My One of a Kind Red Bag~*

Women can never have enough handbags, jewelry and clothes. The more, the merrier. You know I have been rambling, dreaming and hunting bag after bag like crazy this year. In my entire life, I don't remember spending or to be exact dumping (or "investing" if that makes me feel a bit better) this much on such things..really. What the heck is going on in my little head?!?!

My crazy journey starts with Chanel Mini Classic Flap in Metallic Lambskin and a month later another Dior Panerea in beige happlily came home with mama. Deep inside those little brain cells, I want one extra bag in black.....ooooh what about red!??!?! Do I ever have red bag? Do I?!?!? Boy - I forgot that I do!!!

My wooden red bag (BAG not BOX :D). I dare to say that it is one of a kind, there are not many available in the world and it is almost 10 years old. I guess I can say she is a vintage bag, perhaps? She doesn't have any label, no name or whatsoever because she was made from scratch and real wood, hand painted in red with some pattern on top (just don't remember what type of wood). This bag has a nice wieght to it but not to the point that it weights my shoulder down badly.

I found her during a shopping spree with my BFF in 2002 when I still lived in Bangkok. My BFF got one in black and I got one in red. We are bag twins!! We did take our bags on a spin on many occasions. I managed to remember to bring her to the US with me a few years later because she is so unique...she is one of a kind and everytime I look at her, she reminds me of my best friend.

She was not expesive when I got her but she holds so much sentimental value. I can never let her go. When I first moved to the US, I wrapped and put her in on of the closets to keep her safe and totally forgot about it....until I thought about red bag....somehow a vivid memory displayed in my head. I have had red bag all along and she is here the whole time. The best part, I don't have to spend a penny! On another thought, I can probably use her as a self defense tool..lol...she sure comes in handy.
