Sparse Writings

I have to apologise for not writing more.  I feel like a turd but it's the truth, I really do feel like a turd.  This cold/flu thing I had going on was one thing but it's left me with a horrendous hacking cough that just won't go away.  The kind that keeps you up at night.  And as a mom of young kids, I was already sleep deprived enough.

Having said that, let's move along to an awesome bag of the day. 



It's the Jimmy Choo Monna bag.  Another bag that I can load up with everything under the sun. 

Usually brands like Jimmy Choo are not well replicated.  There is a simple reason for this.  They are not as popular as you and I may think. Most people, my husband included, have never heard of Jimmy Choo.  For that reason, these kinds of products are not given the quantity runs at a factory that say Chanel, LV or Balenciaga handbag are, and conversely, these products don't get perfected at the same rate as again LV and Chanel products do. 

Now, my factory does do Jimmy Choo very well.  Pretty close to perfect and some Jimmy Choo products are comparable to LV and Chanel replication.  I know.  I know.  Your're thinking I'm just saying that because it's my factory and because I sell these bags. 

No, actually that's not my motive.  I do sell these bags and so I have to either go buy the original or make friends with people who have originals and actually check the quality of the bags I sell.  Failing that, I have to go to Macy's, Barney's, Nieman Marcus, etc., or whatever store that may carry the brand and compare my replica handbag to the original.  Since I am a handbag hog, I usually end up buying the original bag to do the comparisons (Note to hubby:  I usually sell the now second hand bag to a friend - I swear!).


All in all, I have to, check the bags out in order to be able to sell them.  I check them out when I go see the factory in Asia.  I see what runs they're going to do and what products they're excited about.  The I ensure that the factory is actually doing what they state they are doing.  I live on the other side of the world from the factory and so my only means of ensuring they are keeping their end of the quality control bargain up is to check their products. 







I know some people would do things differently but we're all wired with a different sense of good value and honesty.  I'm not good with telling people that they are going to get a GREAT product if I don't personally know that.





I do however personally know that this Jimmy Choo Monna is an excellent sexy sleek bag.  It comes in both Black and Brown.  I'm a sucker for brown and so I think that bag is even nicer than the Black!

I don't know how Jimmy Choo does it but he's got phenomenal insight into what makes women look good.  Shoes, handbags...in my books the guy is a genius.

Happy Shopping everyone!
