My Kinokuniya Haul @ KLCC

I spent almost one and a half hours at Kinokuniya's Japanese section just browsing and deciding on which mook to buy and which freebie i'd get.

Here's what I finally decided to buy.

Warning: heavy picture post, up-ahead.

The unveiling of my Mooks & freebies....

I spent over RM100 on just these 2 mooks. And Kinokuniya was nice enough to acknowledge that with a nice paper bag (like!)

SPRING & CECIL McBEE mooks

 The Cecil McBee mook cost me RM77.15, but I had a 20% off with another purchase, so it came-up to RM 61.72 ie, the Cecil McBee bag came to that.

SPRING mook however only costs RM39.60. I felt that the quality of the Cabbage&Roses tote was way much better and worth the money too!

Up ahead is the unveiling of my MOOKS and freebies...
Warning: Head picture post!!

I'll start off with the SPRING mook and Cabbage&Roses tote - my absolute favourite of the two

nice packaging

bag was neatly packed into this cardboard box and separately wrapped in plastic

Here's a preview of the bag on the mook's top right-hand corner

the bag neatly folded, straight out of the box

Tada... the actual bag unveiled!

Love the quality of the bag. It's sturdy and has good weight. Not like other super slimsy and light bags.

Spacious interior with a zipper for security. Pocket inside

2 posckets outside, one on the front and another on the back
 

 Next-up in the CECIL McBEE MOOK and bag.

Mook came with a 20% off with a second purchase

The bag was in this white box labeled Cecil McBee. And the box was glued to the mook

The folded black CECIL McBEE bag

Over the front, it looks as if the bag was just printed with the words CECIL McBEE in white latex print. The inking wasn't so good as you can see, the ink didn't fully sink into the material. Blotches of white and black spaces seen :(

 I was quite disappointed with this bag, because of the quality. It felt as though this bag could easily be passed off as an imitation. :( OK, i know it's way much cheaper than the original bag, but for a price like that, i'd rather save-up for the original.

 It's a quilted bag with sponge and all. It's very light-weight and the straps are made from PVC.

 The only up-side to the bag is the gold-plated hardware - its gold zipper with signature emblem.
