Bag "the" Bag at Benetton

i'm a certified bagaholic and not a brand hag at that.i can settle for a bag from Egg if i liked the bag and splurge for a LE longchamp if i really want to. and in both instances, i want my bags to always look new and clean and will buy a dust bag if necessary. but i'll be at my happiest if i found a good bag with a good brand with a very good price.

as i've said in my previous post, today is my favorite season. and since my friend G has been checking the racks for longsleeves, we went inside United Colors of Benetton upon seeing the SALE sign. while G's busy in the fitting room, i'm checking the bags. the good lady approached me and told me that the bag's are currently 50% off. i wanted to buy the shoulder bag in blue but since i'm almost always at a hearing, i need a bigger bag to fill my in my folder, slippers, my planner and my what's-in-my-bag stuff.

it took a while to choose what color to buy: the lilac or the hot pink one. the hot pink is screaming Legally Blonde that i was so tempted to buy it. but i realized thereafter that my bags are mostly in the pink shade so i chose the lilac one.

it's made from faux leather and not really prone to dirt despite the color. and when it gets dirty i can just use a damp cloth to clean it instead of a wipeout. lol

the chain links as handle give the oomph to the bag, however, i find it difficult to put it on my shoulder since they are li'l heavy.

the bag is roomy which can store my book, my kikay kit, my humongous wallet, my iTouch, my phone and etcetera.

i love the fact that it has a dust bag but since this is the kind of leather which cracks after some time, it's better that you let it out and use it sometime and not just keep it in storage. i had to learn this the hard way in the MNG bag my boyfriend gave me as a monthsary present. 

it's originally pegged at Php3,500.00 and now that it's 50% off, i got it only for Php 1,750.00. so for me it's a good deal but not yet SOS-worthy.

while G went home with a top he bought on sale in a plastic that's screaming SALE, i went home with this bag in a nice paper bag. another night in paradise.

United Colors of Benetton is located at 2nd level, Bldg B, SM Megamall
