Best Coach and Tumi backpacks to date, on great sale prices!

Coach and Tumi backpacks have proven to be very well crafted and excellent pieces . And they have gone on exceptional sale prices, something definitely worthy to catch! Coach has new upbeat and playful styles and colors . And the color range is very extensive from dark and subdued colors fitting for both the office and vacation trips. To light and happy colors great for relaxed moods and weekends jaunts. There are solid colors in full leather, and more playful mixes of leather and canvas in different styles and shades. The newer releases are on offer with a 10% discount, while the earlier season styles and colors are on a 40% discount. These are very sizable reduction! If you had the chance to catch it like I did, they were giving away an additional 10% discount on top of the 40%. So the regular price of SGD 1,100 came out at S$ 594! The earlier season model has a zipper on the side for easy access to the main compartment . Something to be aware of, to make sur...

Where to Buy my Luxury goods like Louis Vuitton or Gucci? Singapore or Kuala Lumpur?

If you're in the market to buy some luxury goods, leather ware, travel accessories or even an iPhone case ... (I quite enjoy using the Gucci one) and you're in Asia, or flying into Asia, one question that will undoubtedly come to mind is, where is the best place to buy? And if you're one who lives in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, and has opportunity to go to both places regularly, then you'd ask yourself, should I buy in Singapore or KL? As a consultant would respond being true to form, the answer is, it depends. It depends on what brand and what specific item you want to buy, and where you're going. That's because prices vary across brands and across items. So a Gucci travel organizer could be cheaper in KL, by as much as SGD 100 versus Singapore, but a Gucci messenger bag could be cheaper in Singapore. And a Louis Vuitton messenger bag could be slightly cheaper in KL, but a small travel accessory bag could be SGD 100 lower in Singapore! The main message is, and t...

Best Place to buy Rimowa - Lufthansa WorldShop in Germany

I was going to Germany again and so I planned to get another Rimowa, this time the largest size so I could carry a lot when I needed to. The prices in Europe are much lower than in Asia, so if I had the opportunity I would buy. My Rimowa matte black Salsa medium size luggage bag while in a very nice house in Montmartre, Paris, in 2016. I purchased my most recent Rimowa last year in Paris. I got a matte black, medium size Rimowa Salsa that is just right for a 4-day trip (I like to pack all I will want on a trip!). This time I was in Mannheim and I was ready to get a luggage bag while the shop lady was explaining the advantages of the new Rimowa electronic luggage tag that was developed with and first available for use on Lufthansa Airlines. This reminded me that previously I got a Rimowa Bolero cabin bag from the Lufthansa WorldShop in Frankfurt at an unbeatable price. So now I wanted to see if I could buy from Lufthansa again. My Rimowa Bolero cabin bag ...

Louis Vuitton Backpacks - Gear For The Elite Urban Traveller

Louis Vuitton has just launched a new backpack - the Christopher, and I was in Singapore when it launched. Distinctly different from conventional messenger bags, the new men's bag had just been released in Singapore and Australia after an earlier debut in the US. But even in Singapore, the bag is not in all Louis Vuitton outlets, but only at the Marina Bay Sands flagship Boutique. Here is a peek at the Christopher bag, plus a comprehensive review along with earlier Louis Vuitton backpack models, so you can decide whether this backpack is for you. The Louis Vuitton Christopher in Monogram print, available now at the Louis Vuitton Boutique at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Carry all your urban gear in Louis Vuitton style using this bag. Read on for a comprehensive review. A Louis Vuitton backpack? Sounds rather like an oxymoron, a contradiction of terms - as Louis Vuitton the brand stands for luxury , expensive taste, posh hotels and fabulous accommodations, while backpacking ...

IWC: How to Turn Back Time on an IWC Perpetual Calendar Luxury Timepiece

For international travellers, turning back the time on their watches is a normal event. Not a problem when you have a GMT watch. But what if you have a higher complication like a Perpetual Calendar? Is it possible to turn back the time on a Perpetual Calendar like an International Watch Company IWC Perpetual Calendar watch? The answer is YES, and this ingenious method will apply to most luxury watch brands. The Rolex GMT 2 in gold and steel, a great watch for international travellers. And the IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar Double Moon in pink gold, a sophisticated complication for watch aficionados. Long distance journeys, and fine mechanical timepieces have long fascinated me. That's why my first expensive watch was a Rolex GMT II stainless steel that can tell the time in three locations simultaneously and can withstand harsh environments like the top of Mount Everest (not that I intend to climb that high) as well as great Ocean depths (okay - yes, I've used my Rolex GM...
