This pink purse has been with me for the longest time. It is easily more than 10 years old. When I first clapped eyes on it at the Mooks store in Bali, I was quite taken with the bright fuchsia tone and made the purchase in a heartbeat. Just look at the worn and sorry state it is now. I wonder how it is that I keep buying clothes, shoes, bags, yet it has strangely never occurred to me to get a new purse or a wallet. Okay, I am not exactly a wallet girl just because with all that junks I so love to collect, the wallet would soon turn into a little fat, bulging thingamajig. That would be a most ugly sight to whip out from a bag!
The closest thing to a wallet which I truly need and pine for is a cardholder. But well, if you know me enough, you will discover that I am also a very lazy person. I just never get down to actually shop for one. Since a long time, I've relayed the intention to the Lion of buying a cardholder from her as I trust her expertise in this area. And the best thing is, that would spare me the hassle of looking high and low for that perfect cardholder. Haha! I am shameless like that! Alas, the Lion is a very busy human (aka forgetful), I didn't get to buy that cardholder from her. Yet. One should not give up hope so easily, right? I am still waiting very patiently. Heh.
Hell no! I am not hinting to anyone to get me one. I maybe shameless but not that shameless. I can still very well afford to buy a cardholder for myself. Thank you very much.
And then the roving Mammon eyes spy a whimsicality that is this.
The splash of colours would be so fun to pull out of the bag that it already brightens up my day just by feasting the eyes on it. Yes, I am enamored with this impish money bag already.
But. It would make me a tad uneasy if I do click the BUY button because the man is going to cry bloody murder! Sure, it is my own moolah and all and I surely do not need the man's go-ahead to shop. Still, as much as I hate to, I have to concede that I have crossed the shopping line way too far in recent months.
Then again, full leather at an alright price, the weak willpower has me somewhat swayed towards you-know-what. Plus I am incorrigibly NOT a Stella-McCartney vegan fashionista.
Well, if I do feel brave one of these days, I might just show the man the sad purse and suss out his thoughts on its wretched state.
Let's just hope he doesn't get to read this before I do all that. Lol!
