F&V Satchel Bag

08.10.2011 by Leah // 5 Comments

Last Wednesday was a happy one because I finally got the Cath Kidston bag I ordered at eBay.

Then today, I got another package again!  This time from Frances of Topaz Horizon!

I know I just have to get my own Frannie and Vinnie Satchel Bag (but I coined it the F&V Satchel Bag – parang H&M, D&G or P&G hehe!) because I’m now addicted to satchel bags.

The bag was neatly wrapped in white linen paper (or was it onion paper?).

My very own F&V Satchel Bag!

What a beauty!

The bag’s craftmanship was impeccable!  The tanning was uniform all throughout and you won’t find a spot in the bag that is darker than the rest.

Hand-sewn stitches all over.  Wow.

The buckles of this satchel bag are so classy, clean and pulido. 

What more, the stitches connecting the buckles to the outer flap do not leave ugly marks inside the bag.    I actually like them!

I also love the bag’s outer pocket.   The buckle outlines are cute!

There’s also an inner pocket where I could keep some money hehe.  Note to Ms. Frances:  you need to put your own label tag here na.

Oh, did I tell you that the bag smells great?   All authentic leather bags do!

Place your order now for an F&V Satchel Bag before leather gets expensive!   Just kidding!  Seriously, you should order now before the wait list gets longer  =)

Next in my list (and I will definitely have this before the year ends):  the School of Satchel bag!   I keep dreaming about the 13″ satchel bag in blue and that’s enough sign for me to save up for it!

    I LOVE THIS!!!

    Leah, you’re fast to blog about this, ha. You must really like the bag! Hooray =D

    And yeah, we really need to name the bag biz. Maybe F&V is a great name. =) When I did Frannie & Vinnie, I did think Dolce & Gabbana, Alice & Olivia, Ben & Jerry’s, Smith & Wesson haha

    Thanks for the post and glad you love your new bag =D

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

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, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
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 ❤
