Back To School with SWAN

My mom has been buying SWAN school bags for me when I was a teenager. My school mates were always jealous of my beautiful and functional SWAN school bags. Now that I am a parents of two girls, I want to give the same good quality SWAN products to my girls too.

Since the kids can finally go back to school physically in full force. To their surprise, I have ordered the SWAN Easy Pac Backpack with Personalization, Tuition Bag, drawing art bag and lunch bag for them to bring to their schools and tuition centre.

My girls love the SWAN Easy Pac Backpacks with Personalization because they are customized with their initial. The size is just nice, made it easy to carry around.

While the tuition bags are big enough to store their books, exercise books and stationery.

How to Look Good This Year of The Rat

The Chinese New Year festival is just a few days away! It's time to letting our accessories and shoes do the talking this Year of the Rat. If you haven’t already, it’s time to venture away from looking like a red packet for Chinese New Year. Take a peek into Bata's limited seasonal collection for inspiration and statement pieces to build your outfits around.

While doing my CNY outfits shopping at Suria KLCC not long ago, I was attracted by Bata store. There is a wide range of selection available for us to choose from. From shoes, sneakers, sandals, bags, wallets and many more, there is something for the whole family at Bata.

As we all know, Bata specializes in the creation of high-quality footwear and accessories that is affordably priced. My family is loyal customer of Bata especially for it's shoes because they are really comfortable and versatile to wear to any occasions.

After having fun trying the latest pair of shoes there, I have finally picked a pair of pink heels that's perfect for the coming Chinese New Year. It is very reasonably priced at only RM 99 a pair. I like that the pink heels has a classic and clean design that can be worn for both casual or business meeting.

Luggage/Bag Repair Service in Kuala Lumpur

What would you do if your luggage or bag was broken? For a shopaholic like me it's a good excuse to buy new ones but sometimes you just can't buy the same luggage or bag anymore.

I have been carrying the michael kors sling bag for years. I like it's sleek design and I can put almost everything in it with the big compartment. However, it felt on the floor inside Starhill Gallery while I was walking around the shopping mall last month. When I picked it up and checked, oh no, the strap was broken!

I quickly walked over to the michael kors store at Pavilion KL to ask the staff for maintenance. According to the sales girl, it takes a month or two to fix and it would cost from RM 130 to 200. Wow, I can almost buy a new bag (with sales) with that price. However, they have discontinued the model that I like and I don't really fancy the new designs.

When I told Johnson about it, he adviced me to look for the bag repair at Jalan Pudu. When I did some research on the Cheong Pudu Bag Repair, I found that it is located in Jalan Pudu, amidst the busy streets of KL(a few shops next to majestic pudu hotel). You can see a green and white signboard that reads “Kedai Membaiki Beg” (Bag Repair Shop) hung above the shop.

The shop was founded by an old uncle and run with his youngest son. Cheong Pudu Bag Repair has more than 20 years of bag repair experience.
