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 ...

Why I Want To Use Inovar Laminated Wood for My New House

The Inovar Laminated Wood Flooring by Daiken - it's impressive technical features and results of my own tests are detailed in my previous post (see link). My intention was to compare its performance versus it's claims and versus competitors. This is because I needed to decide on my own flooring for a new house project. Inovar floor, a global product . Since writing that blog, I've seen the Inovar Australia and South Africa websites, aside from Asian sites, and now better appreciate how Inovar flooring is a truly global product with a very extensive line-up. This photo above is from the Inovar Australia website , and shows the Laminate - Original range. They have 5 laminate ranges, each with its own set of characteristics and aesthetic choices. And Inovar has other products like laminated wood, bamboo and vinyl. The Engineered Wood shown to me at the Kibu Design Concepts showroom in Manila is also very impressive and worthy of consideration. I've decided to use laminat...

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 Urban Backpack, Singapore 2021 August

We’re still in lockdowns, what do you need a backpack for?! Okay, okay - things are starting to open up, and travel will hopefully return soon. How soon is soon? Well… we still need to get around the city, right? So if you’re in the market for a great backpack, here are the best options today. The Hitch Backpack from Coach. Full leather, full size. You can carry a 15” notebook computer here, with adequate space for other city gear. The side pockets are good and spacious, and big enough to fit your hand in - so no problem placing small items inside and getting them out. The straps are anchored by snap closures or magnetic locks, so they’re easy to open. Coach leather goods are consistently good, and this item is well designed. At SGD 1,295, this is a very good but considerable purchase. So make sure the style and colors are what you want. There are many color options, and new and fresh ones have just come out. Going with a leather & canvas version with signature Co...
