Restir.com Starts Winter Sale On Monday, 20 Dec 2010!

Japanese multi-label concept store, Restir was one of my must visit shopping destination when I visited Tokyo recently. Located in the modern shopping mall, Tokyo Midtown (near Roppongi Hills area), the store presents a carefully curated selection of luxury brands from cult to well known names. Trussardi 1911, Givenchy, Balmain, Neil Barrett, Kris Van Assche are just some of the big names along side other cult labels such as The Soloist and Odyn Vovk. I am a fan of their store decor. Feels part club and part boutique! Very hip:-)

Although Japanese prices are marked up way much more than in Singapore, their selections are immaculate, often stocking the best pieces from each collection achieved thru the discerning eye of the store buyers. Japanese truly does it best when it comes to fashion and shopping!

They have an online store, www.restir.com that allows international buyers (both men and women) a chance to buy into their selections. The online store will start their winter sale on Monday, 20 December. Markdowns will range from 20%-70% off. What better chance to pick up some one of a kind and TDF pieces than during the sale!

Shipping is a flat 5000 yen (Approx. SGD80) and via Fed Ex. International orders are exempt from Japan VAT. Orders over 50,000 yen gets FREE shipping. (Please remember, if you reside in Singapore, orders over a value of SGD400 is subject to Singapore's 7% GST)

I am happy to report, I got something from them recently (one day Flash sale) that is nowhere to be found anywhere, unless I visit Europe. Their service is unmatched. Friendly and very prompt. Aiko Fukuda is so nice to deal with! Service levels indeed that one can count on from the very attentive Japanese:-)

Don't say I didn't share shopping news! Time to get ready your Visa Cards!

Thanks to the kind ladies of Mulberry, I have received info about the bags up for sale. And my...some really good deals and gorgeous pieces are beckoning. Here's my picks...this time for the ladies too, since their women's bags are exceptionally appealing this season.

For the boys:

1) Mulberry Taylor Tote In Denim Ticking - Now £196 (50% off from £395!). Smart and casual, perfect for a day out in town in handsome stripe denim ticking fabric. I have the Meygan Holdall in this material and I love it. So light-weight and roomy. Now at 50% off...even more reasons to grab this!


2) Mulberry Antony Holdall - Now £290 (50% off from £595!). For the boys who want a bag for the office and keep that laptop and documents, this bag is the perfect choice. Definitely worthy of the boardroom. Comes in classic Mulberry colours of Oak, Chocolate and black. Must buy now at 50% off!


3) Mulberry Eliot Holdall - Now £416 (30% off from £595!). The Eliot holdall is a brilliant companion to the gym. And with colours like white, blue and deep red, it is fun and will be a timeless piece to take you places.


For the ladies:

1) Mulberry Jenah Shoulder Bag - Now £346 (50% off from £695!). I love the gold colour with the interesting juxtaposition of cracked leather and smooth soft leather. The chain handle is a classic and timeless design that will look perfectly at home for glamourous evenings! Comes in black and silver too.


2) Mulberry Shimmy Tote - Now £408 (40% off from £681!). Love shimmy! It's glamourous with the oversize hardware. Versatile for day as well as night. And a shoulder strap means another style to carry. Chic bag for sure:-)


3) Mulberry Bayswater Clutch - Now £346 (30% off from £495!). It's a clutch and a shoulder bag. What more can you ask of duality in function and design. Gorgeous, sexy lipstick red is my favourite.


4) Mulberry Ava Clutch with Chain - (original price £485) I am not sure what discount this lovely clutch will be. But grab it in exotic snakeskin to feel luxurious. An eye catcher for evenings and parties:-) The pink one is simply exotic and sweet.

There are others bags going for markdowns as well. And lucky ladies, you even have shoes going for up to 62% discount (The buckle boot in pebbled and cracked leather). Ready-To-Wear pieces go as much as 50% off too. But those can only be bought at the actual Mulberry stores.

In summary:
Womens Ready to Wear (50%)
Mens Ready to Wear (50%)
Leather Bags (30-50%)
Small Leather Goods (30-70%)
Shoes (49-62%)

Let us all rejoice in 'retail therapy', Mulberry style. Once again, thanks to Mulberry for all the exciting sales info.

(On a last note, anyone who buys anything during the sales, update and send pics to me!:-) Love to share your 'shopping loot' to other bag fans:-P)
