My Adorable Chocolate Rain Bag :D

Mike bought me this bag while we were strolling along the Soho area of Hong Kong back in March. :D

I have been using this almost everyday since and it seems this bag has drawn lots of attention from fellow ladies. Sometimes, I go into shops and the cashiers would ask me where I got this. :D I couldn't pinpoint the address and just know it's somewhere from Soho area.

I loved this bag the minute I saw it.. :D but it's was quite expensive for a plastic bag (well, the outside is weatherproof plastic, but inside is lined with cotton of course), so I hesitated. :D Mike must have known that if nobody made a decision on the purchase, we were gonna linger at the store until past happy hour. :D So, he being a decisive man, said, "Honey, if you like it, let me get it for you." :D

That totally turned me into a decisive woman right then and there... hahaha

I was digging up my dad's old news paper stash for something to read earlier and found a piece of article mentioning the lady who designed this bag. Her name is Prudence :D She turns patchworks into arts and now become quite famous.

After a bit of searching on the net, I have finally located the correct address for the store. :D Next time someone asks me where to buy the bag, I will just point her there.

But Prudence told Mike and I this is the only one left of its kind. :) So, good luck ladies! :)
