Happiness Redux V

Check out these happy faces below :D

Gris Perle is the sumptuous new grey pearl colour, and looks oh-so-chic on this elegant Kelly Cut, that will take S from day to night :D

Can you believe that she is a new mummy?? She’s as slim and tall as the Kelly Cut!! ENVY.

Here’s SS with her long-awaited Noir Gator CDC GHW. Seeing my customers swoon over their goodies gives me such joy :) Thanks to all of you folks for making my day.

Here’s another shot of the evenly gorgeous scales of the Noir Gator CDC.

Next up is the highly sought-after Amethyst Gator CDC in GHW. How often do you come by Amethyst AND in GHW?? Congrats to J!

Here’s one of a PHW we nabbed a couple of months back. Lucky us and lucky customer!!

Still on CDCs. Check out the very visible and beautiful ringlets on this Lizzie Ombre CDC GHW. This must be one of the prettiest-patterned Lizzie Ombre CDCs I’ve had the pleasure of delivering. Congrats to D!

Next up is this edgy-rocker-gothic-like Chanel ring, lovely in its details.

This customer, who’s become a nice friend, has maadddd love for rings. Check out her YSL Arty rings, all five of them!!

I also had the pleasure of delivering the new-season pink Chanel slippers, which I thought would go so well with my pink Lindy…. Swoon.

Yupe! I finally broke it out :D LOVE IT

Tough-arse luck, I was caught in the rain my first day using it, but as usual the raindrops slid right off the swift leather.

Ok, so you want Bs & Ks instead. Lemme indulge you!

Remember the Black GHW Birkin  we nabbed from a couple of months back? We managed to get a GHW breloque charm chain to dress it up! These charm chains are quite hard to come by, trust you me.

How pretty is this? Love how the gold stands out against the black.

And now, take a deep breath

and exhale in amazement at this gorgy 35cm Mykonos Kelly!! I snuck a peak before handing it over, and the colour is like a breath of fresh ocean air…ahhhhhh!


At this point, you’re probably thinking, how is Carol going to top this. Well, I’ve more reveals coming up!

Here’s a sneak peak :)

I always have more up my sleeves!!

Til tomorrow! ;D

Happiness Redux IV

Here comes the PHW. And a myriad of colours!


The Fuschia Gator Kelly Dog that garnered tons of queries found a lovely owner in CC!

Two other ladies were lucky to nab the Orange and the Pelouse (I have mad love for the Pelouse!).

How hard to come by are these? Suffice to say we never saw them in Paris…

Love the even scales on this Rouge H Gator CDC.

I had originally thought this an Orange Kelly Dog, but upon comparison with the customer’s Orange Lindy, we found it a little too deep and bright for an Orange. Turned out to be Feu, a new-season colour. (Thanks for the info, S!)

Now on to some bags I’ve had the (great, great) pleasure of delivering personally.

I’ve a story for this delivery (don’t I always?). Earlier in the day, I was out with J, who was back for a rare visit. I just had to show her the over-rated Ku De Ta atop Marina Bay Sands. We had sat in the open, under umbrellas, amidst a slight drizzle, and the moisture had helped in the colour transfer of the black from my gauzy-thingie dress onto my very-new bubble-pink Garden Party. Later in the evening, I drove to M’s home to deliver her this elegant, all-season Shoulder Kelly, and just 5 seconds after the above picture, did I see the dark patches on my GP. It was a dramatic discovery for me; I was so distraught, I nearly mistakenly walked out of M’s home with her pair of Chanel slippers!!

(At this point, I know you must be thinking, who pairs a black dress with a pink bag?? haha)

A customer had read that Tabac Camel is going to be discontinued, and that makes this Lindy such a nice coup. It’s a lovely milky colour, on the cool-grey side of Gold. Best described as an Etoupey-Gold. Very, very wearable.

It’s a colour that’s difficult to capture. Here’s it looking a tad different in another shot.

Here’s another stunning, stunning coup for us. It’s so pretty, I just have to revisit it again.

Let’s go from this stunner to another. A 25cm Bougainvillier Birkin; what it lacks in size, it makes up in beautiful saturated colour!

Without flash

With flash

Since we’re on the topic of colours, thought this shot of the bi-colour Kelly Cut would blow you away.

If that didn’t do it for you, this probably would..

Wait for it…


Rose Tyrien with Rubis Interior

Whilst you are floating on pink-hued clouds, check out this gorgeous Chanel Fuschia Lipstick Flap. And yupe, we managed to nab a couple of the limited-edition jacket charms, that made some of my customers happy campers!

Ok, let us all calm down with a shot of a lovely classic – the black Kelly, that gives any ensemble a touch of class. Beauty. Congrats to A :)

Let’s round things off nicely with a So-Black KDT :)

More tomorrow folks! Yes, more!!

Happiness Redux III

Happiness was temporarily cut as I had to deal with a car accident recently (no Hermes goodies involved except mine, and that makes for another story altogether!); but as the matter’s finally resolved, let’s get back to business!

Sorry if this website’s confusing. Most pictures you see here are reveal pictures, which is to mean, that these photos are taken upon delivery to customers. That hand wearing the bracelet, would be the rightful owner’s, not mine! I don’t model goodies, take pics of them and then post them up for sale (unless it’s on specific request, to gauge size etc); it’s just not my style.

Secondly, I do not often post items for sale, as most of my goodies are shopped specifically to order. And extras outside of the order list are snapped up very quickly, as soon as I offer them to customers whom I think would love them. Which makes my shopping for my customers, a much more private affair. Of course, goodies available for sale to the public would be marked with the word “AVAILABLE” on the post title. And I’ll also broadcast them via my tweets. Perhaps I should have a separate section for them in the future, but let’s see.

There are also pictures I do not post at all, at the request of my customers who’d like to remain private about their collections.

I love the written word, and I do love to write and share my life here. So if that’s not for you, I’m sure you can click to the alternative “concierge services” going straight to the goods. Whatever floats your boat, maam. But mine floats this way.

Hokay! Enough with the heavy talk. Enjoy the eye candy! Again, these are goodies sold and delivered :)

Let’s start with the GHWs!

A hardly-seen doblis bourgogne CDC GHW, a really gorgeous combination!

Love how the gold and maroon contrasts against the pale skin!

You’ll be surprised how difficult it is to track down some Chanel accessories, hunting this pretty butterfly pair down for our client was a nice little coup!

TRY looking for this classic in Paris the next time you’re there, you’ll be baffled at how many boutiques you’ll have to try.

Our first Chanel Maxi GHW, and not our last!

Finishing off for the night, this Vert Veronese Birkin in GHW!! A lovely client has relinquished her place in the B line for her mummy. And a happy mummy she turned out to be :) I hope to be able to offer something to this nice daughter one day!

PHW goodies next!

The perfect red packet is available here (update: sold!)

The Black Cruise turned Red. Well, possibly.

It’s the shade for house visiting during Chinese New Year. And at a price you can’t even get a small classic flap for, even if I buy it from Paris (seriously)! Yes, it is double strapped, and when worn so, the charms are on your shoulders. Otherwise, it looks just like the classic. S$3,500

My mum wants this if you don’t :D

Size reference for the Cruise edition Flap

I’ve decided to dedicate a post to the Cruise edition flap, due to the numerous queries I’m getting.

The pretty flap comes in 2 sizes, the itsy-bitsy teeny one is probably just little more than a wallet on chain, like the one shown on the Chanel website:

Whilst the one we got in, is similar to the small classic flap in size. Here’s a shot of my girlfriend modelling the bag for size reference:

Yupe, it comes in matte goldhardware, woohoo. Charms are not detachable. It’s a single flap (no second inner flap, which means more space!) in lambskin. And looks just like a classic flap, save for the charms. Bag can be worn double-strapped like a classic, or single to draw attention to the charms.

Available immediately at S$3500nett. Serious buyers, text me!

Pretty Chanel snowflakes

It’s never too early for some wintry snowflakes, especially when it’s Chanel! Jas took a stroll down to her local Chanel in Paris and nabbed this for a customer before it gets sold out.

Look at how intricate it is. Simply lovely.

Our first ever Red Maxi Jumbo

I finally had the pleasure of meeting up with Clare, a sweet young lady with a very admirable profession.

I had previously shopped for her mum’s silver anniversary Chanel handbag before; the email and SMS exchanges with her are always very pleasant, to say the least.

I’m proud to present Happiness’ first-ever Maxi Jumbo, in the season’s red. A dream colour we had unexpectedly and by a twisted stroke of good luck, managed to snag.

UPDATE:
A reader sent in this snapshot from US Vogue. The featured flap is in the same shade of red as Clare’s. Love the hair!

More Chanels for the taking!!!

Serious buyers, text or call me asap.

With the crazy price increases, Chanels from US are now comparable in pricing as Paris’, but still cheaper than SG. And with my shopper, a girlfriend, who’s now based there, we’re privy to a number of arrivals and new releases. Woohoo.

1. A 225 Reissue in GHW (for S$49xx, or less depending on exchange rate) SG is selling at $5170, if you can even get your hands on it.

2. Classic Flap beige JUMBO CAVIAR W GHW (S$52xx or less depending on exchange rates) SG is selling at S$5350. GOLDHARDWARE!! Need I say more. So many people were asking for this during our last Paris trip, and they were all out of Beige in GHW.

3. The hard-to-come-by ICON 226 Re-issue in Gold hardware (S$59xx)

Prices include our fee, and shipping/insurance already.

Chanel burgundy medium lambskin flap for the taking!

In wine red and ruthenium hardware!

Also a bubble quilt bowler, in the same colour.

Serious buyers, pls text or call me by Wednesday 9pm. US prices are similar to Paris’, btw :)

Miss Silver just got picked up! Congrats to Sharon!
