Well the BTW is a fantastic bag since it's quite dynamic, due to the design, it can be worn different ways, and you made a very wise and practical decision to get that bag in such a lovely and especially neutral color, loving the Karlito combo with the bag.
Well at the beginning even the regular peekaboo got my eye, but now that I've seen many versions for men of women's bags, I think the squarish silhouette is the thing that turns a bag manly by design definition, that being said, I don't know, I think I could make one of those work if the hardware was in silver (for some reason, gold hardware in my mind is directly linked to women or feminine) and if it were a little bigger, I kind of feel it's way too small for a guys bag, also I tend to buy bags which can fit a laptop at least, and due to the trapezoidal shape of this bag, that wouldn't be the case, also, I have issues with how smooth that leather is (I think Selleria causes the "once you go Selleria you can't go back" syndrome).I'm normally not tempted by the women's version of a handbag if the men's one already exists, but I REALLY like the Peekaboo Essential. The smooth leather works remarkably well on this bag (makes the bag have very clean lines). I think it can look great on guys, especially with its more minimalist look! What do you guys think?
Also, it wouldn't hurt (actually I think it would be very cool) that the hardware were either anodized black or ruthenium (gunmetal) I would love that men's peekaboos would start to be produced with those shades in the hardware, I think those kind of finishes are quite masculine and cool and very understated against a palladium or gold finish, so if an essentials were to be made with that kind of hardware I'd gladly work it.
True. If the Peekaboo Essential or even the men's Peekaboo came out in an ultra black version with black hardware, then it would be even more wonderful, although in truth black hardware looks terrible once it gets scratched as the silver metal beneath starts to show through.
I actually like this Peekaboo because it's not totally out of my comfort zone. For days I want to look understated, then the front will be closed so it'll look like a normal blue bag, but when I want more colour, then I can drop the front down and VOILA! What a surprise!
I hope this works out and you are able to get it for a good price! Does your country charge high import duties and taxes? They usually add about 23% to the price in Canada, and after currency conversion, it's not even worth buying. That's why I now buy internationally only from duty-included websites like Luisaviaroma and Farfetch.
Yeah, even though my country is part of the NAFTA duties and taxes usually go way high, although with the current price + 10% off the price is quite right and the duties and taxes are calculated against the all discounted price, so, the good news is, from what the guy at my local Coach said, the bag in the country was about 1120 USD, but with the Saks price includinng duties, taxes and shipping it would be 800 USD, now, I'm wondering since from what I saw in Saks website that Coach bag is not even part of the summer discounts, which is kind of odd, I checked any Coach 1941 bag and the only one that was discounted was the one I wanted, now I'm tempted to actually wait to see of the bag gets a bigger discount, ugh, I don't know what to do, I would die if the bag would turn out being sold out, I knew I wanted it since the first time I saw it, and seeing the regular colored (all in one color bags, i saw the black and white one) I really liked even the one colored ones, I know I'm going to love this one even more, because of the colors, anyways.

Nice jacket! I love the detailing on the shoulders. And 80% off? It's a must!!!Yeah, even though my country is part of the NAFTA duties and taxes usually go way high, although with the current price + 10% off the price is quite right and the duties and taxes are calculated against the all discounted price, so, the good news is, from what the guy at my local Coach said, the bag in the country was about 1120 USD, but with the Saks price includinng duties, taxes and shipping it would be 800 USD, now, I'm wondering since from what I saw in Saks website that Coach bag is not even part of the summer discounts, which is kind of odd, I checked any Coach 1941 bag and the only one that was discounted was the one I wanted, now I'm tempted to actually wait to see of the bag gets a bigger discount, ugh, I don't know what to do, I would die if the bag would turn out being sold out, I knew I wanted it since the first time I saw it, and seeing the regular colored (all in one color bags, i saw the black and white one) I really liked even the one colored ones, I know I'm going to love this one even more, because of the colors, anyways.
I guess that perhaps I'm going to have to monitor the inventory and see, I tried to put I don't know if 6 or 8 bags and the page did not marked it as low stock, so I'm guessing perhaps waiting is the way to go, I'm really crossing my fingers so that people don't find that color combo so desirable and it ends up on clearance or something, also it would be very good for my budget/wallet/credit cards since I just bought a jacket and sunglasses from Gilt on saturday (the jacket I bought I saw it IRL on November 2015 at a boutique at the capital, but it was way too effing expensive), then the following year (2016) I found it on Gilt but it was quite expensive still, so I waited, and waited, and waited, it turned out sold out, but magically it was restocked, so then I waited again, and again, and again, finally last week from the last 2 (one in a size that I tested 2 years ago and one bigger, which to my calculations was the one correct for me, since the one I tested was a little too tight) one sold and the final one, was discounted up to 80% off, so that's when I said to myself "it is now or never" so I finally got it out of my "waitlist" which to me is like a wishlist to keep track of stuff I want on more discount, and bought it.
It's a Diesel Black Gold grey (yes, grey, me, so uncharacteristic, although grey is also my other favorite color, is as mixable and dynamic like black but is not black) wool jacket with studs, and zippers, the moment I saw it 2 years ago I fell in love, then I almost had a heart attack when they told me the price, I practically threw it into the SA's hands, like a hot potato, hahahah.
It sounds silly but, since I've waited for that jacket for so long, and well in my town is really hot so the only way to use something like that is to wait til fall or winter, I want it as part of my b'day outfit for this year (my b'day is at the end of October), so, it is really something I look forward to
That is also something as a motivation, in the last couple of months I've been very careless with my eating habits, so I've been gaining weight and a size of clothing so, with a goal to returning to form for my B'day and my outfit I think there's more chances I get back to my slim self soon, that's another reason why I haven't been posting as much as in the beginning.
That delicate balance between my love for (usually non healthy, delicious) food and my passion for fashion
Well last year I had the habit to jog for 3 km and walk 2, it is my goal to, perhaps not jog first but at least power walk 6km daily at least 3 times a week, aerobic excercise has been really good for me mentally and phisically but last year around july I stopped going, working out is not something I love to do, it has never been of my liking (I'm such a couch potato) but then again, I have to return to my healthy habits, it felt really nice to be skinny and feel good overall, I miss that (and miss the clothing that for now I'm not able to use), so, the goal is set and the path is clear, the only thing I have to do is actually decide I want to make the effort to go for what I know I can do.
Loving your bag / bag charms combo! Now I really want a backpack charm for my collection!
Wow! I LOVE your shirt. Your whole look is wonderfully coordinated! And in the background, your collection is impressive, and also impressively organized and displayed. It's like going shopping for your look every day, but from your own collection!
