If you are my Facebook page follower then you’d remember that I posted about this Japanese Magazine supplement just before Chinese New Year. I was so tempted to get it but couldn’t made up my mind so I hide the copy that I was holding *evil me*. I went back yesterday to see if the hidden copy is still there and it was! I guess this means it’s fated that I should get it right?
So here it is! Totally no regret. It is as gorgeous as the blurb on the magazine front cover. 25ans March 2013 X Michael Kors Wallet / Passport Case issue is retailing at RM62 per copy at Kinokuniya. I paid RM58.90 after 5% discount using Isetan card.
Rather than the usual corrugated brown box shell packaging, this Michael Kors wallet comes in a gift box. Classy for a magazine supplement. The box is slot in a clear transparent plastic which I’ve removed and not in the picture.
Inside, the wallet itself is packaged in a clear transparent plastic as well. It’s double protection. Never know what will happen during the transit from Japan to Malaysia right?
The wallet is measuring at 11cm x 15cm. This measurement is printed on the front cover as well. Just before CNY I was at Kinokuniya with the intention of getting this magazine but I couldn’t imagine how the wallet look like. So I approached the Japanese Magazine counter for assistance in opening the magazine. It’s not the first time I’m doing this by the way. I was rejected on the spot with the reason of new implement law that no magazine shall be open. Oh wow. The customer service at Kinokuniya is getting worse! Later on I asked for a ruler and the lady gave me a look. I told her off by saying since she refuse to open the magazine I can only imagine the size using a ruler! Let’s just say I wasn’t in the mood to purchase anything that day.
The wallet is very well-made. It’s not those cheapo supplement they simply put in. Ever since I started hauling Japanese Magazine most of the time I get disappointed as the real supplement is not as good looking and well-made as the one printed on the magazine. This one is superb.
The inside flap is in fuchsia pink. There’s a slight discoloration on the left side of the pink flap (covered by my finger) which I’m pretty sad about but I guess nothing is perfect. Everything else is good.
Normally for magazine supplement I find the magazine name printed together with the supplement brand. This one thank goodness just Michael Kors name on the wallet. Makes it even more valuable.
I’m surprised to find Michael Kors logo on the inner fabric! It’s just like boutique goods. Never seen this on magazine supplement as well. The 2-slot in front is looking weird. It’s too small for coins and name cards. I wonder what is that for.
Overall there’s only one main compartment which is not very spacious. Hardly can fit my iPhone 4S. Was thinking to have this as my lunch wallet.
Another surprise that I find from the main compartment. There’s a product tag included from Michael Kors. No signs of the magazine brand. So I guess this is indeed from Michael Kors.
I search within the magazine content and finally found the supplement page. It’s actually made as passport holder which explains the small size LOL. Then I realized the product tag is also written as passport case. But all good. It’s still a lovely wallet to have.
I’ve only seen 3 copies of this magazine. Anyone here managed to grab a copy?

Good buy Fiona. Lucky you. The wallet is so pretty.
It is pretty! Feels a bit “sayang” to use it 😛
I like it. Thinking whether to buy it or not.
No more. Only 3 copies that day. You can check the jap counter if you can reorder back.
Gorgeous!! Definitely a great buy! I was lemming for the muchacha mook with cat bag but was a bit too late and it was sold out :p
Muchacha bag is cute! No worries. There will be other Muchacha mook soon :). I’m tempted with all the HbG mook in Kinokuniya
I bought the special muchacha gift box cos there was only one left! But the bag is much smaller than i imagined 🙁 Still cute though.. just wish i didnt miss the first mook.
Bags in mook or japanese magazine is normally quite small. I asked for a ruler from the counter to imagine the size 🙂
I would have buy this if I know the give goodie!
🙂 You got to keep an eye on the blog / Facebook as I normally will share out the goodies I spot!
Great grab! You always find the goodies from magazines and when I’m there, couldn’t find any. Oh what a luck!
Lately hardly find good stuff in Kinokuniya. I used to stalk them LOL. I think the demand in Malaysia is getting lower so the copies is also lesser.
