LV's Nimbus PM Bag At Salhiya Complex


I could only post one liner to this post and save your precious time by just saying "Available at Salhiya. I hate it. Don't buy it". But I just felt the need to share additional information on this bag should you feel the need to read more while waiting for your favorite TV show to start.

Louis Vuitton's Monogram Olympe Nimbus PM, made out of smokey lambskin leather (yeey...), is actually named after Mount Olympus, home to the twelve principal gods in Greek mythology (huh?). The bag is available at LV boutique at Salhiya Complex and is being sold for KD 540. Bag's features include: zippered closure, internal patch pocket and mobile phone compartment (practical but not creative), tonal monogram embroidery, can be hand-held or carried on the shoulder, plaited leather handle, engraved nameplate in front corner, and leather ruffle trim along top.

Why do I hate this bag so much? It's color is sooo washed out that it would break any fabulous look. It's over-priced for a bag that will only be worn for a season max! The hobo shape of the bag makes it unpractical to wear with fall's structured trends and dark colors. And I think these reasons are enough for me to move a long and write another post....

I think I just ended the post at a high note.. I'll leave it like that.

The bag cost me 1260 GBP which is equivalent to 750 KD. I am sure you are talking about the small or medium size !

I'm not sure if it was the small or the medium size as I only saw one at the store and assumed that it comes in one size... Is your bag the same color?

My #1 reason for not liking it is because of it's color.

Dear Confashion, my bag color is the same as the one worn by Jessica Simpson, I bought it from UK late May. In recent visit to Salhiya, I saw the color you posted and even darker. Regards

Maybe your bag is bigger in size that's why it's more expensive or maybe different type of leather?

if that's your bag then no wonder it's more expensive than the one I featured in the post. It's bigger in size and different in style :) I like the one you have more..

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
