yup she sells authentic bags. she's also a member here in the forum but i don't know if she's active anymore. apart from the website, she also has a store in makati, near rockwell.

Hi girls!!!

Another Pinay in the forum! I just got my mono speedy 30 a few weeks ago in Jakarta. The price there is cheaper by (rough estimate) $100.

I have a question...

What do you guys use to protect the vachetta??... Considering that most of the recomended products are not availabe here? :confused:

Thanks soo much! Am so excited too. Might get a speedy 25 mono next week. Then will save up for the damier neverfull. Hmm. Also want the mono neverfull eh. Hmm. Isip isip. Will update you guys.

hi! we have the same dilemma, just bought my first lv ( speedy 30) a few weeks ago, but i couldnt decide what to use to protect the vachetta..some forumers recommended shining monkeys&apple gard, but some said they tend to darken it, so i just followed one of d forumer's advice,(4got her name though) that is, 2 use a an alcohol free baby wipes..but i noticed it made the vachetta darker too, but it is effective in removing some stains..
i also read somewhere that coach leather moisturizer is great for d vachetta, but they closed their only shop in rockwell..so im thinking of ordering one from ebay..i hope its really effective!

hi, makeupmama and to everybody! there are a few resellers in manila that i know of. i'm not in any way connected to any of them. just a tip for others who are looking for great buys out here.

tresormakati opened a boutique recently with some of her friends at makati. she has a website. www.tresormakati.com and their boutique's website is tresoriegirls.blogspot.com.

there's another one: www.authentecite.com

they're both authentic. i bought a Bal bag from authentecite. he offers terms.

jewelrybox located at metrowalk.

there are others at multiply but can't verify yet if they are authentic. anybody else, who'd like to help - please add info or your experience with them.

happy bag-shopping, ladies!

Hi there! I read one of the TPFer from singapore used scotchgard leather protector. I looked for it in the Ace hardware of SM makati and found one. Ive been meaning to use it on my pochette to test it but just can't find the time...will inform you what happens if i get to experiment on it this weekend.

I also heard that tresorie stocks on appleguard but I havent had the chance to call them yet...lazy, lazy me!!!

MabuhaY!

I really thought it would be cheaper down there...Maybe you guys can come up here to visit, as you all may know there sure are plenty of us here in the bay area and many LV boutiques to choose from!

That would be great if some of us could arrange a meet in the bay area. There are many tpf members up there! I coordinated a Rodeo Drive Meet earlier this year and we had a great time! Early X'mas shopping anyone???

Hi there bagaddict503!

I just bought the Coralite Ultimate SPonge in RUSTANS makati. Its similar to the magic eraser and it works well on vachetta I tried it on my new speedy the other day and some black spots were removed Just dont rub it too hard as the vachetta tends to dry up easily
