It was a couple of months back when I found that one of my Le Pliages has acquired this stubborn stain. There was no way I can figure out where it came from. It sure looked like it was ink to me and it was too brutal for me to ignore.
Specific Care Instruction for Longchamp Le Pliage:
Polyamide fabric with induction inside trimmed in cowhide leather
To maintain your product, apply with a soft brush Longchamp colorless cream regularly to leather areas.
To remove dirt, clean the whole lining using a cloth or a soft brush, with water and neutral soap (avoid water spilling over leather parts when cleaning).
Even the care instruction that came with the bag did not help. So I did what any diligent kikay would do. I checked out stores and places for stain removal stuff for the bag. Something that is safe for polyamide fabric, to be exact. Lo and behold, I found one of my favorite household brands carrying just what I need, in one of the malls I frequent. How convenient!
It claims to contain no harmful chemicals and is skin safe — 100% Eco Safe. Removes stubborn stains and works on fabric and leather. I got it for only P299. The huge stick came with a mini. Something I can just have in my purse for emergency purposes. 
I honestly did not quite expect it to work so beautifully. We all know that ink stains can be as stubborn as can be. But it did! I love that I can use this around the house and practically everything that needs stain removing. Read the rest of this entry »

mobiles, purse
The usual stuff tucked inside every girl’s purse are these: the make up kit, wallet and a mobile. In this time and age, most girls even lug around with two. One of my posts from the previous months is about celli purses that are making waves. But have you seen how interesting cell phones can look nowadays?
Check out these stuffs for your cell phones. I must have bumped into one or two stores from one of those big malls in Makati a couple of years back but nothing were as flashy as these:
Just two examples of how yummy candy your cell phones can get. Most of these are adorned in rhinestones and top notch materials that make it all scratch free. Okay, before you apply for that
fast cash advance to get these done on your mobile babies, consider this: they can actually come in cheap. From a thousand bucks a pop. As yummy as they can make my mobiles look, I personally have not adorned my phones dress up in these. Maybe when I finally found my ideal life time three active sim phone available – which is not very soon, because that type of unit does not exist just yet.
Bags are on top of women’s essentials. But lately alternatives like celli purses are made available in the market. If for some reason, you need a breather from the usual humongous purses, then this could be it for you. A sweet break for your rather sore shoulders. Seriously now, I cannot imagine how men survive without a handbag. Ah yes, they get their treat by throwing in their extra stuff inside their wives’ and girlfriends’ purses, which we don’t mind, for the record.
Celli purses are coined as such because unlike other tiny bags of the time past, these babies are essentially cell phone cases with extra slots for other important stuff like keys, moneys and even
credit cards. I have seen a few styles and variations, mostly made of faux leathers. But as with other fashion stuff, this may later come in other varied designs.
Okay so there are celli purses. But then again, women will always favor purses, even the big ones over these tiny alternatives. It can be a little too small for the average woman. It is a little too limiting. Personally, I still favor big purses, even those extra large ones. The top two most hoarded stuff by women are these: bags and shoes. Women of all shapes and forms have got their own collection nook of these babies.
