Gosh, this is awesome! Ok u guys & gals out there know how much I'm obsessed with bags and wallets, right? Due to this insane craving for more unique and just one of a kind label, I did a quick "googling" and guess what I found? Mode Creation Munich or MCM for short, of course! Actually, MCM initially stands for Michael Cromer Munich but the name was changed when they made a come back.
I recall meeting with a YA seller 2 years back and he did tell some things about MCM. If memory serves me right, MCM had a flagship store in Singapore back in the 80's and early 90's. They produced more than 500 different pieces, from accesories to bags to clothings. He even told me that it took him so long to save up just to purchase a highly sought after MCM jeans. Gosh, it must have been such a hit with Singaporean I guess. How I wish I was in those era!
Unfortunately, despite the great success, MCM had to withdraw from Singapore and majority of the other countries as they had some complications within the company. Don't quote me though. The YA guy told me all these. How else can I know? Haha! So yeah, for many years, other high end labels took over Singapore till today. During its time, MCM is actually on the same level as Louis Vuitton, Gucci & Goyard. I bet u can just guess how much MCM products were tagged at, back then. ;)
Off late, I saw many people (Pinoys especially) toting MCM bags around town and even in Sentosa! I really wonder how on earth can they still own a truly vintage label bag? What puzzled me more, the bags actually still look new! Well, now I know. They must have bought a new piece! :)
Boston bag is just evergreen! Almost any labels have a boston... ;)
I saw this in Sentosa. It's gorgeous despite the retro granny look of it. :)
MCM recently made a come back in the luxurious high end label industry! Under the care of the newly appointed Creative Director, Michael Michalsky, the MCM design team is working hard to reinvent the label. They update the collection with modern, young and sporty designs. Their main aim is to get cosmopolitan & professional men and women to love this label once again. Like most high end labels, their collection are also handmade using top-quality materials only.
What a gorgeous set! :D
Sadly, MCM does not have plans to set up a flagship store once again in Singapore. Perhaps, Singapore is too dominated by the other "giant" labels that MCM just shy away with fear it may not be able to make a good come back. Gosh, why MCM why? Come back! I love your collections! Hahahaha. Frankly, just by looking at their new collection, I can see the great potential in them. They definitely can go far this time round! Hehe. (MCM paham!)
Their Spring/Summer 2008 collection really appeals to me. I'm so dying to own the MCM Buffalo Lion messenger bag!!! I would also love to get their wallets or pouches sold on Ebay! Argh I'm going nuts. Haha! Oh yeah, for more information on MCM, feel free to visit www.mcmworldwide.com. Gosh, free publicity on my blog. Do I hear a free bag from MCM is coming my way? Haha, dream on Nizam! ;D
Anyone kind enough to get me this? :P
P/S: I'm very pissed that my beloved white Patrick Cox bag can now be found in various sizes @ Zinc, islandwide! Grrrr!
