LANCEL
 "LANCEL is the ultimate stage in a long history that began in 1876 when its founders Alphone and Angele Lancel have opened the first boutique in Paris. In 1929, LANCEL has opened a boutique in the Place of Opera that remains till nowadays a well-known symbol of the brand. Since 1950, LANCEL has been developed with the aim to satisfy the growing desires of its customers, by creating products that combine tradition and modern style to grace, elegance and quality. In September 1997, LANCEL has joint the Richemont group that counts among others brands such as CARTIER, MONT BLANC, BAUME & MERCIER, PANERAI, CHLOE, PURDEY & OLD ENGLAND. Since that date, LANCEL has accelerated its development globally, by creating luxury and esthetic products..."Yups, this is yet another High End Label which may be foreign to most of U. Like Goyard, the main reason why it's not that popular in Singapore is because, there's no flagship store here! As such, Singaporeans are left out on this luxurious label. All they know is more Louis Vuitton and Gucci! Sheesh. Give me a break! Hehe. :)Well, again like Goyard, Lancel is also on par with other high end labels. Sadly, even in Paris itself, they are not that well received. I guess, it must be due to their simple and limited collection. But, on my recent visit to Lancel's boutique at Starhill Gallery Kuala Lumpur, I saw a whole range of the latest collection and I must give two thumbs up. Tagged at a very affordable price (comparable to Coach), the bags will surely be an instant hit with those who wants to stand out. ;) Mom actually got quite a good deal the other time but she just had to pass it due to some financial constraints. Hehe. :PThank god, back in Singapore, I finally found one Lancel bag going on a huge discount at eBay. Well, it may be aged and used, but the classic design still stays. In fact, the good quality can be seen through its still sturdy handle and base. Lancel only uses the highest grade of leather. Then again, I believe all other high end labels do. Haha! Ok what's the best part U guess? The price of course!!! Imagine this, the owner actually bought the bag at close to SGD1,000 but I only paid SGD50 for it! WHAT A HUGE SAVING!?! I'm so dead. Here are some pictures of the bag. What do U think? :D     P/S: Goyard & Lancel, please open at least one flagship store, here in Singapore!! :(Regards,Niz
