I think I will keep you guessing a bit.
* I already have a bag of this brand and it is very special to me, because it was the gift of a very dear friend and because the brand is not easily available here.
* It looks like Hermes Garden Party.
* It is two coloured. One colour is brown the other is apricot.

Happy guessing.

So much interesting stuff and pucs. :)
Who is the guy in the bike statue?
The botanic gardens do look peaceful. But, loud music festival sounds a bit unpeaceful. :D
Do you happen to know why Oslo is a tiger city?
