Them bagginses 

If you have read today's Life! from Straits Times, you would have seen the gorgeous Anya Hindmarch bags on display. I have actually seen one up close and personal (my rich Citibanker cousin got herself one a couple of months back) and truly, they are exquisite.

Recently, the label asked several of our local artistes to design their own bags in the Be a Bag series for charity auction.

Now, I don't mean to be a snob but seriously, for the bags to really sell well, you must be someone really famous (like Zoe Tay or Fann Wong in the local context) or use a photo that's alluring. There's no way, for instance, that I am going to buy a bag, that costs SGD200 and above, such as the following:


Honestly, why would I want to carry a handbag that has David Gan's face imprinted on it? Unless I am his best friend Zoe Tay or I am a mere collector, the chances of me carrying that bag is low. Almost zero. No, make that zero.

But do drop by Anya Hindmarch's website, there are a lot more gorgeous designs shown on it. There are a couple of Be A Bag items that look really good, such as Claudia Schiffer's contribution.

Oh yeah, I'm finally on Friendster. Fur had kindly reminded me that I have an account which has not been activated. Until last night. So, do add me on as your friend. =)
