Merry Xmas!

I went buying a little present for a kid (a pair of colourful socks!) and I got this small paper shopper with Xmas decors.

It's by Undercolors of Benetton, I think it's nice!

I like to use seasonal bags to carry my lunch when I go to work, or to bring presents!

I went to Paris!

I went to Paris at the beginning of the month for helping come collegues during a motorcycle fair.
I stayed from Friday to Monday.

Unfortunately when I arrived it was raining and it rained everyday but we were really lucky to have a sunny Monday, the day we went for a small trip in the city centre!
We stopped at some nice shops and I had to go to see the famous Ladurée! I bought some macarons, of course! I got this lovely paper bag that I think I'm going to use very carefully ;)

Shopper on the beach

Last weekend I went to Cervia and I decided to use one of the shopper that my friend took in Berlin for me at the beginning of the year.
The RAER jeans shopper was so perfect!
What do you think? I love it :)

Dandy - woman fashion store

One of my many activities is making websites.
A friend of mine asked me to realize the new website of his clothing shop, called "Dandy".
During the making of the website he asked me also to draw a design for the shoppers that was "connected" with the website!
So, following his ideas and favourite colours, I've made some sketches:

My friend decided to produce the following one:

And... now you can see the result!!! THEY ARE REAL!!!
Do you like them??? I actually love them and use them everyday!!! :D

This is the store website www.dandysas.com

Mandarina Duck

Last month I gave my boyfriend a present, a computer bag by Piquadro. I got a Mandarina shopper instead of a Piquadro one! I didn't mind that because usually the Mandarina bags are nice.

This one is really BIG!

It's like a big envelope with the Mandarina Duck logo as stamp :)

It's a paper bag with yellow rope grips.

I'm sure it will be helpful when I need to carry big things!!!

I went shopping

Last weekend I went shopping! My arms were hurting... I had so many shoppers to carry!
But this time to be honest none of them were nice enough to be put in this blog!
I went to:
. H&M - we all know their shoppers are not special...
. LEVI'S - brown paper bag with the logo...
. COIN - maybe I could give this a small place here... just because it's black and fuchsia!
. DEN STORE - like the Levi's one!

Waiting for next shopping for more beautiful shoppers!!!! :)

Anyway at H&M I bought a dress that I can't wait to wear!
<--- Here it is!

I've got a Spanish heart... Custo Barcelona

Few days ago I went to Fidenza Outlet Village. I went for some last minute sale shopping and I felt in love with the Custo Barcelona shop... again! I visited last year the shop in Barcelona, it was so nice, full of colours and beautiful patterns.
This time I bought 2 dresses, one for winter and one for summer! But you know what I have to talk about here... the shopper!




I got this colourful plastic shopper with 2 different prints on the sides.
On one side there's a girl and on the other a man, both with glasses. It looks like a bit geeky for me! I like it! Most of all the pattern on the man's shirt.

California love!

Got this quite big paperbag from a shop in the city where I live, Cento, when my boyfriend bought some pairs of jeans!

I must say... California loves cars, guns and pin-ups!!!!

3 from Berlin 3!

A lovely friend of mine went to Berlin in January for the Fashion Week.
She's been so kind to bring me home 3 shoppers! Here they are:


The Ecobag by Germano made in Italy

I really like this bag because it's like it's made of wool and during this cold days I use it a lot to keep "warm" my extra things that I can't put inside my real bag!
I also like the colours combination...








The Desigual black shopper

I already have a Desigual shopper but this is a bit different, the one I got from Madrid just have the name on it with wonderful colours, this one explains the customer what's about Desigual brand, the key word DREAM. It says to me: "in a dark world you can make colourful dreams with us!"







The RAER jeans shopper

I can't believe this is NOT a real bag!
I really like it and I'm pretty sure I'll use it a lot next summer to go to the beach!
It is really long so I think I'm going to do a small knot to make it a bit shorter! It says "bag recycle, bag restyle"... is it made by left over jeans pieces? I'm going to find out... I would be great! Don't you think?
Please feel free to leave a comment :)

What... a... couple!

Yes, they are just white paper bag... but just putting those logos on them and... ta-da! 2 iconic shoppers!
As simple as chic!



My boyfriend bought a cardigan from GUESS and my aunt bought a moisturizer from Chanel.

They both know my obsession so they immediately gave me those bags!!! :D

Acqua dell'Elba

Last summer I spent 12 days on the Elba Isle, in Tuscany. I don't think it's known as well as the Tuscany region itself, but it's a really nice place where to spend some holidays!




Before I left I wanted to take with me a "souvenir" that would remind me of the sun, the beach and the freshness of that place. So I decided to buy an Eau de Parfume called "Elba's water", I'm happy I bought it! It smells so good.
Of course with the EDP I got this tiny cute shopper, with the colours that remind me of Elba Isle.

Intimissimi... what a colours combination!

Maybe you know Intimissimi... it's an Italian brand for underwear and comfy clothes.

I go shopping there quite often, when i find something that I like I usually buy it in every colour they have... so I shoudn't be surprised by the amount of bag I have by Intimissimi!!!

They are paper shoppers so quite easy to ruin or break, but I really like the colours, outside and inside! In the pics you can see also the inside... lovely...!

Desigual from Madrid

This shopper doesn't need loads of explanations... Desigual is a Spanish clothes brand known for its colours and unique patterns.
I went to Madrid last year on May and I had to stop in this shop in the centre of the city, near Puerta del Sol. Very nice shop assistants and great clothes and accessories!
I was very happy to walk around the city with this beautiful and handy shopper on my shoulder!

white lace shopper

Hello!!!

Yesterday I went to a shop called AMA in my hometown Cento and I bought 3 pairs of leggings (they are so comfy!) But that’s not the point… The sale assistant put them inside a cute plastic shopper decorated with white lace: when I saw it I couldn’t help myself and I said “What a nice shopper!”

Fortunately I didn’t say it loudly and she didn’t hear me

So here it is the “White Lace Shopper”!

Grassa Gallina

This is a quite big paper bag! It's from a Restaurant near the place where I work, it's called Grassa Gallina (Fat hen) Osteria e Bottega di Paese (Local Restaurant and shop).
I got this bag when I bought presents for some friends: teas and mugs.
The food here is really good there are 2 menus, one is from Gandma Iole and the other from Simone the owner. Traditional food with some new ideas! I come here for special occasions and when friends come to visit me.
The logo of the Restaurant is on the side.
As you can see, on the shopper there are the Grannys of the owners with kitchen tools and high heels! So funny :)
