tippytapp: Doorstep Luxury: Bags and shoes and bagsssss!!

Monochrome minimalist outfit the other day with my current favourite bag from Sophie Hulme!

I get a lot of my fashion inspiration online, especially through Instagram. It was also through this platform I first got to learn about the brand Sophie Hulme because I saw it on one of my favoruite fashion bloggers from China whom I follow. The bag was love at first sight for me so of course I started hunting high and low for it! And then I found Doorstep Luxury which is one of the exclusive retailers of the brand in Singapore!!

SO AWESOME.

I went down to their retail store located at 163 Telok Ayer Street to check out the store and to shop a little. By the way, Telok Ayer Street has some of the nicest eateries with some pretty spots to take #ootds haha. It is quaint, quiet and full of surprises - just like Doorstep Luxury.

If you are a huge fan of Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Clutch... TADAAAAHHHH!!

Every colour possible can be found in store! Silver chain, gold or rose gold chain for Mini MAC or normal MAC, you name it, they have it!

I love this Twilight Sky colour!

As I ventured a little deeper into the store, I fell in love with the envelope clutches from Marshall Bergman! Prior to this visit, I have never heard of the brand but I really love the sleek and elegant finishing. Laptop/tablet bags they may be but I think they look fantastic as a clutch too!

I always have a soft spot for camel brown bags so this really caught my eye. (So did the forest green one actually... *sheepish smile*)

Of course, here's the coveted Sophie Hulme corner which I adore. I like the classic + minimalist design of her collections which may look simple with the gold buckles but the design speaks volume. For the fun-loving you, you might want to consider the bright seasonal colours like the yellow or kelly green as seen above!

If you are looking for a work bag, the Mini Zip Top Bowling Bag (black or cream/navy bag pictured above) would be a great choice too!

Anyway, after I carried my Sophie Hulme out, friends were texting me and asking me about it and I was surprised to learn that they are ALSO fans of the brand! For the uninitiated, most of my friends do not actually fancy big brands, they very much prefer contemporary designers with understated classiness which I am taking a liking to lately!

Personally I love the hot pink Soft Zip Top Buckle Tote (on sale now!!) but I do wear quite a lot of colours so it would be a little difficult for me to match it with my already colourful outfits. So I got the same design in black! Hehehe. It is so roomy, extremely convenient for me as I don't have to arrange my belongings to fit the crazy load of stuff I bring out, plus I can even fit my laptop in it! It is basically perfect for me as I start to love bags that fit more than just my wallet and handphone. Wait till you feel the buttery leather! *heart-eye emoticon*

I had a hard time putting this clutch (also from Sophie Hulme) back on the shelves......

No, I haven't forgotten about the SHOES section. I would totally wear that pair of orange sandals from Emblem if they actually have it in size 35!

We all need a pair of python skin orange sandals right???

How about a pair of python flats instead?

For all you Melissa Shoes fans, now you know of another store where you can purchase/check sizes at! ;)

Doorstep Luxury brings in a lot of international contemporary brands which I have started appreciating lately. Expect to see designers such as Rebecca Minkoff, Sophie Hulme, Zatchels, Orla Kiely, Liebeskind, Whiting & Davis, Seasonal Whispers and local jewellery designers like Carrie K, Marilyn Tan, DUSK and Saught!
