Bagaholicboy News #133 – Burberry Sale!
I think the e-flyer pretty much speaks for itself, but in case anyone can’t see it, Burberry will be having their sale from 4 February 2010 to 7 February 2010 at Singapore Expo. Discounts will start from as low as 30% to as high as 80% so expect huge crowds and lots of jostling.
Besides cash and credit cards be sure to bring the following as well: a bottle of mineral water (keeping hydrated is key), an umbrella (helps to ‘poke’ people out of the way) and most importantly a trusted friend/relative (to prevent impulse buys).
And before I sign off, here’s a quick update on the Gucci Paravanda Frida collection. Gucci will start accepting reservations (100% payment required) on the Gucci Paravanda Frida Special Edition Boston from this Saturday (6 February 2010), and with just only 78 pieces priced at SGD1280 I’d expect to be gone in a heartbeat.
What’s more, if you go early enough you will even get the chance to choose the serial number you prefer. Each bag will also have the words ‘Singapore Exclusive’ embossed on the interior.

ooh. very nearby! and very tempting!
i bet people will start queuing really early!
Very tempted indeed. I will skip school for this if needed, want to see what I can get there! Thanks for posting it here, BB!
I will pretend I did not just see your comment. Heh…
cash and credit? no nets?
I’m sure they do!
is it like a warehouse sale?
Yes it is!
I’m so going to go there on friday!
Hi BB, what about the Applique Boston? No reservations accepted for that one?
As far as I know, they have already been placed out to interested parties.
gonna be cheap?
oh BB! Thank you for posting this. I really wanna check it out tmr but i’ve school till 4! I think I should pop by after school since expo is soooo near my home!
Thanks for informing!
anyone went there already? how was it? worth it to troop down to expo?
I reached there at around 3pm and queued for 1 hour before getting in. Heard from my friends the queue in the morning was 2 hours? There is quite a variety for females, from bags, to heels, to belts, to sunnies, to clothes of course. Guys polos, shirts, tees <– nothing much. Except for the coats. Sales prices are awesome. Queued for 1 hour at cashier tho.
Hi BB, I went for the sale today and reached at 1020 am! Still, had to queue for 1hr to get in!
It is better to come early n camp outside the entrance, than to wait long long outside.
A mad rush to grab the items! I bought the blazer from just the previous season for only $300, regular price tag $3600. The house check wool sweater was $180 after 80% off $900.
Everything is reasonably marked down, except for a limited quantity of polo tees for both genders. Ties are going for $80. It’s a must-go, many people were grabbing the multitude of trench coats on sale too!
OMG. I am so moving back to singapore.
I went by this morning, and there was no queue at all. I got a pair of FW 2008 dark brown men’s dress shoes for 200 bucks originally priced at a thousand! Great bargain. I also have seen teddy bears for 40, umbrellas for 100, and warrior bags for the ladies.
Worth checkin out!
Thanks for sharing!
