ReplyDeleteKevin, I LOVE it! Congrats so much man!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alvin and Nathan:-) This is one of those bags that has luck on my side to find. Was not expecting to get this bag at all when I sent my friend scouting for it in HK. It just so happened. I was really surprised.
ReplyDeleteThe bag is just the right size for me...I LVoe it! Not too big and bulky.
Kevin, you must be so ecstatic to finally own the bag!! It's really to die for! Congrats! ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW I REALLY LOVE IT.............CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW PURCHASE.IT IS SO "MILITARY" THEME.YE PE,I LIKE IT
ReplyDeletei think this was meant to be. congrats!!!! the Treillis is just fantastic. i've never been this nuts about a bag before.
ReplyDeletethank you everyone! Yes, I am ecstatic to be owning this bag. It's so nice! I love it. The style is just so easy to go with lots of things.
ReplyDeleteBut one little bag mishap (again! Oh darn, wonder why I am so unlucky). I discovered a little abrasion on the cowhide leather portion of the handle. needle hole size peeling off of the top layer of the leather. It's very minor. Cannot really tell. But since it is new..I just dun feel happy about it.:-( I am fussy on new bags. So I went to LV DFS Scottswalk to see what can be done. They will get back to me on the availability of spare parts, that leather strip and what is the process of the replacement. So we shall see what happens. Anyways, the cowhide leather will get stains and scratches easily since it is the handles. Which is the most high stress area of the bag. So I am not really too upset. If it can be replaced...that is the best. But I am sure it can be replaced, just the timing.:-) I will still use the bag. It's gorgeous!
And thanks Nathaniel, yes, I did it! hahaha. Ala SATC...and I was being a bit more creative for the post. glad you like it.
And Mr Duck...I am officially a member of the Treillis club! hehe.

ReplyDeleteSeems the treillis is indeed off the racks in Singapore. just called LV this morning. There is one display piece in NAC...but that is not for sale. LV do not sell display pieces. Strange eh? :-P
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Treillis!! It really looks great on you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the Treillis Bag despite a minor flaw on the leather of one of the handles.:-P Love your blog:-) too! I am a newly converted LV fan:-P
ReplyDeleteHi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI am currently really interested in buying Treillis bag after seeing your blog and mission :)
However, I could not find anywhere in Australia so I ended up looking on eBay. I am just wondering is Treillis bag supposed to come with date code? If yes, where can I find it? There is one seller claimed that the bag does not have one, so I am abit worried that I am buying the replica one. I will really appreciate your help. Thank you! Love you blog!
Hi Trash Star,
ReplyDeleteinside one of the internal pockets on the side there is a leather tag stitched to the side. It has some numbers debossed onto the leather tab. Is that the date stamp?
I assume that is. SO ask the seller to take a pic of that and send to you:-) Hope you get a authentic treillis bag! And a word of caution, there are indeed fakes available online for sale.
