Default Newmom's Under-the-Bed Collection
Hello! I have always loved bags and have always had more than 10 to choose from at any 1 time. But they were always cheap and fun bags which cost between $20 to $150.

My foray into designer bags started in February 2007 when my mom got me a Coach bag for my birthday. Before then, I was totally ignorant about designer bags besides knowing the names of the more prominent ones like Gucci and LV.

Here is my very first Coach bag and very first 'designer' bag:

I started getting curious about Coach bags. Then in July 2007, I walked into a Coach boutique and bought this. It was my most expensive bag then and cost more than Singapore Dollars $800 (about US$530 at the currency exchange rate then). It was also the first and last Coach bag I bought at full retail price.

Then I discovered ebay and the world of (relatively) more affordable designer purse owning opened up for me.
Here are my Coach signature (other than the denim range) bags.

1) Legacy Ali in khaki/coal
2) Carly in khaki/saddle
3) Perforated hobo in khaki/white/baby blue - simply love the white/blue leather combo!
4) Bleecker small flap in wine - got this when Coach drastically reduced the price of the small flaps online to USD 167 from I think 300 plus. Love it cos its a good deal and the size is great for short outings.

Next is my Ergo leather collection.

1) Large tote in RUST - arrowed on this on ebay once I saw it as this colour is seldom seen. But was patient and waited out the auction. Won it in the last minutes as the first (and only ) bidder, for $179

2) BLACK cross-body - didn't know Coach made the Ergos in cross-body, and watched the auction like a hawk in the last minutes. Bidded against someone at the last minutes and won for $67 . Was SOOO happy as I felt it was a good deal

3) Small hobo in CAMEL - got it from ebay for $89

Phew! Kids (and dh!) are asleep already (it's 10 pm here now), so mummy has some time to herself.

Have been loving the Coach denim collection since I got the Signature Stripe Tote in November last year. This is my denim collection so far, but it's missing my signature stripe wristlet and mini skinny
