The king of kitsch is back with another instalment for Longchamp; this time in the form of the new S/S12 Longchamp + Jeremy Scott ‘Postcard’. Brightly emblazoned on the front are the words ‘Greetings From Paradise, The Land Of Sunshine‘, accompanied by a riot of colours one normally associates with everything tacky. And it is, yet somehow in the hands of Jeremy Scott it works, who takes kitsch to a whole new level of cool (if that’s even possible in the first place).
Still, it is not one for the faint-hearted (wallflowers, you need not bother), as this is one bag for those who don’t mind being the centre of attention; because I guarantee if you step into any room with this bag, people will stop what they’re doing and go all quiet.
And then start laughing. But I jest.
Not yet available in Singapore (won’t be here till 2012 at least), you can get it online at Colette for GBP190. If you live in Singapore you’ll pay around GBP196 with shipping after the VAT deduction. Which isn’t so bad. So, who’s getting one?
UPDATE: It’s finally here. The bag will be released tomorrow (5 April 2012) in Singapore at Longchamp boutiques island wide at SGD449 a pop. Which is really reasonable as far as Jeremy Scott creations go.

This is certainly good news! It’s appalling how the prices of Longchamp bags here have been marked up so ridiculously over the years.
I got this just last week in Japan! At the same price too, got it at $450 after conversion. This bag is a beauty!
Yes, if I’m not wrong, prices over at Longchamp Singapore have been adjusted downwards to reflect the current exchange rates more accurately.
Which is a good thing as far as we are concerned.
Great bag for a holiday trip… yeah… an attention grabber for someone who wears it. Would be nice on men too, with nice tee top, shorts and casual loafers.
Bought it! Just waiting for the UPS man to deliver it by the end of business day today! I actually bought it because of the white side which is the back of a postcard… And I like that you can flip it to whichever side depending on your mood…
Congrats! And don’t forget to send me a snapshot!
I soooo want this but it doesn’t come in a long handle…
I am sooooo gonna get this!!
