Great Bag, yyyyy! You can't go wrong with a Sloane!

I was lusting after Absinthe but couldn't bring myself to buy it at Singapore prices :) Does the color really change that much for indoor and outdoor shots? It looks like a Curry Sloane in the hotel photo. (I have one so thought it looked familiar) The garden shot looks slightly different then again, I was expecting it to come out more green.

TDL > It looks more green under the white/sun light. I like it more under yellow/spot light since the green is more "warm" & delicate.

Thank you so much everyone! In order to present my appreciation, here's a "new love" I just got:

Hehehee........

OK, let's show its true face (strike a pose copying from BV website):

Cervo Shoulder Bag (not sure the color & no authenticy tag inside)

Very nice! Congrats!

(Entirely off topic but I love your curtains too hehe)

wow.....another reveal. congrats to you.
now i wish i can go korea for shopping spree. agreed with you that korean won has depreciate alot so really worthwhile to shop there now.

it's the perfect time to go Korea. Except the good & cheap cosmetics & skincare products, you also can get many nice clothes under SG$100.

Here's another shot of my new bag. Although it's not the classic BV woven, I loves the softness of the leather & the way it droops.

aaa_1188 · Jun 22nd, 2009, 06:05 AM

Wow! a totally satisfying reveal..... well done! Love both of your purchases..

Berriestan · Jun 22nd, 2009, 08:18 PM

Hi yyyyy,

how much did u pay for the sloane and how did u go abt claiming vat? U've gotten me all excited! My Hubby is going Korea next month

Bichon Lover · Jun 22nd, 2009, 09:44 PM

CX827 · Jun 22nd, 2009, 10:11 PM

Congrats! sounds like a fun trip
Did u buy a lot Skin Food stuff? Many local girls going crazy after this brand.

True*Fidelity · Jun 22nd, 2009, 11:34 PM

What a lovely picture of your lovely Sloane. Enjoy it in good health!

Berriestan > I paid around SGD3,000 after the 7% VAT refund, not sure if all the model is 30% cheaper than Singapore. Their pricing system is different with Singapore, I remember the Pyramid is only KRW100,000 (SGD120) cheaper than Sloane. Additional, there's a bank handling charge if paying by credit card, I saw it on my statement but couldn't figure out the percentage they charged.

It's easy to claim the VAT. Just present the VAT form & bag to the Refund counter in the airport before custom & they will chop on your form after checking the information (please remind that "chop" is "must-have") . Then, you can claim back cash (Korean won/USD) at the Tax Free (Refund) counter after custom. Looking forward what BV will be brought back by you DH from Korea, remember to share the picture with us

I bought ton of cosmetics & skincare, most of them are not over HKD100. Besides Skinfood, I also bought a lot from Missha, The face shop, Etude House, Tony Moly, It's skin, Innisfree ............ (especially the last four that can't be found in Singapore & Hong Kong)

IFFAH · Jun 23rd, 2009, 04:50 AM

yyyyy, I love slouchy bags and totally digging into the cervo shoulder bag.

Congratulations!
