The Casual Bag Thread

[tpmmark]

ya abit pricey for cotton or PET material... top up a bit more can get full leather from projectshop or bags with leather trims alr. but then again i paid around tt price for freitag too haha.

im quite like the material use ie cotton or canvas as i find them softer, so they tends to fit nicely when its being carry around.
i owned serveral types of bags b4 till i decided that i had enough of those 'hard' looking type where the material used is too hard and gets uncomfortable. leather is gd too bt u need to take care as they tends to crack after sometimes. im the lazy type so leather is out

Btw does anyone knows of any reliable site that i can order a cote et ciel messenger? As i read somewhere that the online sell it below $200. Or is it only thru the official site? Thanks guys.

I've heard projectshop bags are really heavy.
Anyone has any info on this?

Hmmm... I have abt 5 projectshop bags.... Have to say they r all quite light except for one of the heavy cotton canvas bags which is big and heavy because of the material and amount of compartments. The leather bags are very light and soft...

There is only one outlet left (at paragon), their ngee ann city outlet is under renovation and wisma closed long ago...
I bought 3 during their sale last year in june (but I doubt they will have anymore sale as they are moving into european market)... Bought 2 full leather bags at around 150 and 180 each after 50% disc. They're bags are pretty lasting

if you guys are really looking for a good leather bag, i mean genuine leather and not the fakes like pu leather, pleather, faux leather ... bla bla bla, then go down to OOI.inc at TripleOne Somerset #02-20 or Cluny Court #02-22.

can also check the website ooiinc.com.sg before going down. better to visit the shop to check out the quality for yourselves la.

I personally feel jack spade is wayyyy overpriced, especially for canvas... The design also nt very crazy.
