My Temporary Satchel Bag

07.06.2011 by Leah // 4 Comments

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  =)

      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.

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, โ€œFear naught from lifeโ€™s alarmsโ€.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute โ€“ and said,
โ€œTo know this life was good,
It left itโ€™s mark on me. Its work stands fastโ€.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold โ€“
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy โค
