Reebonz Space - The GSS Sale

Of the many Sale events organised by Reebonz, I've never for once been to them mainly due to their event period always fell on weekdays. For this GSS, I was glad I happened to be on leave to attend.

It was my first trip to Reebonz Space, where Reebonz held their Sale for many luxury brands' products. Upon entering their Sale, they first gave a $100 gift voucher to all those who RSVP to this event.

Seems generous ya? There's a catch. Spend at least $1,000 and you get to mobilise this voucher.

Friends warned me to reach earlier for fret of long entry queues and big crowd and I heeded their advices. I reached 15 minutes before the actual opening time of the event but was surprised it was already opened for business. No QUEUE, hehehe! That gave me quite a leeway to check on the bags before the crowd started flooding in.

Frankly, I was pretty lost for a short while back there. There were just too many products to look at! After browsing briefly around the place, I settled over at the shelves where they placed all Prada bags to check them out. I was literally jumping with joy when I saw the Saffiano Lux collection displayed in front of me but at the same time, I was dismayed at their colours, for none was what I wanted!

I also checked out Miu Miu bags and after browsing for just 2 minutes, none caught my eye. Brought it down, hang it over my arms and it felt so right in place, as if it was already mine! To ensure it'll not be snatched by another customer, I held it with me while I browsed through other bags.

I believe I might have gone back and forth between Prada and Miu Miu many times while I was there to decide which bag (or bags) I wanted to buy. There were many others available as well, such as Dior, Chanel, Celine, Mulberry, Kate Spade, Coach, YSL, Burberry and more. After an hour of browsing and decision-making, I decided to bring home 2 bags - 1 Miu Miu and 1 Marc Jacobs which I was lucky to find 10 minutes before I wanted to cash out.

You know, this sale was conducted on a weekday, or rather, it was a weekday when I went for it. Not only that, I went on a lunch hour. To see such crowd and queue at the cashier was totally unexpected...

They pretty much sacrificed their lunchtime for this! The queue at the cashier was more horrifying. Perhaps too many people had too many questions about the products, thus they asked while paying. With most paying by cards, the queue moved even slower...

And yes, it was impossible for the queue to move anywhere faster also cause there's only 2 counters! I think this queue took me close to 30 minutes waiting.

Left the event with 2 bag loot, rather expensive ones, and carried them around for the rest of the day. The size of its paper bag was so huge, I felt silly carrying it, haha!

That's just one of them. The other was carried by my precious hubby who accompanied me to the event. Really appreciate his help in carrying the bag for me or else I might just look like a fool carrying 2 big paper bags walking around....

So...with my achievement at the sale event, I am now...

Check out my bags in details bought from Reebonz Sale, Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs!

Miu Miu and Marc by Marc Jacobs

I have two bags recently added to my bag collection from Reebonz Sale (which I'll blog separately) and here are my 2 beautiful victory loot!

Miu Miu Vitello Caribu - Double Zip
Saw this baby almost right from the beginning when I stepped into the Sale. Being made in calfskin material, the touch of the bag is so smooth & pleasant! Not only that, it comes with a sling strap so I can sling it on my shoulder should I feel tired from hand-carrying it! By the way, this year's bag trend tend to all come in straps.

Some may not find this anywhere unique or exclusive due to its colour being black, I do like the fact that it IS black. being the type of person who will go all careful and cautious when bringing a luxury bag out for fret of dirtying it, I won't need to worry that much when the bag is in black ^^.

So how much did this Miu Miu bag cost me? Retail price of this baby was going at $2,100. After a 20% discount and $100 voucher from Reebonz Sale + a further 5% discount using Mastercard for payment, she only cost me $1,520! That's a good $580 discount in total! I must say, it's a real steal! I have yet to bring this lovely bag out but I believe it won't be long. :D

Marc by Marc Jacobs - Rubber Croc Tote
Another steal I bought from the Sale will be my Marc Jacobs tote bag! Its croc-embossed design on the tote simply caught my eye! It was a daring buy from me though I usually hate to buy light-coloured bags precisely for fret of dirtying it, and feel damn guilty about it. However, this tote bag is in an unique shade of nude which made me re-consider. of course, price factor is another reason why I just simple bought it that day.

After going at a 40% discount from Reebonz Sale + an additional 5% discount from Mastercard, this large-size tote only cost me $200! For a Marc Jacobs bag of this size, $200 is really a snatch! This bag may turn out to be my work bag afterall, hehehe!

I will love to own another bag anytime but getting hold of them without further damaging my pocket should be a wiser move! Cheers to Sale!
