i bumped into this bag

at the paragon
prada in singapore while accompanying a friend to hunt for another bag. it *grabbed* me straight away. since i saw another version of it a few weeks beforehand, and did not like that one, i was totally surprised why i like this one so much!
let me tell you ladies, as far as the degrade range is concerned, what colour combo you have makes a huge difference! i was hunting for the combo that south-of-france has on her baulletto (powder + slate). but i want it in another shape and i could not get any. this bag of mine is smoke + slate combo and it works really well with the silver hardwares, to my great surprise! because i was determined that the metal works were a bit *much*. but they look wonderful here (well, if i may say so myself, sorry hee hee

)
the one i saw which i did not like was in pinkish + very dark brown combo (not sure what colours they were) with gold hardwares.
i think very dark brown + powder would look lovely, but i have not seen one so far.
