bag) was sold out the next day after this photo was taken. Boohoo.

I'm waiting on Penny's buyer to bring me news from Paris(?) on the availability of the tri-color one on the topmost, but in mini size.

Sa kaka discuss namin ng Celine Mini Luggage, we've somehow become semi-experts on it na. Haha. It comes in 5 sizes:

Hello baby. I love it because its so understated that only people in the know recognize it. I mean, its not blatantly screaming designer logos, Celine stamp is so small and in cracked gold foil pa. Its become recognizably iconic because of its boxy shape and curved squiggle. And I have to say, craftsmanship is IMPECCABLE.

Last year I've only seen Malou Pineda of Rockwell carrying it. And I swear I. died. Honestly, I've been lusting over this bag since last year!! The brother, the boyfriend, and even my EIC knows it!!

But this year, I've spotted two already in the Rajo + Plains and Prints event:

And this one random girl in Power Plant who was carrying the all black one. If the boyf didn't stop me, I would have gone up to her and say that I really appreciate her taste. =)

Anywayz, can't wait to take the new baby out for a spin.

Tootles.
