RABEANCO

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ unboreddiva: Just read this post of yours and also went to read about how you came across the Rabeanco satchel as an alternative to the PS1. I am so inspired. I am on my way to purchase a new PS1, but after having read through your post, I shall hold off the purchase and see if I can get a nice satchel from Rabeanco, too!!! Thank you!!!

[unboreddiva]

insanelypurpleprincess you will love the leather! And you can buy more pa from your PS1 budget  Please share your photos!

[insanelypurpleprincess]

unboreddiva, will surely do once I get one or two or more. Thanks again!!! Have an awesome summer ahead!

mga sis, same ba talaga price ng rabeanco bags dito and hongkong?  i have a trip to hk next month and planning to get one there if cheaper.

I bought the small Alexandra (?) bag in off-white, parang nude na siya. Ang ganda, lalo na pag naka fold yung dalawang sides! Gamit na gamit ko hihi. For the quality, I believe it's considered very cheap at P7850.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Nice choice! I saw this na and it truly comes in a very nice color. Though it's something I can't have for myself because di talaga ako careful with light colored bags. Nonetheless, I am sure you'll love it. The smell of leather is to die for!!!

[roxyhart]

^ Agree on the smell of the leather part! I can't stop sniffing it  Also, I'm really in love with the bag. I have only changed bags a few times since I bought this hehe. The size is very practical too, kahit small lang binili ko. It's my version of carry all now.

As for the maintenance, I gotta buy a leather conditioner son. Leather cleaner, I have already. Medyo tricky nga siguro i-maintain because of it's color, but so far, after a month of almost daily usage, it has stayed immaculate! 

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Just imagining the smell of leather made me think why I didn't use my Rabeanco today. Anyway, I'm most excited for the weekend trip to HK, so I get to look at what's new. Last one I got kasi was in May during a trip to Singapore. Hopefully, I stumble upon something else this weekend.

Yeah, do what you can to protect the bag and to keep it as new looking as possible. With me, regardless of the bag type and brand --- talagang hirap ako sa light colored ones, so I simply just stay away from them. I hope for the day na kaya ko to keep things "immaculate" despite usage.

I love my small alexandra (blithe) in pink. It's lightweight and I really like the smell of the leather. Parang gusto ko pa bumili nang ibang color

i checked the SM Aura branch.. i love their bags! now i'm contemplating to get 1 satchel design. 

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ You should! I am visiting Manila soon, I want to check out the store in SM Aura!!!

[unboreddiva]

sis insanelypurpleprincess what did you get pala? ang ganda no?

i want to buy a new one from them pero each time I went there last year wala ako magustuhan. I've been looking for the medium satchel in coral for so long pero wala na yata talaga yon. Even in HKG wala. 

[insanelypurpleprincess]

sis unboreddiva, I got the Reportorial Satchel in blue since it matches our uniform top.. haha.. got this in Singapore last May 2014. After that, got naman the Bonham in purple!

[prisma]

Bought a red one in Singapore.

Can't believe how cheap it is with the quality leather it has.

It smells divine!! And the red color is gorgeous.

[unboreddiva]

The Repertorial is the one I have in military green. Ang ganda din ng Bonham. Wala pa silang names when I bought mine in 2013 

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ How these things evolve talaga! Sobrang ganda ng design talaga ng satchel that even Forever 21 has bags that somehow look the same, pero super stiff lang nung material nila. As for Bonham, it's too pretty also. Now, I am looking at getting another Rabeanco that's in a bucket bag form, suppose I find one. Perhaps, when I go to China for Chinese New Year

[unboreddiva]

Inggit ako! Wala na akong budget for a new one

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ The year has just started anyway, so more opportunities to save up for a new one. This budget I have I sourced lang from letting go of a few bag pieces that I eventually realized were no longer "my thing". Oh how taste and things change as we age!

Got me a Rabeanco Satchel na Fold over bag from their SM Aura Branch. I don't know the model name pero lambskin leather sya na malambot. Angganda ng bags nila! Oh no this could be a start of an addiction.. :<



May bago akong crush dun. Yun Hobo Bag na nagiging back pack. So nice!

Ask ko lang mga bag enthusiasts, I got the light- colored lambskin kasi. Any tips para sa pag- aalaga sa kanya? Sabi ng SA's yun effect daw nya kapag tumagal parang nagiging vintage but I'm afraid parang mas madali kasi sya magasgas ang lambot kasi and smooth. Narerestore ba siya if ever marami na gasgas? Nagcocommute pa naman ako so matetest ko yun tibay nya pero sayang kasi kung kapag tumagal puro scratches na :<

[insanelypurpleprincess]

Ireneeeeee, sis I wish I can help you with your dilemma about light colored lambskin.. unfortunately, I don't own anything that is light colored.. And I also try to stay away from lambskin as much as I can. I am not "maalaga" enough to really maintain the beauty of the bag, so maybe, I can only suggest todo ingat na lang and consciousness when commuting. Rabeanco leather is just too die for, so I am with you on that, indeed!
