All girls enjoy when they’re pampered with gifts, it makes them feel loved and important.

Fear not, cause i just made the perfect guide for you and there is no doubt that by the end of this, you will be able to get those gifts in no time.
1. Size don’t Matter
When you’re buying a gift for a loved one, small or big, it won’t matter to them but what’s going to matter is that they’re going to know that you remembered them. Sometimes, they might just prefer small gifts and how meaningful it is to them. A little cute charm or a heart-shaped ring might just earn you a little smooch under the mistletoe.
2. Luxe Shoes
Remember that line from a Cardi B song that goes, “These expensive, these is red bottoms,These is bloody shoes”.Everyone knows Cardi B is a queen, well when you have someone in your heart, you have to make her feel like a queen and what better way than to gift her those real red bottoms right? Remember that our Louboutins are very limited, so make sure to grab them before they’re gone!
3. Cool with a Purpose
If you’re planning to gift someone who’s always on the go and literally puts her life in one satchel, then a handbag is the best gift for christmas. Women and handbags are inseperable, it’s like we depend our life on it cause we shove every important thing in one place. Plus, when you’re always on the run, a simple,stylish,light and multi-efficient bag is the element to care for.
4. Cute Chic
Crossbody bags are a huge trend that will last 100 years to come and trust me, every girl must have at least 10 sling bags in her closet. One for a casual day out, one for work and one for a special occasion. Most crossbody bags vary in different sizes so you might get confused on which one to get but don’t worry, that’s what i’m here for right?

Pair your favorite bomber jacket underneath that poppin’ print coat for a boost of confidence. Get yourself some leather shorts to accentuate the look and pair it with knee length boots. To top it off, you can either wear a shoulder sling bag or a tote bag. Even if you’re just a tourist, you should never look like one. Plus, you’d need a lot of color and boldness for all that insta updates, hit it up with a subtle background for your picture and wait for those likes and comments ringing!

Everything you would like to know about the Hermes Kelly Bag!
Posted by Glampot Admin on
It was revealed in an interview with Pierre Grosperrin, an artisan working at Hermès for the past 14 years that the handle of the Hermes Kelly bag is the hardest to make. Each Kelly Bag takes up to 18 -20 hours to make, with every texture and detail in place, it takes four hours to craft and perfect the handle only.
The studs on the bag are designed to protect the soft and supple leather from damaging when the bag comes in contact with various surfaces. The finish on the studs always matches the finish on the buckle hardware, lock, and keys in order to resist tarnishing. Even with heavy duty use, the studs should maintain their fresh appearance and resist major scuffing.
Lock and Keys - One of the signature pieces of hardware on Kelly bags is the lock and keys. There are numerous subtle details on both the lock and keys to help you distinguish authentic Kellys from high quality fakes. The keys for the bag come enclosed in a leather lanyard known as a clochette which is carried by looping it through the handle of the bag.
| Leather type | Description |
| Clemence | Comes from baby bull, scratch resistant and looks grainy, flat and matted |
| Epsom | Extremely light and scratch resistant, and very easy to clean |
| Varanus | Lizard leather, in high demand due to fact it can dry out and available in matte and lisse |
| Fjord | Adult leather with soft texture, heavier and water resistant |
| Swift | Very soft leather with extremely fine grains, suited for bright colours |
| Togo | Baby calf leather, soft pebbled finish and scratch resistant |
| Ostrich | Ostrich leather is distinguishable due to the pores on the surface |
| Alligator | Can come in either matte, with a smooth plain look or lisse which is shinier |
| Crocodile Niloticus | Comes from crocodiles in the region of Africa's Nile River, near the country of Zimbabwe |
| Berenia Natural | Old type, from calf and originally for Hermes saddles |
| Buffalo Skipper | Rare leather made from water buffalo, very soft and has grained appearance |
| Box Calf | Oldest type of leather available, used in first productions of Kelly bags and extremely smooth to the touch and slightly shiny finish |
| Chevre de Coromandel | Goat leather, lightweight and scratch resistant with smooth finish |
| Doblis Suede | Suede leather made with a napped finish and very smooth make |

Tips on Taking Care of Your Leather Bag
Posted by Glampot Admin on
Hmm… Taking care of leather goods can be tricky sometimes, especially if it’s an item that you mostly care about…
So how do you take care of a leather handbag without ruining it?
THE QUICK WIPE-DOWN
You should definitely wipe your handbag once a week with warm, soapy water. Mix a small amount of mild liquid soap to warm water and use a soft damp cloth to wipe away any dirt from the outside of your bag.
To avoid ruining the leather, always wipe away any dirt with the grain of the handbag. When cleaning REAL leather bags, DO NOT use baby wipes, as they tend to dry out the leather and create marks that are unavoidable by the eye. Non-alcoholic baby wipes are ONLY applicable to Canvas bags, not leather!
INK MARKS
The key to removing ink marks on your leather bag is to treat them straight away. The best advice given right now is to take the bag to see a professional as soon as possible. If you’re unable to, you could always try special ink removing products for leather and follow its care instructions, making sure to condition the area right after and leave to dry properly.
If the ink stains happened to be old, DO NOT try to remove these by yourself! As they will likely be too stubborn and will need professional care.
STUFF ‘EM
Always be sure to keep your bag stuffed while you’re not using it to keep the bag’s shape.
WHAT ABOUT GREASE STAINS?
Grease stains should be easily wiped off without any other media than a soft cloth whatsoever. NEVER use water on grease stains as it will destroy instead of saving your bag.
SPOT-TEST A CLEANING METHOD
Before trying on any cleaning methods on your bag, be sure to try them out first before applying them onto the bag. Preferably somewhere on the interior of the bag it can’t be seen by prying eyes.
NO HANDCREAMS
Avoid, avoid, avoid! Holding your handbag if you’ve just applied hand cream…. It’s either that or more grease stains on your bag!
If you buy a bag that came with its own dust bag, use it. These aren’t just for pretty packaging, they are significantly intended to keep your bags dust-free when they’re not being used. If your bag happen to lost or doesn’t have its own dust bag, don’t fret, an old pillowcase should do the trick.
KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE SUN!
Talk about vampires. Make sure to keep your bags away from direct sunlight as it will cause the colour to fade, and potentially damage the leather.
GETTING RID OF THAT SMELL
To get rid of the ever lingering smells in your bags, especially vintage bags, you could easily do it by placing an open container of baking powder carefully inside the bag, then place the bag into a dust bag or pillowcase and leave them be for 24 hours. The baking powder should absorb any unwanted odours.
CARE DURING STORAGE
If the bag you carry has adjustable straps, especially the kind of straps that contains metal, be sure to store them all in and keep them inside the bag before storing. You wouldn’t want your precious Chanel to be marred by strap and buckle indentations.
DON’T FORGET TO AIR THEM OUT
Yes, keeping your bags in storage is safe, and clean, and obviously crucial, but it’s also important for you to air them at least once every two weeks. You could do this by simply taking the bags out of their dust bags and place them on top of it, leave them for an hour or two, then put them back in. BUT KEEP THEM AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT!!!
We hope these tips could help you in taking care of your designer handbags, do shop with us soon! :)

If the bag you carry has adjustable straps, especially the kind of straps that contains metal, be sure to store them all in and keep them inside the bag before storing. You wouldn’t want your precious Chanel to be marred by strap and buckle indentations.
DON’T FORGET TO AIR THEM OUT
Yes, keeping your bags in storage is safe, and clean, and obviously crucial, but it’s also important for you to air them at least once every two weeks. You could do this by simply taking the bags out of their dust bags and place them on top of it, leave them for an hour or two, then put them back in. BUT KEEP THEM AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT!!!
