			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://bagaholicboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bbre36_chanel.jpg" alt="" title="" width="397" height="425" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19901" /> &#8216;Is it February already&#8217; will probably be what most of you will be asking yourselves today, especially since it feels like just yesterday that we were still opening our Christmas gifts and indulging in Lunar New Year feasts. Still, time and tide wait for no man, and while you can&#8217;t turn back time and do it all over again, you can check out this post and see what you missed out on this blog in the month of January.</p>
<p><strong>01</strong>. It was a busy month for me as far as adding new bags to my collection was concerned. For the month of January, it was all about colourful and roomy totes, and I ended up with the <strong><a href="http://sg.burberry.com/store/mens-accessories/ss12-runway-accessories/bags/prod-38111371-large-sunburst-print-tote/" target="_blank">Burberry Prorsum Large Sunburst Print Tote</a></strong>, <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=IJzCMNrJckE&amp;amp;subid=&amp;amp;offerid=207353.1&amp;amp;type=10&amp;amp;tmpid=6888&amp;amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.net-a-porter.com%2Fproduct%2F180780" target="_blank">along with this coated canvas tote from Pierre Hardy</a>. The Rolex I&#8217;m eyeing will just have to wait a little longer then.</p>
<p><strong>02</strong>. With Valentine&#8217;s Day just around the corner, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/12/valentines-2012-womens-chanel/" target="_blank">here are some gift ideas you should check out from the likes of Chanel</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/12/valentines-2012-womens-louis-vuitton/" target="_blank">Louis Vuitton</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/valentines-2012-womens-prada/" target="_blank">and Prada</a>. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/bagaholicboy-likes-28-for-the-love-of-hearts/" target="_blank">You can also check this post out if your loved one is obsessed with hearts</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/goldheart-celestial-embracia-collection/" target="_blank">as well as the <em>Celestial Embracia</em> collection from Goldheart</a>.</p>
<p><strong>03</strong>. For those of you who are flush with takings from your red packets over CNY, here&#8217;s a quick suggestion on what you could be buying for yourself. From the quilted leather tome from Chanel to those drool-worthy Givenchy sandals, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/bagaholicboy-likes-27-10-things-you-could-buy-with-your-red-packet-money/" target="_blank">there&#8217;s pretty much something for everyone</a>. For those who want to get themselves some dragon paraphernalia, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/bagaholicboy-likes-26-year-of-the-dragon/" target="_blank">check out this post</a>.</p>
<p><strong>04</strong>. From the odd to absolutely quirky, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/jil-sander-transparent-shopper/" target="_blank">here are the acetate totes from Jil Sander</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/louis-vuitton-transparent-lockit/" target="_blank">the S/S12 transparent <em>Lockit</em></a>, as well as the <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/furla-glitter-candy-bag-in-rose-pink/" target="_blank"><strong>Furla Glitter Candy</strong> Bag</a> that&#8217;s also quite perfect for Valentine&#8217;s Day. Let&#8217;s not forget the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/proenza-schouler-tiki-clutch/" target="_blank">Proenza Schouler Tiki Clutch</a></strong>, as well as the pieces from the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/longchamp-mary-katrantzou-collection/" target="_blank">Longchamp + Mary Katrantzou</a></strong> collaboration.</p>
<p><strong>05</strong>. If a classic piece is what you want to start the new year with, do check out the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/3-1-phillip-lim-31-hour-collection/" target="_blank">3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Hour</a> </strong>collection, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/proenza-schouler-ps11-mini-satchel/" target="_blank">the <em>PS1 Mini Satchel</em> from Proenza Schouler</a>, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/coach-new-willis/" target="_blank">Coach New Willis</a></strong>, as well as most of the bags from the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/cruise-2012-womens-chanel/" target="_blank">Cruise 2012 Womens Chanel</a></strong> collection. You can thank me 10 years from now when you&#8217;re still using the bags.</p>
<p><strong>06</strong>. I haven&#8217;t forgotten the boys either. Want pieces that are not too expensive yet classic or fun? Then check out the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/the-search-for-the-perfect-manbag-80-lotuff-clegg-leather-working-tote/" target="_blank">Lotuff &amp; Clegg Working Leather Tote</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/coach-hugo-guinness-limited-edition-collection/" target="_blank">Coach + Hugo Guinness</a></strong> collection respectively. Also for the boys, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/burberry-prorsum-vibrant-woven-duffle-bag/" target="_blank">Burberry Prorsum Vibrant Duffle Bag</a></strong>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/givenchy-mens-nightingale/" target="_blank">the <em>Nightingale</em> from Givenchy</a>, as well as the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/alfred-dunhill-biometric-wallet/" target="_blank">Alfred Dunhill Biometric Wallet</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>07</strong>. As always, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/bagaholicboy-news-219-ss12-colours-for-longchamp/" target="_blank">here is your seasonal colour guide for the <strong>Longchamp Le Pliage</strong> collection</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/bagaholicboy-news-216-ss12-colours-for-balenciaga/" target="_blank">as well as the S/S12 colour chart for Balenciaga</a>.

<p><strong>08</strong>. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/spring-summer-2012-womens-chanel-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">My favourite ad campaign so far has to be from Chanel</a>, in particular the one with the <em>Boy</em> hanging off the model hanging off the high bar. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/spring-summer-2012-womens-miu-miu-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">Also check out more campaigns from the likes of Miu Miu</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2012/01/mulberry-travel-day-bag/" target="_blank">as well as from Mulberry featuring the new S/S11 <em>Travel Day Bag</em></a>.</p>

This is also the time we look forward to the year ahead, making resolutions (that will hopefully be followed through) and generally telling yourself you&#8217;ll do better in all areas of your life for the next 365 days.</p>
<p>While I&#8217;ve had an excellent year as far as the blog is concerned, I am thankful for all the support and love you guys have given me.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18838" src="http://bagaholicboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bbre34_louis-vuitton.jpg" alt="" width="397" height="456" /> How time flies. Just 24 more days to go and it shall be Christmas, the one day of the year where extravagant gifting and extreme gluttony is encouraged. For those of you who haven&#8217;t already decided on what bag (or SLG) to gift your loved ones this X&#8217;mas, fret not.</p>
<p>This month&#8217;s instalment of <em>Bagaholicboy Reminisces</em> takes a look at all the best bags, SLGs and other bits that were featured in the month of November, along with some other highlights you should have a look at if you already haven&#8217;t.</p>
<p><strong>01</strong>. There were not 1, but two instalments of <em>Bagaholicboy Likes</em> in November, featuring 20 different festive gift ideas. If you&#8217;re looking for something extravagant in hues of green and gold, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/bagaholicboy-likes-23-green-gold/" target="_blank">do check out this spread which contains an exotic crocodile bag from Louis Vuitton</a>, jewellery from Cartier and Goldheart, as well as an incredibly cute duck pendant from Mondial. If your man is into monochromatic colours, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/bagaholicboy-likes-24-men-in-black/" target="_blank">have a look at <em>Men In Black</em>, featuring SLGs and accessories no dapper guy should be without</a>.</p>
<p><strong>02</strong>. And that&#8217;s not all. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/chanel-holiday-2011-collection/" target="_blank">Have a look at holiday collections put together by the likes of Chanel</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/loewe-holiday-2011-collection/" target="_blank">Loewe</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/louis-vuitton-holiday-2011-collection/" target="_blank">Louis Vuitton</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/prada-holiday-2011-collection/" target="_blank">and Prada</a>, where I&#8217;ve picked some of my favourite pieces for your viewing pleasure. Coincidentally enough, both Loewe and Louis Vuitton have circus-themed X&#8217;mas decorations up this year. Check out their respective windows at Ngee Ann City.</p>
<p><strong>03</strong>. Speaking of interesting displays, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/chanel-midnight-in-paris/" target="_blank">don&#8217;t forget to pop by Chanel at Ngee Ann City before 4 December 2011 to check out theirs as well</a>. The typically beige interior of the Chanel boutique is now blanketed with a backdrop of scintillating walls, with a lighted silhouette of Place Vendome, complete with street lamps.</p>
<p><strong>04</strong>. More gifting ideas come in the form of these interesting designer collaborations, such as snow globes, playing cards, a surf board and even a CD compilation. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/ask-the-bagaholicboy-119-unique-designer-gifts-for-xmas-and-other-bits/" target="_blank">Check out the post for more details</a>. The snow globes are already sold out in Singapore, by the way.</p>
<p><strong>05</strong>. Bags you could have missed out in the month of November include the <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/alexander-wang-dalmatian-rafael/" target="_blank">Alexander Wang&#8217;s <em>Dalmatian Rafael</em></a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/alexander-wang-prisma-ipad-case/" target="_blank">as well as his<em> Prisma</em> iPad Case</a>, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/burberry-prorsum-tonal-raffia-bowling-bag/" target="_blank">Burberry Prorsum Tonal Raffia Bowling Bag</a></strong>, an update on the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/update-chanel-boy-collection/" target="_blank">Chanel Boy</a></strong>, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/fendi-color-fendista-collection/" target="_blank">Fendi Color Fendista</a></strong> collection and the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/11/zatchels-kaleidoscope-satchel/" target="_blank">Zatchels Kaleidoscope Satchel</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>06</strong>.

For the boys, here&#8217;s the <em><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/08/louis-vuitton-damier-infini-porte-documents-voyage/" target="_blank">Damier Infini Porte-Documents Voyage</a> </em>and the <em><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/08/louis-vuitton-cuir-indra-portfolio/" target="_blank">Cuir Indra Portfolio</a>. </em><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/08/louis-vuitton-la-belle-jardinere/" target="_blank">And here&#8217;s the post about the designer honey I mentioned earlier</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16442" src="http://bagaholicboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/bbre30_burberry.jpg" alt="" width="397" height="514" /> Another month, another post for <em>Bagaholicboy Reminisces</em> for all things bag-related (as well as a little on everything else) for the month of July. This post is also especially poignant, since it means that with this entry it will officially be 1 August 2011, which also happens to be the blog&#8217;s 4th anniversary.</p>
<p>Before I get all sappy and sentimental about how I enjoyed blogging which has so far gone on for 1460 days, let&#8217;s just jump straight into the post at hand.</p>
<p><strong>01</strong>. Givenchy featured heavily on the blog for the month of July, and with good reason. The F/W11 is in a word, stunning and if you need proof, just check out these posts. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/07/fall-winter-2011-givenchy-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">From the gorgeous scarves</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/07/givenchy-evening-print-clutch/" target="_blank">to the evening clutches</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/07/bagaholicboy-likes-17-back-to-black/" target="_blank">along with everything else in-between</a>.

<p><strong>06</strong>. The honour of the month&#8217;s most popular post (that was viewed over 4500 times, by the way) goes to Balenciaga. More specifically, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/07/bagaholicboy-news-202-fw11-colours-for-balenciaga/" target="_blank">a post on their bags and SLGs&#8217; colour palette for F/W11</a>.</p>

Check out &#8216;<a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/07/bagaholicboy-likes-17-back-to-black/" target="_blank">Back To Black</a>&#8216;, and &#8216;<a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/07/bagaholicboy-likes-15-the-devil-is-in-the-details/" target="_blank">The Devil Is In The Details</a>&#8216;.</p>

The second in the series from &#8216;A Woman&#8217;s Tales&#8217;, it is beautiful and cryptic (and even a tad creepy) all at once.</p>
<p>Also, <a href="http://vimeo.com/26755836" target="_blank">have a look at what went down during Miu Miu&#8217;s F/W11 event in Shanghai which I had the honour to attend on 14 July</a>. Enjoy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15782" src="http://bagaholicboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/bbre29_burberry.jpg" alt="" width="397" height="567" /> With the Great Singapore Sale out of the way, it is time to wait expectantly as F/W11&#8242;s best start trickling into local stores. Whatever you&#8217;ve had your eye on, start checking with the brand&#8217;s respective SA to avoid missing out, and here&#8217;s a quick tip. If it isn&#8217;t love at first sight, it probably never will be. Just pass on it when in doubt.</p>
<p>And before this post turns into an advice column, here are some highlights for the month of June on <em>Bagaholicboy</em>. Enjoy.</p>
<p><strong>01</strong>. First up, a great big thank you to Female Singapore for my lovely 3 page feature in the July 2011 issue, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/female-singapore-july-2011-feature/" target="_blank">as well the great honour of being mentioned on the cover</a>!</p>
<p><strong>02</strong>. If you&#8217;ve been reading the blog on an almost daily basis, you&#8217;ll have noticed more and more posts on shoes lately. A new obsession for me? Oh yes indeed. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/fall-winter-2011-mens-christian-louboutin/" target="_blank">Check out posts on F/W11 Christian Louboutin</a> (the <strong>SGD1500</strong> <em>Louis</em> is already in stores, by the way), <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/fall-winter-2011-mens-prada/" target="_blank">my obsession with F/W11 Prada</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/pierre-hardy-limited-edition-8-discorama-sneaker/" target="_blank">the Discorama sneaker from Pierre Hardy</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/car-shoe-suede-driving-shoes/" target="_blank">and suede classics from Car Shoe no one should ever do without</a>. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/alejandro-ingelmo-tron-collection/" target="_blank">And let&#8217;s not forget those sneakers from Alejandro Ingelmo</a>.</p>
<p><strong>03</strong>. Still on shoes, if you&#8217;re lamenting over the fact that you couldn&#8217;t order them right after the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/spring-summer-2012-mens-burberry-prorsum/" target="_blank">Spring-Summer 2012 Mens Burberry Prorsum</a></strong> presentation, look at it this way. At least now you&#8217;ll have more time to save (and mull over) which pair you&#8217;ll eventually get when they are formally released later in the year.</p>
<p><strong>04</strong>. Other objects of lust from S/S12 Mens Burberry Prorsum include the delectable iPad clutch in alligator, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/burberry-prorsum-alligator-ipad-sleeve/" target="_blank">as well as the ethnic-inspired hobo tote</a>. And if you missed out on June&#8217;s launch of the F/W11 Buberry ad campaign, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/fall-winter-2011-burberry-ad-campaign-june/" target="_blank">click here and have a quick look</a>.</p>
<p><strong>05</strong>. Speaking of F/W11 ad campaigns, some noteworthy ones to check out include those from Bottega Veneta (<a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/fall-winter-2011-womens-bottega-veneta-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">love that red tote</a>), Miu Miu (<a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/fall-winter-2011-miu-miu-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">little Hallie playing dress up</a>) and Mulberry (<a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/fall-winter-2011-womens-mulberry-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">your first look exclusive</a>). Others I posted on Facebook are those from Dolce &amp; Gabbana (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=356552794948&amp;set=a.353087129948.55469.32809759948&amp;type=1" target="_blank">all ambiguous this season</a>), and Prada (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.352769929948.55437.32809759948" target="_blank">you&#8217;ve got to love those clutches</a>).</p>
<p><strong>06</strong>. Love Goyard but not exactly sure what the prices are like when it comes to their boutique in Hong Kong? <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/bagaholicboy-profiles-31-goyard-hong-kong-101/" target="_blank">Here are my 10 quick points to note when shopping there</a>.</p>
<p><strong>07</strong>. Like I mentioned earlier, new F/W11 arrivals you should take note of include pieces from the new <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/chanel-palette-ipad-clutch/" target="_blank">Chanel Palette</a></strong> collection, the <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/coach-classics-leather-field-bag/" target="_blank"><strong>Coach Classics Leather Field Bag</strong></a>, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/hermes-illico/" target="_blank">Hèrmes Illico</a></strong>, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/louis-vuitton-monogram-idylle-odyssee/" target="_blank">Louis Vuitton Monogram Idylle Odyssée</a></strong>,  the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/miu-miu-matelasse-shoulder-bag/" target="_blank">Miu Miu Matelassé Shoulder Bag</a></strong>, and the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/mulberry-small-polly-push-lock/" target="_blank">Mulberry Small Polly Push Lock</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>08</strong>. As for the boys, don&#8217;t forget to check out the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/coach-bleecker-legacy-canvas-weekender/" target="_blank">Coach Bleecker Legacy Canvas Weekender</a></strong>, as well as the adorable <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/jack-spade-pet-rock-credit-card-holder/" target="_blank">Jack Spade Pet Rock Credit Card Holder</a></strong>.</p>
<p><strong>09</strong>. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/bagaholicboy-muses-237-money-money-money/" target="_blank">Other posts to check out include this one on money clips</a>, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/ysl-chyc-mouse-pad/" target="_blank">YSL Chyc Mouse Pad</a></strong>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/hermes-box-with-strap-and-cowhide-handles/" target="_blank">and the oddest &#8216;bag&#8217; from Hèrmes yet</a>. Also, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/delvaux-multifunction-d-pochette/" target="_blank">Delvaux Multifunction D Pochette</a></strong> which I really wouldn&#8217;t mind getting online, except for the fact that the shipping costs for it are ridiculous.</p>
<p><strong>10</strong>. Last but not least, Mulberry celebrates her 40th birthday with a cute animation created by Josh Gurrie, detailing their history in brief. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/06/mulberry-40th-anniversary-animation/" target="_blank">Click here and have a look</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15182" src="http://bagaholicboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/bbre28_hm.jpg" alt="" width="397" height="567" /> Half of 2011 has almost gone by in a flash, and officially we&#8217;re right into the middle of what I like to term &#8216;retail limbo&#8217;. It is that time of the year when one season has come to an end, and before the next one starts proper, we are left to contend with the onslaught of end-of-season sales and promotions.</p>
<p>And while many of you will probably bag good deals in the ongoing Great Singapore Sale, don&#8217;t forget to keep one eye out on the upcoming sales at the online sites like Net-A-Porter that will be happening really soon. I could go on and on, but I shan&#8217;t lest I digress. Without further ado, here are the highlights for May 2011.</p>
<p><strong>01</strong>. The single post that garnered the most amount of reactions would have to be the one about Chanel&#8217;s price increment which came into effect in May. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/bagaholicboy-news-198-chanel-revises-prices-again/" target="_blank">Viewed over 6500 times since the day it was posted</a>, I can only attribute it to two factors. Singaporeans&#8217; love for Chanel, and their general disdain for having to pay more.</p>
<p><strong>02</strong>. May 2011 should also be remembered for the sheer variety of affordable, fun bags that were featured on this blog, from the <strong>Marc Jacobs &#8216;Fight Like A Girl&#8217; Tote </strong>to the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/will-guatemalan-carry-all/" target="_blank">Will Guatemalan Carry-All</a></strong>. And that&#8217;s not all. Other gems to check out include the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/souve-cant-afford-a-birkin-tote/" target="_blank">Souve &#8216;Can&#8217;t Afford A Birkin&#8217; Tote</a></strong>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/depression-pony-hair-clutch/" target="_blank">as well as the lush pony hair clutch from local brand Depression that&#8217;s only <strong>SGD220</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>03</strong>. Other affordable buys include the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/pochi-hello-kitty-silicone-pouch/" target="_blank">Pochi Hello Kitty Silicone Pouch</a></strong>, the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/marc-jacobs-peseta-sailor-backpack/" target="_blank">Marc Jacobs Peseta Backpack</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/dvf-diane-collection/" target="_blank">DVF Diane</a> </strong>collection.</p>
<p><strong>04</strong>. Fans of Mulberry, you&#8217;re in luck. <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/mulberry-alexa-in-chocolate/" target="_blank">Besides the <em>Alexa</em> in new colours like Chocolate and Bright Cabbage</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/mulberry-oversized-taylor-in-black/" target="_blank">there&#8217;s also the new <em>Oversized Taylor </em>that&#8217;s great for work</a>, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/05/mulberry-postmans-lock-camera-bag/" target="_blank">as well as the <em>Postman&#8217;s Lock Camera Bag</em> that&#8217;s great for play</a>.</p>
<p><strong>05</strong>.

And while it has been a &#8216;quieter&#8217; month than say March 2011, it was no less fun, with loads of new lovely bags coming into Singapore from the brands&#8217; respective S/S11 collections.</p>
<p>I would also like to take this opportunity to once again thank both magazines Men&#8217;s Folio and Style: Singapore, <a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/2011/04/mens-folio-april-2011-mode/" target="_blank">for allowing me to contribute to their respective April issues</a>.</p>
<p><strong>01</strong>. One of the bags that garnered the most interest in the month of April was the pre-launch of satchels (and batchels) from The Cambridge Satchel Company.
