Although I do not carry a handbag, heck, I do not carry a bag at all except on the rare occasions where I have to take the laptop out and so would have to carry my laptop backpack, I certainly appreciate finely made handbags.

The reason I do not carry bags is that I live in a city with a high incident rate of snatch thieves. Snatch theft victims even die. Yes, that is how bad it is here. Lucky thing that I could stuff all my belongings into my pockets!

Anyway, The Sak is running a handbag sale right now at their online store. My friends would be delighted to know about it since they still do continue to carry bags. It’s funny that they have so many different bags for different occasions and moods. I could NEVER catch up!

Book In A Bag

The Sak’s handbag sale is not that grand but a little savings is better than none. Also, in collaboration with Harper Collins, we get to win a new bag from The Sak PLUS books by Harper Collins. As a book lover, this offer is pretty difficult to resist!

I have been on the market for a laptop backpack for almost two months now. While searching for a lady-like laptop backpack that is cute and fashionable, I discovered Kara B’s range of Metro backpack and I was delighted to find that they are having a clearance sale.

Well, I wrote in asking if they would ship international and how much it would be but I did not get a reply from them after more than a month. And we are talking about emailing here.

I really wanted to buy either one of these and they are selling at a bargain. If you are familiar with Kara B, you will know that their Metro backpacks are normally sold at online luggage stores at around US$80, excluding shipping.

Anyway, I didn’t get to buy a Kara B yet which is just as well. These Metro backpacks are a little larger than I prefer since my notebook is only 12” and these are made to fit notebooks with up to 15” screen.
