We are Fashion Concious?

Gays are typically vain and very self-conscious about our own appearance, or being metrosexual as straight guys are called.. and thus from there, it goes on to constantly making sure we look good and inevitably following (or at least pay a little attention to) stuffs that are happening in the fashion Industry.



If I have snapped a photo of every person using this bag above, I probably have like close to a thousand photo in my phone since last November. Well, to be more precise, bag which is from this label but might come in different size and color. The only standard design is the leather handle and the golden button and zip.

I consider myself having sharp eyes and somewhat photographic memory. If a bag is from a popular label i can normally tell from some signature design. However, this was one bag that I have seen MANY Singaporeans using since end of last year but have totally no idea where it is from, until yesterday. It is like suddenly whole street of people using this bag, it even surpasses the all time favourite LV.

Dun believe that? Yesterday I was having dinner with my bestie colleagues.. and I spotted another girl behind our table using this bag. So i asked her if she has any idea, considering she is a girl and shopped like mad in US, i thought she might know. But nope, she says she has no idea. So later on we went for window shopping in the town and just within a short strecth of less than 500 meters, we spotted like 5 girls holding this bag. And the number keeps adding along the way. Until when we saw about 10 more within the next 30minutes, she was going crazy and swear that she MUST know what brand it is.

And guess what? we eventually did find out what it was!! Simply cause she recalled one of her best friend used this bag too... wat a coincident! (or it is just too popular)

By the end of the evening, I am sure I have at least seen 30 of it within like 4 hours in town. I am not sure if it is just here in Singapore or else where too. But I have definitely seen it in Bangkok too!
