Malaysian Spirit

FASH and the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin

The start of 2010 has brought an abundant of opportunities for us to meet our fellow countrymen in many different settings. It began with an OMEC Yes brainstorming session on the proposed events for the year. A small group of OMEC Yes including FASH, were invited to join the team in charge of organising several events to raise the profile of the Young Entrepreneur Section of the Overseas Malaysian Executive Council (see link for more info on OMEC http://www.my-omec.com/).

We threw a couple of ideas around and now we are in charge of spearheading a few of the OMEC Yes events this year. Exciting times ahead for FASH! We have one event coming soon which we will be unveiling all the details on the blog soon. Look out for it!

Next, we attended the OMEC AGM in Corus Hotel, London. We had the chance to meet many of the top Malaysian and Malaysian-linked professionals and entrepreneurs.

To top it all off, we had the chance to hear the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin speak at the Malaysian High Commission in London. He was an impressive speaker, seamlessly speaking in both English and Malay, capturing the audience with his easy manner and well thought out words. He seemed genuinely concerned about the education system in Malaysia and eager to ensure that no efforts will be spared to improve it. Being mothers of young children, it was very reassuring.

He revealed then that the top 20 Schools in Malaysia would be in unveiled soon. When the list was announced recently, we were pleasantly surprised and immensely proud of the fact that both our schools were No.1 & No.2 of the top 20 Schools in Malaysia. Go Sri Aman and STF!

A good start to the year. Our aim for this year is to take FASH to the next level and be better than ever before. With the help of the fashies, we'll get there.

Silver Streak

Bored of Black? For us a good substitute to a basic black bag/shoes/outfit is silver or gold. Either one or the other can match with other colours. Today we have 2 fabulous silver handbags and a black wallet on offer.

It's been awhile since we found a nice Tod's bag for the fashies. You see the Tod's outlet has good deals every once in awhile where they slash the price even further. When FASH began, we bought the first lot of Tod's bags during the clearance price reductions. It's difficult to turn back now as we know the fashies expect the super low prices we managed to get early on. So we do apologize for the long wait in between our Tod's collection.

FASH Does Birkin - Coup D'etat!

Helloooooo!!

Yes...fashies...you don't need to do a double-take...Read it and weep.We just sold a Birkin to a The Ultimate Male Fashie who purchased it as a Valentine surprise for his incredibly lucky wife.We would kill to be in her shoes right now! Best of all, the wife is completely unaware!! Some people seriously have all the luck. Believe you me, our hubbies have not heard the end of this.

For those in the know, an Hermes Birkin is probably the most elusive handbag to purchase. Hermes only opens up the list to order a Birkin for a few hours in any given year. On top of that, even the staff are not told when the list is open. It is almost pure luck to be able to order one, unless of course you are the ultimate fashionista like Posh Beckham, who has 100 Birkins. Jealous!!! In Malaysia and Singapore, you have to wait 18 months to 3 years for your Birkin to arrive.

How did we do it?? Now that's a trade secret..What we can share with you is that we managed to order a Birkin for a fashie recently. When we got the call to pick up the bag, due to personal reasons the fashie was not able to proceed with the purchase. Hermes only allows a really limited time before they sell it to someone else. We decided to advertise it on our Facebook Status Update. Within an hour, we had more than 30 enquiries. In 2 hours, we agreed on the sale and the The Ultimate Male Fashie banked in the total amount on the same day. Taaa Daaah!

Anyway....until the 'Valentine Birkin' is personally hand-delivered by First Class to the The Ultimate Male Fashie, we took the opportunity to take some pictures and drool endlessly at the Birkin...and share it with all the fashies...

Oh Coco....

For all the travelling we do, we make sure that we are back in London in January and July. Oh Yes...you can certainly try, but you will not succeed in dragging us away from 'The Sale'...Not just any sale, THE CHANEL SALE.....

Alot of fashies might be wondering, Chanel has a sale? Oh yes they do..but as most countries only have 1 or 2 stores with limited stock, what goes on sale could be only 2 or 3 bags. In London, one of the fashion capitals of the world, where Chanel has 6 stores, quite a bit of past season stock goes on sale. We're not sure how long Chanel started giving discounts, but that is a much better option than the rumour that they burn unsold stock to maintain their exclusivity. Can you imagine???

Of late, Chanel is probably the most coveted brand for handbags. Of course, Hermes can boast to make the most wanted bag but for most, due to their exhorbitant price range and strict waiting list, an Hermes bag is simply out of reach. Chanel on the other hand is a luxury brand that you can definitely get your hands on. But let us forewarn you, this will not be for long.

Every single time we have a special request for Chanel classic, it is sold out. A brand new Chanel classic bag is like gold dust. And this time around, the Chanel bags on sale were much less than previous years. The reality is, a Chanel bag is a must-have....and they can't make it fast enough to meet the ever burgeoning demand.

But FASH always has something up our sleeves. We are offering fashies the chance to order a Chanel bag. But be quick! We can guarantee that it is sold out in 2 days.
