I really have no patience when it comes to bags =).
I’ve been lusting over a satchel bag these past weeks but I’ve yet to place my order for the handmade satchel bag from Ms. Frances of Topaz Horizon.
So while that is in the works, I couldn’t help but buy this Mulberry Alexa-inspired bag at Cash and Carry (priced real cheap):
It’s a good replica of a Mulberry Alexa bag, shown below in its real, original and authentic form:
There’s no way I could afford this bag, priced at £875.84 in Net-A-Porter. But you could very well see the difference between the real thing and its replica. I think the one I got is not a perfect copy of the original Mulberry Alexa and that’s kinda good because this is just a test bag.
I am really liking this temporary satchel bag, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the handmade one! I missed carrying long-strapped shoulder bags. For the longest time I’ve been carrying tote bags and other big, roomy bags because I am used to carrying my whole room in my bag hehe. But I have to compartmentalized my things and carry only the essentials now because AJ and I go out for short errands nowadays there’s no reason for me to bring my whole room.
More on my bag collection in my future posts =)
![[ Long story ahead] π Yesterday evening we checked on GG2 and found that 2 kitties were missing. We don't know where she put them because her area is already fenced to avoid the kitties from wandering off.
Turned out we are now at that stage where the momma cat is transferring her kitties because: (a) the birthing box has gotten too small for them though we put them out of the box already and fenced the area, (b) the area is dirty and OC si GG2, or (c) the area is too exposed and too bright for them.
After looking around with flashlight, we found the 2 kitties under the other plant stand just outside our door, walking at different directions and if not for the flashlight ay baka natapakan ko na π¬ We hurriedly put them back in their original box muna with their other siblings, and placed kraft paper in this potential '2nd home' under the plant stand in case GG2 transfers them again.
True enough, she transferred them back there - at midnight. We woke up this morning at the sound of meowing GG2. She is telling us that her babies want breakfast na so it's time to feed her as well π
Now I know why nag lipat bahay sya. Gusto pala nya mas malapit sya sa amin π Isang sigaw or meow meow lang nya, nakasilip na kme sa kanya π.
Haaayz, who knew that having a momma cat and newborn kitties would be this stressful - and entertaining π

hi there! great buy on this bag. I’ve been trying to look for an everyday satchel too and the alexa is a good style for it. Was just wondering how much you bought it for and where exactly in cash did you get it? malapit lang kasi sa office so I can drop by and have a look. thanks! π

Hi Katherine, thanks for liking the bag. I bought it at the Apple Cider Store, 3rd floor, C&C. It’s less than P2,000 =) The leather is good – it’s soft and not too heavy.
