This is the pair of Doc Marts that I am currently wearing everyday to work. Its actually a used pair. Kasut bundle kononnya. Got is used in Penang at Lorong Kulit. Lorong Kulit is a flea market in Penang island. Used to be my favorite haunt. Its the one place that you can find almost everything you need. From fruit stalls to stolen birth certs…its all there! Its located behind the old Penang football stadium near Sungai Pinang road.
I paid like RM40 for it if not mistaken. Fake? I don’t think so. Stolen goods? Definitely I think. When I got the pair, it was all done up again. Polished, stuffed with news papers etc. The initial open price was RM80. F**k it. Where got people sell stolen shoes for that much. Anyway, it was obvious that they guy was in a hurry, so offered him RM40, he quickly took it. I slipped it into my daypack and shot off. Happy indeed.
Well…now I am putting into good use. Wearing it everyday. Really comfy this pair of shoes. I cannot imagine how much it would cost new. A couple hundred ringgits I reckon.
Check out the soles. I would say they have at least 80% life still to go. The design quite casual yet good enough for work wear.
At least it goes okay with my monkey suit. Oh yeah…that’s another thing I will share later. Even my daily monkey suit that I am wearing now are all used / recycle clothing. For fraction the price that I pay…I still dress up like a monkey…just like everyone else in the office!
me thinks they need some polish and TLC
nice monkstrap shoes though
Chrizsim…thanks for your comments. Yeah, agree with the polish and TLC. Have been rather lazy
Thanks for your comments.
Hi L.C,
May be i’m very knew to know
your website, but for sure i admitted that i really like it. As a bundle CLASS A follower (it means not any cheap bundle i just buy) i think i had some views to share with you and other viewers.
Nowadays, there are to many bundle shops in every places. Last week i went to Langkawi. surprisingly the bundle shop is dominant in some locations, for sure is not located in the expensive and strategic place.
When they are so many, so the bundle searcher like me now go for quality not quantity. i define the bundle item now is a transition period, from the clothe for rubber tapper to the collector item. It will value added the value of our collections.
But of course there are always a room for bundle clothes to whom searching for cheaper one.
I hope you will update (its good if you update almost everyday but for sure i know your barrier) to make reader know what is the trend to date.
At the same time why not expand your searching through the super branded item like Givenchy, Kate Spade and etc..coze i believe there are so many follower for that brand outside.
regards,
Zainudin.
Hi Zainuddin!
Thank you for dropping a comment on the blogsite.
I apologize for the delay in reply.
I have been caught up in work for the past few months and have not had the time to write about bundle.
To be honest, I tak la pandai sangat pasal trend bundle sekarang. Setakat apa yang I tahudan minat aje.
I pun dah tua (he…he…) dan tak larat nak ikut trend budak budak sekarang.
Yup, saya akan cuba update lagi blog ni. Baru baru ni ada pegi shopping bundle lagi, bolehlaa…dapat beberapa helai yang best gak
