Favorite Shops To Buy A Bag?

[tubehero]

Could you recommend some of your favorite shops to buy a bag, especially those smaller shops inside a shopping complex like MBK or Platinum Fashion Mall?

For example, although MBK is full of bag stores, I find it very difficult to buy anything there because you don't know which one to trust and most shops look the same.

BTW, I like the bags at Naraya.

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Brand is Charles and Keith. You can find the boutique at Central World and Terminal 21. Reasonably priced about 2000baht. Good quality.

Thank you for all your suggestion so far.

I really love to buy a good weather bag, but there are two main difficulties:

1. Bargaining: How much is fair?

2. Is it real leather?

Any info on a store you trust is welcome.

I used to buy my leather products at Louis Vuitton, Todds and Zegna until I examined the goods at a shop named "viera by ragazze". The one I go to is in Central Bang Na but to my understanding they also have retail shops at the following:

Central World 2 nd. floor Tel.0-2613-1028 , Central Ladprao 2 nd.floor Tel 0-2541-1315,Central Bangna 2 nd .floor Tel 0-2361-0613 ,Central Pinklao 1 st.fioor Tel. 0-2884-8218 ,Central Pattaya 2 nd.floor Tel.038-043344, Silom Complex 2 nd.floor Tel.0-2231-3190 , Huahin Market Village 1 st.floor Tel.032-526196 ,Jungceylon Phuket 1 st.floor Tel. 076-602134,Paragon M floor Tel.081-1739406, Isetan 3 rd.floor Tel.081-1739400 , Central Rm9 2 nd.floor Tel.0-2103-4533 ,

At Central Bang Na the quality is excellent and very inexpensive. Shoes that would cost 30,000 at Zegna are just 3900 at Viera for the same quality.

The bags are the same.

Real leather will not burn or melt. Ask the shopkeeper if real then take out your lighter. If they panic the story ends, if not then just a careful touch of the flame on on a hidden part should be adequate.

You can buy some old bags down Patpong
