THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Can’t have enough of Longchamp!

05.12.2013 by Leah //

I know, I know. I have said before that 2 Longchamp Le Pliage bags are enough for me.   But I couldn't resist buying a third one when I learned that my officemate is selling them at really friendly prices (almost the same price as my first Longchamp bag which I won at eBay). And since my 2 Longchamp bags are both in short handles, I decided my 3rd bag will be in long ... READ MORE

James Nares x Coach

01.30.2013 by Leah //

I haven't done a blog post on bags for a while.  Perhaps I've reach my saturation point so I just stopped looking. But then I saw this beautiful James Nares x Coach Tote Bag ($798.00) in the arms of my super-friend from college, Pia, during our December reunion and it was love at first sight (again!) for me. James Nares is a New York-based artist known for his unique ... READ MORE

Dealing with Bag Molds

11.17.2012 by Leah //

Some weeks back I discovered, to my dismay, that my favorite Balenciaga bag has developed molds after being stored away for quite some time.  I don't know why or how it got molds because I keep all my bags in fabric pouches and there are humidifiers scattered around my bag cabinet. It's a good thing I smelled it immediately and was relieved to see that the molds were just ... READ MORE

Spotted: Ugly Celine Bag Knock-Off

09.15.2012 by Leah //

I can't believe my eyes when I saw these Celine Luggage Tote knock-offs at SM Department Store: This is far worse than the one I spotted last year at CLN. The bright colors of this new knock-off didn't help either in making it look more attractive. Ugly, ugly, ugly!   ... READ MORE

Jubilee Edition Healthy Back Bag

09.09.2012 by Leah //

I love my purple Healthy Back Bag (HBB) Baglett so much that when this limited edition Flag Bag came out - a nod to the recent Jubilee celebration of Queen Elizabeth - I know I have to get it!    It was a perfect opportunity, really, because I've been meaning to buy a bigger version of the Baglett - the HBB Small - that I could bring when I travel for work.  Having the Union ...

Bag Look Alikes

07.23.2012 by Leah //

There's no way in the world that I can afford this Celine Leopard Luggage Tote Bag (priced between P120,000 to P150,000 - and that's just eBay prices, ladies), which is fast becoming the most coveted bag in the world, next to Hermes' Birkin:  But I can very well afford this P400 cute bag made of umbrella fabric, with Celine's iconic bag as the structure and print: Cute, ...
