May Purchase: Columbia Bag 💕

For the month of May I was a little bipolar again. What I meant is I told myself that I should not buy anything as long as I am not yet done organizing the room, discarding some stuff and emptying out all my skin care products. And I know it will take me until end of this year for everything to be done. As I don't have much time for it. But then month of May was the start of the sale across the UAE. So I can't really help it making some purchases for various reasons.

Sometime in 2013 when I switched to using leather goods and bags are included. There is nothing wrong in owning a leather bag. As it can last a lifetime. But my mistake was I got excited and over the years I accumulated at least 6 leather bags without considering other things. Yes leather bags look good in the office and formal occasions. But what about other occasions? I was about to go on a vacation and I don't even have a travel bag, travel kit for toiletries. Or any other practical bag that is not too heavy when travelling or roaming around.

This was my first ever purchase from Columbia. Well I know that this is a well known brand for shoes and apparel meant for outdoor activities. I always wanted to have a Columbia shoes but no place or occasion for me to wear them. And its a bit expensive for me. Everything are expensive as per my salary bracket. The only reason I have chosen this Columbia bag was during the sale it was the cheapest I can find in the market. And because of the color I can also use this in the office.

I LOVE colorful bags but I have an issue on how to clean them so I opted for a gray color at least it won't get dirty so much. And this is a very huge bag. I can even use it when I will go for swimming or shopping. And upon the first use I wanted to get some more Columbia bags like travel kit and bagpack.

From what I understood it meant that the bag is water repellant. I know there's no rain in the UAE but I also considered what if I'm somewhere where it has a rain or snow? And even if I'm not what if I'm outside and someone accidentally spill a drink on it? And also I take it as this material is easy to clean. I'll just put it in the washing machine and voila! I tried to use a small bag in the past but to no avail. I'm someone who has to bring the whole house with me whenever I go outside.

I'm not sure how much was the original price but the sale price cost 65.00AED and as I've said this is the most affordable I can find in the market. Compared to other bags from Adidas, Reebok, Nike, The NorthFace and Timberland. And that's all for today. Thanks for dropping by. Till next time. Ciao!
