Obsession Diaries: Handbags

When I step back to think of the things I "collect" handbags would definitely be another category. When I looked through my collection, three main brands emerged. I document those collections here.

Ippolito

I can’t remember how and where I first heard of ippolito. This Greek leather handbag brand is one of my favorite handbag brands, and I I’ve bene buying from them for the past three years. I will buy a new piece when the collection interests me and if it will hold a unique place in my overall handbag collection.

Vintage Louis Vuitton

I started buying vintage Louis Vuitton as a college student because I could not afford new models, however, I grew to like the look of the vintage models better. I like the faded, worn look and some of the older pieces are a lot classer and more timeless than the new collections.  

Vintage Coach

I inherited my first coach bag from my mother, who bought it at a time when it was not vintage. I kept it and carried it from time to time, and ended up purchasing my own bags over the years. I really love the look of them an the feeling of old leather.

From Pakistan to Osaka

On a weekend trip to Osaka, I finally had the chance to wear this Nishat Linen dress I bought in Pakistan. It was so light and comfortable, perfect for Japan's humid summers. 

It also  happened to be Fashion's Night Out in Osaka. Although everyone was more fashionably dressed than the author of this blog, I believe I deserved the award for comfort and practical dressing. 
Seriously Japan, leather and heels in heat of summer?

I think Pakistan has the upper hand on this one.
