My handbag covet list, the one I wrote about yonks ago, well barring the one YSL Muse which I'm now just feeling 'meh' about, today I have acquired everything I listed :D
Yup. Finally gave in and got myself the Rebecca Minkoff MAB! Hehehe, the way I'm going on about it, would seem like the MAB was a super exxie bag that would take me years to save up and buy but in reality costs a lil more than a fraction of my salary. A fraction and more cos I decided I must, must, must also own the MAC Daddy :D
That is right. Yes, I not only delved into the Morning-After-Bag Replenish, I also decided I needed the Morning-After-Clutch Daddy size. Gosh, I feel skeevy every time I type MAC Daddy like I'm talking about my pimp or something, lol.
After much posturing (on my part), Amazon's truly glorious markdown of the black, smooth leather, gold-hardware MAB from the very undesirable price of USD550 to USD312.33 completely convinced me to make a snap decision and buy it. Oh, yea, the extra 20% discount with code ACCESS13 also helped a lot. *INSERT TRULY DORKY DANCE MOVES HERE* Yup, I got this -
- for the very affordable price of USD249.86!!!!!
And since I had ACCESS13, apparently I went all Rebecca Minkoff nutso and got the MAC Daddy too. Retailing for USD350, it was already marked down to USD234.99 but with the extra 20% off, I managed to snag this -
- for USD187.99. That's close to a 50% off of the RRP which I'm happy about. I decided to get it in Navy, firstly cos it was one of the colours on sale. Secondly, because I don't own any navy handbags. Third, though Navy was my original first choice, I swapped it for a lovely military green hue one named Sage.....which promptly went OOS while I debated the merits of getting the bags. Then after deciding I definitely wanted the bags, I picked the Burgundy MAC Daddy. Again, sitting on the decision to buy it, this morning when I checked my cart also showed as sold out. So I had to go back to my original choice the Navy :D. Hindsight is, even though I missed out on the two colours I did like which did come with light gold hardware (I dunno if anyone else is noticing I have quite the obsession with gold toned hardware for handbags since last year), the waiting pushed the price of the MAB further down and I essentially got an additional 30 bucks off more or less. Continuing on, fourth reason, it has a specific, well-padded pocket for a max 10in-sized tech gadget, WOOHOO! That feature really attracted me to this bag. However, I did just sell my iPad to my bestie, hehehe. But fear not MAC Daddy, I do have plans to get either the iPad Mini or the iPad with Retina Display so you are still very much relevant to moi.
Anyways, with these purchases, I can finally put my list to rest. I don't think I can find any further reason to own any more bags than the ones I already own now. I mean, there comes a point when enough bags does really mean enough bags, no?
