i have been going on and off with my decision
whether to give in or not with my Longchamp desire...
was so hesitant to give in as it might lead to endless longing for more...
(the same as what happened to my Havaianas addiction before.)
and of course, i want my very first purchase to be something i really really want...
i really so much wanted it to be the Galleries La Fayette,
but because of its limited availability and its unusually high price,
i wasn't able to score one "YET"...
i still keep my hopes high... that's how much i like it..
despite my Uncle's info that it ranges from 14-17K Php in Dubai...
of course, i don't expect him to get me one...
(kutos ang aabutin ko! hahaha!)
but because of endless surfing on the net,
i saw an online japanese site which was on a weekend sale...
and they have this one on sale...
i did a lot of thinking regarding purchasing one...
i was just staring at my cart, whether i was gonna submit the order or not...
i didn't decide that night...
i thought to myself, that if it's still available in the morning,
then we're meant to be... :)
unfortunately, come morning, i checked the link,
only to find out that they ran out of stocks already...
so i just brushed off again the idea of getting one...
when i got back home from office,
i opened my email, and received an email in japanese...
couldn't understand it, so i had to seek the help of Babel...
then it translated... that the online shop would like to confirm
if i will be pushing through with my order, as they held one piece for me...
truly, we were meant to be, i guess...
i was supposed to receive my LC bag yesterday...
but, as usual i had trouble with the Takkyubin service,
coz they don't speak English...
so this morning i decided to just leave the money with our caretaker...
and when i got home tonight...
i finally met my very first ever Longchamp
LM Metallic handbag in Bronze
::photo with and without flash::
"in actual, it isn't as shiny as others said..
which i like a lot.."
::the flap & the logo::
::the back of the flap & the care card::
at first sight, i thought i made the wrong choice in the size, as it looks small...
but when i transferred the contents of my Betseyville bag into it...
i still have a room for my book, my lunchpack, and so much more...
this bag is amazing! i cant believe it could contain this much!
it's gonna be my fave for sure...
and did i mention that it only cost me JPY 7900.00???
that's less than Php 4000.00
JACKPOT!!!
now, i found this cheap Longchamp bag...
i haven't seen anyone with this...
but i find it really cute...
what do you think???
Give in??? or Stay away???
('to na nga ba sinasabi ko.. hirap umayaw pag nasimulan na!)

Give in!!! LOL! :) I love Longchamp bags too!
You sure snagged a very good deal on your metallic LM.. That one's selling for 8k++ online here in Manila and not available in local stores.
I would have bought one too if I didn't have my black LM Nylon yet -- their designs are too similar. But the metallic looks extra special! Oh well..
You might like to get a Bag-2-Go organizer for your Metallic LM though. It'll do wonders in organizing and protecting (inner lining) of your Longchamp, as well as give added structure to it. I use it daily in my LM Nylon (Medium/SH) with no need for a base shaper. I must say that it's the only bag organizer that was able to suit my needs.

talagang walang STAY AWAY huh?! hehehe!
@ melinda: thanks sis for the suggestion.. yes, i am planning to get a bag organizer too..
btw, i saw that LM nylon.. i wanted it in red or black but it's too hard to find now.. i only see the pink one in stores na lang.. :P
You're most welcome, dear!
I got the black (LM Nylon), very happy with it. :) Yeah, lately I only see the pink one nga lang.. Didn't know they had a red version. Must be nice too. :)
Waaaah! Im super envious with your 4k find! True, LCs here cost double that price :(
Good luck with your next purchase!!! :) have you gotten your Miyajima? :)
@melinda: i read that the red one only came out here in Japan..
@hotpepper: yes! kaya hindi nakakadala to buy dahil my first purchase was a cheap find..
haven't gotten my Miyajima.. still contemplating if il be getting that or get a customized one instead..
congrats on your first bag! more bags to come! im looking for my first LC din but i haven't seen the design i want here in the phils or local online shops (i want the one with a pink ballet shoes print). maganda yung bag mo ha! i like!
^nice nga yun sis.. pero limited edition nga rin kaya mahirap mahanap, at kung meron man e, ginto ang price.. naku! preno muna sa gastos.. hahaha!
give in!!!!!
Hey Ken! i didnt know it was you! haha! thanks for bearing with my babaw blog! :D
Give in! So you don't have to deal "what if" and "if only" .. Haha
you've got a very good steal on your LM Metallic. here in Canada that same bag almost costs Php 7,600 if converted to peso. i want to purchase my first LC bag too and deciding which one to get first. i'm choosing between the LM Nylon black/white or the LM Metallic bronze. both are gorgeous so its really hard to decide. :D
wow that's a very good deal! I wish I could say the same for me... I took the plunge and got a galeries from ebay... like you, I wanted my first one to not be one of the plain ones if I'm already spending money anyway. It's a done deal for me although I won't be getting it until November but I am still trying to justify to myself my low EQ moment.. hehe :P
Sis, Give In ka na. available ba yan dito sa Pinas? Or sa Japan mo lang nakita?
