hahaha anyone else a fan of that chubby panda?? 
anyway..
Hello LC lovers!
as promised, here is a story of the beautifuly modified flowery MSH
tbh I don't like longchamp at all, at first.. I mean, omg, this bag is EVERYWHERE!
I used to live in Germany and this bag is all over the place... And then i started to travel a lot..
I used to carry a Hello Kitty travel bag. This bag weight almost 1kg empty... but, a girl loves HK, so... (I can not find any picture online, as it was an older version, i bought it back in 2007 or 2008.. but this one looks similar, without the stroller, with an adjustable strap.)
One day i travelled with a friend from another city. Like me, she carried a luggage and a travel bag too. The different is, after we arrived at the hotel and put away our stuffs, she then took her folded MSH and carry only the essentials, mean while I carry this big and heavy kitty... It was a short holiday, thank God, but taught me a lot about travelling..
Later i found out that she is a HUGE LC fans.. Back then LC didn't offer that much of variety, as much as i know, unlike today. CMIIW, but LC only offers a variety in colors in Le Pliage model. And that is what she collected; MSH mostly in seasonal color (or back then limited edition)..
And because of her, i started to look for a LC MSH too.. Because this bag is handy and light, foldable.
It's not that I don't have any other handbag.. But they're mostly leather bag from local designer; not fodable and deffinitely not that light.
So, as much as i didn't like LC, but when you carry that much of things in your bag like i did back then, then MSH it is..
I don't know any LC Store in my city, so online store here i come. Normally i'm a huge fan of white colored handbag. But this beige was on sale, so beige MSH it is. Bought it in 2009 for 50 Euro. Later, i found out that there is a small store at the airport.. And is cost the same... so much for sale
And since then, it went almost everywhere with me.. across Europe, Middle East, Asia..
And this extensive usage was a little bit too much for my beige.. As shown in the image below, it started to show some bubbles and holes on the bottom edges.. it turned so ugly i had to put it away.. ;(
An inspiration come one day, after looking for some variety of textiles.. There is a lace called Prada lace because it's a 3D lace. I'm not an expert in textile, they say it's because the motive on that lace is emboss-like-flower, that's why it's called 3d-lace. So couple of days later i went to a textile shop and bought 0,5m lace. I don't need much, and this lace is pretty costly. I was lucky because it was a new material in that store, so i got the part that isn't covered with lace that i can use for the top part of the bag. I stitched it in the top lining of the bag, that way i didn't create a new holes.
It's not that neat of stitches, i know, but served the purpose to cover the bubbles and holes and give the MSH a sort of protection plus a new look
And with the leftover material, i stil manage to cover my old Esprit leather shoes
But, every encounter has an ending...
i can not use this bag anymore because the handle has a small crack... and the inner layer started to fall apart too.... I was thinking to buy a new replacement, but...... just can't...
This MSH stayed as the bag with the most adventures.
