Hi my fellow pinay!! Oh with me, it all started last year. My parents and I traveled around Europe.All those luxe stores were around you and its too tempting esp. not having much stores in MANILA(one LV store, one gucci store, NO CHANEL store at all) So all my my Lvs and this chanel are all from other countries. It's too expensive here(Lvs are like 20-30% more expensive)
I feel your pain! I was so spoiled living just blocks away from all the great boutiques in NYC (VERY bad for the budget! You see a bag you like on Lucky or Eluxury or InStyle and you can walk across the street and get it!) but maybe worse is not having any? I took a trip to Hong Kong in late August and was SO excited for my Chanel boutique visit but it turns out they were out of EVERYTHING. There really wasn't much to choose from (no offense, Chanel lovers - I know every Chanel bag has its fan but for someone making her first Chanel purchase it was a huge disappointment). But the trip was not to be wasted I did manage a couple of other great bags!
