Jimmy Choo Bags Are Expensive
£2,325Tell you something you don't know? Very honest with you, I don't. Not really. I know Jimmy Choo bags are not cheap, but I didn't know it's that out of reach.
Seriously, this black Malena bag costs £1,100. If you do the maths, it'll come to about 7k Ringgit. Don't know about you, from where I'm standing in the middle of the food chain, this is a little outrageous. Last night I got nothing to do so I started surfing ebay. I found a similar bag claiming to be 'authentic' going for USD152.
Immediately got crazy for a while and thankfully regain sanity few minutes later. Aiyah, if it's too good to be true, it probably ain't. If it's hard to find miracles in churches, it'll be even harder to find them on ebay. So I'm not holding out for one.
One thing I got to say is I won't go for a fake. I'm not holding anything against ladies who do. It's a personal choice. Personally, going for a fake just doesn't have that sense of satisfaction. How to put it... Crudely said, it's like a man going for prostitutes and calling himself a Romeo.
Talking about branded bags, I remember 20 years ago I had a girlfriend who bought a Bonia bag. Yeah, many of you would say Bonia where got class? But then 20 years ago and fresh out of school, Bonia is equivalent to LV for us. Anyway, I remember we went to eat and then as we were leaving, it started to rain. We had to make a dash for the car parked some distance away.We went inside the restaurant and asked for some used newspaper for cover. The restaurant did not have used newspaper, but they gave us some big plastic bags. Immediately I put the plastic bag over my head ready to make a dash for the car. Only then I saw my friend. She used her plastic bag to cover her brand new Bonia.
I said, "what about you?"
My friend replied, "I'll survive, my bag needs it more than me....."

zewt, i agree. usd152 can do lots of stuff. backpacking can tahan at least 3 days.
adrian, baby's business also on par with women's business.
eh, me too! Would not be caught dead with a fake, if not, just don buy. But but...no longer applicable rule. I have a fake Anya Hindmarch..:-(
Since when Jimmy is famous for bags? And the maestro is not even behind the label anymore. So, what's the point, eh? Gimme an LV anytime. And yeah, no fakes puhleez .. We are housewives with CLASS, no desperado el cheapo, rite? LOL
I am glad no woman had asked me to get them for a present...hehehehehe

Zewt - Guys will be guys.. *roll eyes* 1k over for a flat screen they won't complain... sigh
Keeyit - **psst ** that's what I can afford too. If I buy the cheap ones, I can change anytime. Summore no need to take care of them. lol

Wuching - Yeah.. to the bank and his grave.

anakmerdeka - Jimmy Choo bags are popular becos those Hollywood stars are using them. But then I bet those stars got them for free...
Maverick - Never say never... :-P
I like the last part best about ur friend covering her bag with a plastic bag!!
"Immediately got crazy for a while and thankfully regain sanity few minutes later." n "If it's hard to find miracles in churches, it'll be even harder to find them on ebay"...yukkekekekkek....
i dun hav a thing for handbag, but i could understand tat "ladies are just trying to amuse themselves a little" ;-)
At least bag, still got many uses. But an 8K pen?? Just to sign some documents?? Or perhaps fill out some forms??? (nowadays where got people still write letters..)
Furthermore, if you look at the signature, would you blardy know that the pen used to sign it cost more than what most people earn in a month?? Jeez...
