3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour Backpack

Below: 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour Backpack... now updated with a slimmer silhouette and cleaner lines... I love the design and size!

 Below: 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour Backpack in Cement looks amazing... the back of the backpack has these cool looking cris cross 'X' details which shows the design pays attention to all facets of the bag...

3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour Backpack

3.1 Phillip Lim embodies the lifestyle and attitudes of the urban male. Uncomplicated, edgy and always ahead of the style game. We have loved the 31 Hour Bag, which was designed with form and function in mind for every hour of the day. It has now evolved to be the brand’s classic and still very much adored.

So it was no surprise that a backpack for the 31 Hour series gets introduced to Phillip Lim’s accessories collection. Now updated with a slimmer hood, cleaner lines and a comfortable padded back, this backpack has all the thoughtful details and aesthetics to match the high demands of the style forward male. I love the quiet appeal and shape, inspired by familiar college backpacks but revisited for luxury. The cement grey colour looks especially appealing and I appreciate the roomy capacity with an interior zipper and 2 exterior pockets that helps to keep things organised. The interesting ‘X’ crisscross design for the shoulder straps also makes for a cool design statement, goes to show,  attention to design was being paid to all facets of the bag. With buttery soft leather that gets better with use, the 3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour Backpack is definitely an urban piece to consider, taking you places while looking good at the same time! Love it:-)

(Priced at USD1095 for the full grain cow leather version while a more affordable nylon and leather trim version retails for USD750. Size is 17”H x 13”W x 7”D)

5 Spring Summer 2014 Bags To Stake Out For During Sales

Below: With sale season starting for some brands and coming for others... it's time to plan what to buy! Here's my 5 picks I will be considering and staking out for when markdowns happens!:-P

Spring Summer 2014 End Of Season Sales Planning: 5 Bags To Stake Out For During Sales

With Spring Summer 2014 Fashion Season coming to its end... End of Season sales have already started for some brands and more to come over the next weeks.

So what are you planning to buy this time round? It does help to do some research and planning before hand so you end up with purchases not on impulse but on budget and according to plan.

My #1 rule for sale shopping... never buy anything you would not pay full price for even if it is super cheap. Buying because of steep discounts usually end up with regrets and you end up with a white elephant that will collect dust over the years. I learned this hard truth from years of sale shopping, and even an expert shopper like me, I do succumb to the lure of big markdowns.

Here’s my top 5 picks I will be staking out for. I chose them because I am feeling the prints and colours this Spring Summer 2014. And these bags will still be relevant even after this season is over. Florals never disappear from fashion when summer season comes. Givenchy’s techno afro print is visually interesting to warrant as art, art never dies. Camo prints are classics when it comes to mens fashion. Bright single hued soft leather bags can always fit any tropical vacations.

1) Givenchy Tech-Print Backpack - US$1,125
(Available at Mr Porter. I forsee these will be snapped up as soon as markdowns begin. So start stalking the site. Tip: US site always have their sales first.:-P)

2) 3.1 Phillip Lim Medium Side Zip Duffle - Now on SALE at US$595 from US$850
(I love this bag because of the brightly hued floral print. And armed with an optional shoulder strap, this colourful bag is great to take with you on your summer getaways. What sealed the deal is the lightning bolt emblem which injects personality and fun! Available at www.3.1philliplim.com

3) Ami Floral Print Backpack - US$286 (SGD360)
Again florals done in complimentary hues in khaki tones are great to inject flower power without coming across as too feminine. I love the front pocket for a casual no frills bag to take anywhere. Available at www.matchesfashion.com

4) Mismo M/S Nordic Camo print shopper - US$345 (SGD435)
Camouflage print with colour? YES! YES! YES! Good size to use as a tote or shoulder sling. Mismo makes functional bags and now the camo print just takes the design to a new fun level. I will be talking this for sure! Available at www.matchesfashion.com

5) Burberry Prorsum The Little Duffle in Nappa Leather - Now on SALE at SGD715 from SGD1195
Brightly hued in soft nappa leather... this sling shoulder backpack is useful for casual days or in my opinion, a beach vacation bag. I would choose this bottle green colour for it’s tropical feel. Will always make you wanna take a vacation! Available at Burberry e-store.

Below: Love summer prints and bright colours on these bags!

3.1 Phillip Lim Spring Summer 2013 'Cerulean Blue' 31 Hour Bag

I have a black version and can attest to it's appeal on guys:-) This Cerulean blue/Putty bi-colour version just reinforce the bag's desirability... (Pic below from Farfetch.com)

Below: A bag for busy city folks that can transition from day to night and place to place... This is the mens version featuring leather tab zipper pulls...

Below: The women's version is smaller but identical and features ball chain zipper pulls like those on the Pashli Satchel...

3.1 Phillip Lim '31 Hour' Bag

It's a rat race out there. We constantly feel there are not enough hours in the day to be at different places at different times. Switching bags for each of our schedule is out of the question. We need an effortless arm candy that let us carry our daily essentials around... an all purpose functional bag that can transition from day to night and place to place.

Introducing the 3.1 Phillip Lim '31 Hour' Bag. The perfect bag that addresses all these needs of busy city boys and girls in a supple slouchy nappa leather with a twist on proportion. Functional in form, timeless in design, with a signature fold over lip and large zipper closure to allow you to carry little or a lot for any occassion.

The Material Boy #489

Below: It's time to don some fur, 3.1 Phillip Lim style! Lynus Double Wrap Fur Bracelet adds some luxe appeal to your wrist:-)

Below: Or let Lynus Fur Key Ring enhance your bag's Fall Winter luxe appeal! Love the lapis colour (blue)...

3.1 Phillip Lim Lynus Fur Key Ring And Double Wrap Bracelets

Fall Winter 2011 is the season for all things furry. Fur accents are everywhere on ready-to-wear, accessories and bags. To stay on top of 2011 winter trends, it is imperative you need to don some fur these cooler months. I choose to accessorise instead of wearing fur all over myself, to spare me certain death by heat stroke in humid Singapore. So bag charms and accessories will be my foray into the fur frenzy for this FW2011.

If Céline's fox tail key ring prove to be too overwhelming (either your conscience strikes and empathy sets in for our furry friends due to actual fox fur fabrication or the pricing being too steep?), then I think I can offer a perfect alternative to your furry shopping hunt. Introducing 3.1 Phillip Lim's Lynus Fur Key Ring in 3 colours (Lapis, Absinthe and black). These little rabbit fur accessory (length of 8.5cm) can hang outside your precious bags and transform your bags from mundane to luxe winter. And no worries about breaking the bank for these little sweet furries, they cost a mere US$75 and should be easily afforded by anyone!

If bag accessory is not your cup of tea, then go for 3.1 Phillip Lim's Lynus Fur Double Wrap bracelets to accent your wrist. The luxurious fur will bring a new sense of sophistication to your style. Comes in lovely Black/red, Black, and Black/Absinthe combinations so you have no excuse for not being spoilt for choices. Again, at only US$125, it's not to be missed.

Get yours from Shopbop today!

Now for the bad news... unfortunately, due to the real rabbit fur fabrication, these accessories cannot be shipped outside of USA. Better befriend your US friends right now. These are times when friendships do count:-P

My MANy Bags Lookbook #26

Below: I want to make a stripey statement this Fall Winter 2011...

Stripe Statement

I have been thinking about statement trousers for the longest time. Something out of the convention of single coloured or common menswear patterns (such as checks, houndstooth etc). Something with a bit more zest and excitement.

Today, I spotted this pair of bright green 3.1 Phillip Lim Stripe Jacquard Trousers which got me inspired. I decided to build a look around it to see if I can convince myself to adopt the style.

Colour blocking was a dominant trend for SS2011... but bright hues managed to survive and Fall Winter 2011 remains the season for colours. These bright green trousers is timely to befit the ongoing colour trend and perfect as an opposing base for any basics. I decided to balance the 'bohemian' look of the trousers with a refined collegiate style, reminiscent of intellectual undergrads, playfully mixing it up with opposing pieces in their wardrobe.

For the top, I am keeping it smart with a 3.1 Phillip Navy blazer, grey wool knit sweater to rein in the intellectual aspect of college life. A Kitsuné stripe wool scarf also helps to add another level of Harvard flair.

To keep the stripe theme going, I choose Prada's Fall Winter 2011 thick soled brogues which features a striking white stripe across the sides and fun Paul Smith stripe pattern socks. It's truly a 'stripes united' moment!

I always believe no look is ever complete without a bag. So my bag of choice is Kitsuné's large canvas weekend bag that keeps to the college feel, functional and non pretentious. Finally, Lanvin's silk twill flower pin brooch completes the look with a welcoming dandy touch. Now, you are ready to charm the ladies and impress fellow gentlemen:-)

The Material Boy #472

Below: Remember this 3.1 Phillip Lim Leather Tote I blogged about a while ago? Apparently, this larger 'KC Leather Satchel' lookalike in the pic below is from the Fall Winter 2011 collection. No wonder I cannot find any information about the bag a couple of months back. I found out the name, thanks to a reader. The bag is called Pashli Satchel (Modelling pic from Garance Doré)

Below: The gorgeous Pashli Satchel comes in gorgeous Jade, Ink, Taupe and black colours. I absolutely love the zipper sides and chain details. A must have for next season:-P

3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel

Remember this '3.1 Phillip Lim KC Leather Satchel' lookalike I was coveting about a couple of months ago... but found that the SS2011 version was way too petite for guy's use? Garance Doré took a pic of a fashion editor carrying a larger forest green variant with chain details. But no one seem to know where that version came from. Well... the 'bag gods' (namely Style.com) have unveiled the mystery. Yes, they are definitely from 3.1 Phillip Lim... but they are from Fall Winter 2011 season instead of Spring Summer 2011. No wonder no one at the stores can enlighten me with more details, and neither thru researching online. But thanks to a reader, I got more information. The name of the bag is Pashli Satchel, which runs a range from totes to shoulder camera bags. The Pashli Satchel retails for USD895 (approx. SGD1185).


I am loving every aspect of the Pashli Satchel. From the textured leather, to the deep Fall Winter tones of Jade, Taupe, Black and Ink, to the interesting gold tone side zippers with metal chain pulls, I cannot fault the design. Some people may feel the bag resembles a cross between the ever popular 'schoolboy' bags (the likes of Alexa and PS1) and Céline... I strongly feel the bag stands out with its own personality.

Below: Love the ink blue colour as well...

I can't wait for this gorgeous bag to debut in stores. They are hot on my buying list, especially the green version. I just hope the size will be large enough for guys:-P 3.1 Phillip Lim has many bags that is sure to win you over for Fall Winter 2011. So keep a lookout for this fast rising Amercian brand:-) Available for pre-order at Nordstrom. If not, wait for the bag to hit Singapore's 3.1 Phillip Lim store.

Street Peeping: Bags On The Streets

Yet another edition of a summary of bags springing up around the world's most fashionable cities. For this edition, I pleased to find new designs besides the usual classics of Céline Luggage Tote, PS1 Bags and Balenciaga Arena Bags.

New comers such as 3.1 Phillip Lim's KC Leather Satchel are on my 'to-watched' list. A new larger version is due for Fall Winter 2011... and I am already putting it onto my 'must-buy' list. Prada's Saffiano Leather Executive Totes, deemed the 'Prada-kin (Prada's lesser next of kin to the Birkin)' is also spotted on the arms of fashion fans more and more. I have seen many women toting this style even in Singapore. Balenciaga's Lune Bag is a new surprise for me, as I am so used to the Arena Studs Motorcycle family of bags, that this understated gem is often left to the back of your mind. The Lune Bag is gorgeous in propotion and has a certain Céline luggage tote flair (but debuted way earlier than the luggage tote). And finally, a pic of a guy with a Proenza Schouler PS1 Bag in extra large format. Now I am very tempted to get a PS1!

What's your pick? Which bags have you been carrying or spotting on your part of the world?

The Material Boy #457

Below: Monday obsession... something to give Christian Louboutin's spikey creations a run for its money...

Love this 3.1 Phillip Lim Studded Wristlet!

Spikey Infatuations: 3.1 Phillip Lim Studded Wristlet

Christian Louboutin is the 'culprit' for getting every fashionista crazy about anything and everything studs. Bad boy/girl attitudes never looked this desirable until Christian Louboutin gifted the fashion world with his TDF Rollerball (Rollerboy for girls), Spiked Louis and Freddy Flats shoes. Now we are obsessed and cannot get enough of it.

Today I am ready to extend my love for spikes beyond those red soles. Finally a piece of accessory worthy of a match to those Louboutins. Presenting 3.1 Phillip Lim's super 'badass' but oh so dangerously cool Studded Wristlet! I love the idea of a small wallet that you can hang around your hands... with that spikey hand strap! It's similar to wearing a knuckle buster, tough and ready to kick some butt! Watch out pick pockets... meddle at your own risk:P

Below: Gorgeous when worn! Love the studded hand strap.. comes in black! (Pic from Burbailey)

Shane from Burbailey got himself a gorgeous all black leather version (Cool stuff! I want one too!), but Net-a-porter stocks a grey suede option which looks equally stunning.
3.1 Phillip Lim's Studded Wristlet measures 5 cm (D), 12.5 cm(H) and 10 cm (W). Retails for £264.09 (w/o VAT) here.

Below: 3.1 Phillip Lim's K.C. Leather Satchel features zipper sides like those on Céline's Leather Cabas! Even more fabulous when you add a chain to the zipper pulls like the pic above:-)

3.1 Phillip Lim K.C. Leather Satchel

Fab bag alert! If you are having an overdose of Céline's highly sought after Luggage Tote, how about a new style that can be a match for Céline's masculine feminine appeal? 3.1 Phillip Lim's K.C. Leather Satchel is here for the 'rescue'...

I love the K.C. leather satchel in bright green, with it's zipper sides and push lock closure. The bag is structured in shape and even features a shoulder strap for hands free days! Love the way the bag looks so effortless when the zipper sides are down... attached a chain (not included) on the zipper pulls and the bag becomes even more fabulous!

Net-a-porter stocks the black version for £646.56 here. I love it! 3.1 Phillip Lim is getting better and better each season:-P (This bag is also available at 3.1 Phillip Lim store at Hilton Hotel, Singapore. Price at SGD1510.)
