Rimowa Topas Multiwheel 932.63







It's my last day. And well as usual, I have to start packing all the shopping loots. To my surprise, shit happens! My luggage won't fit all the stuff I have! Shit.. Shit.. Shit..!! And I still have a laundry bag and a bloody gigantic box from Dior out of the luggage.

I should have packed all the shopping loots I have bit by bit each day, instead of leaving them inside their own individual paper bags like how I got them from their store! Damn!! I just couldn't be bothered to pack it all before the last day. Without realizing, I actually have a lot of apparels on this trip which makes my luggage full. And especially the jeans from Bread & Butter which takes so much space! URGH!!!

The next morning, right before my flight. I rushed to Rimowa at Mandarin Gallery and cruise for the needed luggage. Of course something from the Topas Line will be the right one. Since I had the biggest one from the Topas Line, I purchased the smaller one's. Considering it might be useful too one day. For a shorter vacation, like Bali. (Where there's nothing to shop, so it'll fit! :p)

They have a special promotion for PPS and Mandarin VIP members, which are entitled for a 10% discount. Which gives the extra reason to splurge on this luggage!! Hahahaa.. And as I've assumed. It's all full again!! I just don't pack light or perhaps my shopping loots are just too much?!!

Rimowa Salsa De Luxe Buiness Trolley 850.40 and Topas Multiwheel 932.77



Well, I'm not a businessman who's always on-the-go on Business Trips. I'm just a normal person who travels occasionally. But I have always been interested in having a nice looking luggage for my own personal use. Not those with canvas or fabric materials. Trunk looking likes would be something perfect.

So well I went on the hunt for my perfect luggage, Samsonite, Delsey & Etc. But they are all just too common. As much as I need one, I'm just not willing to settle for the one's that would be spotted commonly strolling around Airport's.

It happens that I got my first personal luggage when i wasn't really intending to get one. I was @Singapore doing some casual window shopping at Tangs Department Store. Yeah right casual window shopping at luggage department. Hahaha..

Apparently there's something really nice there. The brand is "Rimowa - Topas Series" it was love at first sight. But the price just wasn't the one I'm willing to settle in. A "Rip Off" I must say. But there's this another brand that attracts me too "Lojel - Web Series". So I got that instead, as an alternative. =)

Lojel has been treating me good for this 2 years. But it just was never enough for a fortnight trip or so. While their own signature lock "Not TSA" was interesting for me when I bought it. It's not TSA lock & i need one that has TSA lock too. So my hunt for the perfect luggage begins again. But this time round, i'm not gonna be hesitant on buying a nice one.

I went to Takashimaya Department Store last 2 weeks. I wasn't quite sure which one am I getting. All I know is I'm gonna buy Rimowa. But still hesitating on the Model's & Line's they have to offer. The Salsa De Luxe Line is of course more affordable. While looking at all the Model's. I'm then tempted not to just get myself 1 luggage, but 2. Being greedy. Hahaha. The cabin size Business Trolley is the perfect size & weight for Laptop's. Since I'm still on a budget. I finally chosen 1 Topas Series & 1 Salsa De Luxe.

Now I believe.. In travelling in style. Hahaha.. =)
