I haven’t been to Kinokuniya for weeks! I like to take a walk at KLCC on Sunday but recent weeks is just too crazy. I went to KLCC last Sunday despite knowing that I needed to be at somewhere else. While I was there I popped in Kinokuniya to see what’s up and new. It was only the 31st March so some of the magazine are not on shelf yet like Malaysia Tatler who never fail to give out great supplement.

I spotted 3 magazine at Japanese Magazine section that comes with Coach supplement. I was this close to buy all 3 magazine but I’m less impulsive nowadays so I only bought InRed March 2013 issue that comes with Coach File and Folders. This magazine is retailing for RM42.90 and I paid cash to enjoy a 5% Isetan member rebate upon presenting my card.

When I reached home, I started to unwrap my magazine. Normally the outer plastic layer is tightly taped. I felt odd that my copy was all loose. I didn’t really suspect anything until I took at knife to cut open the protective cardboard. One side of it was already cut off! I started to suspect my copy was an open copy. Then I removed the stuff out and there’s another layer of plastic that was also torn open. By then I was really afraid that my copy is a defective copy. First I saw the pink Coach file. It looked alright, until I open up to see the inside. Sigh. I’ll show you why I sighed.

Anyway, the pink Coach file is absolutely gorgeous. It is made from hard and thick card board that the outlet layer was wrapped with pink cloth-like material. It is quite huge but slightly smaller than A4 size.

I guess the glue overflowed and stick both the flap and the file together so the buyer that bought this copy sort of force open the file until it looked like this. You can’t really see this because of the bright lighting. In real life it was much more worse. And I guess she returned the copy to get a replacement. But because this was the last copy so I have no other copy to choose at that time.

There’s 5 slots in the file. I had been thinking what to do with this folder and I know I need to put some documents and cheque book in this. It’s easier for me to look for these docs when I needed. That’s because most of the time I find myself searching high and low for a piece of paper like my camera warranty card

There’s also 3 beautiful folders included. I’ve always wanted a Coach folder since 1 year ago when I saw this supplement popped out but already sold out by the time I went to Kinokuniya. I was kinda happy to get not 1 but 3 folders. How often you see and get Coach folder right? And these supplement are original Coach from Japan.

Now I have Coach mousepad, scrunchie, memo pad, post-it-note, pouch, notebook, calendar, luggage tag, Poppy diary, file and folders

This is the last copy from Kinokuniya and it’s March 2013 issue which is normally on shelf 1 month earlier. You can still order this unless Amazon Japan is sold out. I’ve just check and it is still available so you can try checking Japanese Magazine counter for reordering.

As much as I love Paul & Joe or multi-case. . . today I decided to skip this instead. I went to Kinokuniya today with an intention to grab this off the rack and I did. . . for 10 minutes I guess? I always wanted to get a same multi-case like my Tsumori Chisato and this is exactly the same design. The only thing I don’t fancy is the print. I wasn’t attracted. I never like it before today and I was deliberating hard with myself if I wanted to force myself to buy this. It was at a price tag of RM49 and it’s expensive to my opinion. So I put this back. Will see if I change my mind later on =)

Picked up a copy of IN RED December 2010 issue which comes with Lancel pouch from Brigitte Bardot collection. The magazine is selling at RM47.65 and after Isetan member discount will be RM45.25.

I’ve been keeping an eye on this pouch since I found out In Red will be having this brand item. The review of this have been pretty good so far and this sort of confirmed my decision of getting this.

The funny thing is…I forgot about this magazine when I went to Kinokuniya yesterday. Too many magazine in my mind and I can’t recall which is which everytime I’m browsing. As I was browsing, I saw this magazine and I grabbed a copy up without much thinking. The easiest decision I ever made :).

Here’s the gorgeous magazine & the brand item.

The blurb on front cover. Nice…

Plastic cover of the brand item. The other side is blank.

Gorgeous, huge, PINK, cute pouch. This is a collectible item for me and I’m a bit reluctant to use it hehe. The pouch is as big as half of the magazine. Too bad the print is on one side of the pouch.

The back of the pouch is without print.

Close-up of the print.

Zipper-pull close-up.

The inner lining is well-made. The pouch is padded as well.

This is one of my satisfied purchases so far. The pouch is well-made and really make it to their luxurious name.
