my wallet is shaking in fear

The Dunlin e-store has finally launched! While not as swish as their normal website, it does mean that you can now order their beautiful bags while sitting at your computer in your pyjamas. :) And to make things that little bit better, they're also offering 10% off (code: 7538) until next Friday (17 Dec). So if you have something you always wanted to get and you don't live anywhere near one of their stockists, now's your chance!

always the way

After much googling and bemoaning the lack of stockists and sales, I finally caved and bought the Dunlin Lafayette bag in black. Shiho from Dunlin couldn't be lovelier to deal with and sent the bags (mine and a friend's) super quick! Only of course shortly after I receive it, I get an ebay alert telling me there's one available on ebay. And this after I had searched and searched everywhere for one for cheap(er)!

so um... now I've got 2 bags.

And I gotta tell you, they are seriously fabulous. The leather is so wonderfully smooshy and soft and has that great leather smell y'know? heh...

I read about Dunlin years ago in US vogue and was seriously obsessed for a while... unfortunately my budget couldn't handle it so I put it out of my mind eventually (I bet this story is starting to sound familiar... what can I say, this happens to me a lot). Anyway, fast forward to last week when I saw Dunlin featured in a blog post somewhere and the love just came crashing back full force! I guess I should just count myself lucky that this has never happened with exes or anything like that :p

Anyway, now just to decide if I should get the medium Lafayette tote or the larger Weekender size. I'm kicking myself for not remembering to check out their store in NYC when I was there in the summer! Can you say summer sales? (not to mention that I'd missed out on some truly amazing deals end of last year - some people picked up the medium lafayettes at 50% off! Sadly those stores don't seem to carry Dunlin anymore... If I could find more online stockists maybe I'd wait).
