haha I can sense your excitement!!! I was too, like a kid in a candy store. a DELICIOUS SMELLING candy store!! great pick! what does it look like inside?I don't know how to put it but let me start by saying I want to kick my own **tt for not knowing sooner that we do actually have Rabeanco boutiques (yes, not 1 but 3!) here in our country, in 3 of the most famous malls in the metro and all of which I go to!!! Aaaarrrggghhh!!!
I was so engrossed in looking for great Rabeanco bag deals on ebay ($36 excellent pre-loved against $270 for brand new overseas) and not 1 local seller ever told in their ad that we have stores here where we can compare the prices if we want to.
Yesterday, my friend and I were looking for a jewelry shop in the mall and I gazed upon 1 shop with the letters RABE and the remaining letters to complete the shop name was obscured by a post. Could it be??? I asked my friend and she said yes, it's Rabeanco! She knew that that store was there all along. And she also knew I love their bags! She said she always forgot to mention it to me whenever we're together! OMG! So obviously, I dashed inside and saw the beautiful collection. I was so excited I forgot to take pictures! Bummer!
Anyway, I fell in love with 1 black lambskin 2-way bag but I didn't buy it yet bec. 1.) Just bought a LV wallet earlier that day and 2.) There was only 1 left and it was a display item. I wanted 1 that's fresh and out of the package. So, I asked them to reserve one for me and call me when a new stock comes in.
But I didn't leave empty-handed of course. Since the LV MC Pochette Cles was out of stock in the LV store we went to earlier, I decided to get a key pouch in Rabeanco.
Here it is! My first ever, store-bought brand new Rabeanco key pouch that's super smooth, buttery soft in red lambskin leather. I LOVE IT!!! And the best part is, I now have a new shop to visit everytime I go to that mall. Super!

IKR?!
I'm so happy to know about the stores here but I would definitely still like to see the HK stores someday with you as my tour guide haha! 
Here's the coin/key pouch's interior -- love it's simplicity. At the back of it, there's a slot to hold cards. I plan to put my driver's license there as well as my son's arcade game card. Very handy! ^^)

that really does look handy! simple is good.
and cool, game's still on! I actually just found another rabeanco store the other day... but I was with a friend who wasn't very into handbags, so didn't get the chance to check it out. I know they more or less sell the same stuff, but I loooove going into their stores all the same just to smell the air. hahahaha
seriously I wonder if they make some sort of leather perfume?? how can their stuff smell so much nicer than other similar (and more expensive) stuff? I mean, my mom recently gave me her LV purse, and I thought it wasn't leather because it didn't have any of that juicy rabeanco smell! strange? how do you find rabeanco compares to your other leather stuff?
You're definitely correct!
Real leather smell compares to no other. I think our Rabeanco smells differently from let's say a LV purse when that purse is made of coated canvass (monogram and damier line) rather than their other leather lines (i.e. empreinte). I went to a LV store a week ago & sorted that out since I asked for several different wallets before settling to 1. I tried a coated canvas and I was expecting it to smell really yummy. With all my might, I sniffed the wallet and to my nose's disappointment, it didn't smell as I expected it to be. Then the SA handed me an Empreinte wallet and the feel of it in my hands, sooo smooth and soft! And when I sniffed it, leather heaven! It smelled really good just like our favorite Rabeanco . Of course, I didn't buy the empreinte bec. the price is double the canvas wallet haha! I'm just so glad I found that Rabeanco store! Hope you'll get the chance to visit that new Rab store you've discovered. I'm wondering how big is the biggest store among the 3 you've been to. Here it's just a small boutique but nevertheless there are lots of choices.
Have a blessed weekend! ^^)♡
Congratulations!
I wish I could post pics too, but the uploading from my android does not seem to work, I think the pics are too large no matter how I try to downsize.
Oh, that's too bad
Would really love to see your Rabeanco.. Maybe you could lessen the resolution of your phone camera (I think the allowable resolution here is 1500 x 1500). When you open your camera, you can easily find it in the settings. Good luck!
Hey thanks for your suggestion, but it doesn't work still. But it's alright, I am a new convert to Rabeanco, and this first purchase is only the start of a Rab collection!
Wondering here why it still doesn't work? Anyway, when you do get the chance to post, please do
I'd still love to see it!
Not sure why. But I have the link to my Rabeanco satchel here http://pinterest.com/pin/306244843385291483/
Past by Rabeanco and discovered that they are having 20% storewide discount, I bought a grey cube crossbody that I have been wanting. It is a great-looking and affordable alternative to the Givenchy pandora box. Broke my ban for it too! Sometimes I see the stores are so empty I am afraid they will close and pull out.
I went past Rabeanco on wednesday and saw a beautiful, nice-smelling Tiara backpack!!! 
but it was kinda expensive even after the 10% off discount
