There are times when I don't bother taking the camera along with me to meals and events, especially if I'm just carrying a tiny clutch. Even if the camera is present, depending on the vibe and situation, I choose not to whip it out even if there's something that I badly want a photo of. It's sometimes, just crass.Naturally, photography isn't permitted at the designer boutiques nor the counters of luxury brands at chic malls.
Obviously, Chloé doesn't either. It didn't take me long to decide on a particular bag. I wanted a shot of it on the display rather than it slouching about at home. I don't have pretty hooks to hang it up for a good shot either. It was only after I told them to bring a new piece out for me and handed over the credit card that the uppity sales executives in their sombre suits allowed me to take one photo.
They watched me like a hawk. Whatever. At least they weren't thickheaded to say no there and then, and told me to take photographs at home, which would defeat the whole point of getting my way.

D
Oh my! isn't that on preorder for fall/winter???!!! I just saw the brown one and black isn't even avail here. Oh my! So pretty!
d: this one is in paris. the english are just as snooty. so no difference. ah. i forgot all about the name of the bag till you mentioned it. i had to go google before replying you. yes it's the paraty medium!
muffingirl: really? pre-order? maybe that's why they're so protective about photography for the bag. oh well. it's available in paris already. there is a version in brown too. it's light- not as light as a Kelly, but good enough. pebbled leather. sturdy. slouchy too so that i won't feel heartache slapping it around. imptly, no strange logos or monograms floating around- the way i like me big bags.
This a nice one! Quite un-Chloe!
(noticed all the bag-ladies are commenting. haha)
i think plenty shops anywhere disallow photography in their premises. includes supermarkets, if you can believe that.
A Bag! I was hoping for a 'bag' post..keke! Can share what the damage was?
Ohh.. and VERY NICE the bag!! I like!
I used to be able to afford nice bags in the UK!! Unlike now. Oh wait, I know why.. because I wasn't the one paying then! hahaha..
love the bag. great minds think alike ;)

lms: actually the only thing i know abt chloe is the bag with the lock. didn't like that because it's just too heavy.
