JUST a few more days and it’s going to be December, which means it’s that time of the year again wherein people will scramble to look for gifts for their manitos and manitas for the Christmas party or for their loved ones.
Apart from searching for a place to shop, one of the concerns when it comes to Christmas shopping is the budget, especially since we all want to give our loved ones the best gift they deserve.
Good thing there's a shop in the uptown area that does not only sell branded goods but also at very affordable price.
Sacs D'or (or Bags of Gold as translated from French), established on October 23, is a boutique shop mainly for brand new and pre-owned bags, perfumes, cosmetics and jewellery which were imported from Italy, United States, Japan, Dubai and Hong Kong.
The branded bags include: Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Kate Spade, Anello, and others.
The perfumes are also branded like Lanvin Eclat d'Arpege, Clinique, Bvlgari, Versace, Lacoste, Acqua di Gio, Burberry, among others.
You might think that since the bags and perfumes sold in the shop are branded, it will be too expensive. Surprisingly enough, they are affordable and cheaper than the same kind of products you see in malls.
One example is their best-selling perfume, Lanvin Eclat d'Arpege, which, according to Dela Cruz is worth P4,500 to P5,000 in malls, can be bought at P3,000 in her shop.
Anello bags from Japan will cost P3,000 in Manila, however, it can be purchased at P2,500 in Sacs D'or.
Since Sacs D'or is a shop for pre-owned and branded bags, they also accept and sell bags that look good as brand new even though it’s already used and owned by someone before.
It is through consigning that they could help those people who wanted to sell their bags, which have no damage and still brand new, to other people who might be interested.
The owner of the boutique is also quite passionate and loves bags, which is actually one of the reasons why she decided to open Sacs D'or.
Layaway plan and credit card payments will soon be available.
This will open the opportunity for those in the middle class of the society to buy branded products in her boutique.
Sacs D'or is located on Masterson Ave., uptown Cagayan de Oro City, underneath Stonestown Suites.
