House of Leather, Cikutra, Bandung

Wanting a leather bag that can be used daily but don't want the hefty price tag that goes with branded ones and also would freak out if those branded ones would get damaged due to "hardcore" use ^_^.

So in the end decided to buy local crafted handmade leather bags. Remembered a cousin of mine bought some in Bandung, decided to browse around and found an article on House of Leather! Sadly none described specifically how to get therebut there was a phone no, so made a call and got directions.

It's near Cikutra Hero Cemetary Park. You turn right from the cemetary, about 100 m, on the left side there's a signage that says "Tas Kulit". Since there isn't adequate parking space, you just park by the road and enter an alley and follow the arrow. The shop is actually in a small alley.

Got a black hobo style bag for IDR 500. Most of the bags were pretty large in size but I think the stocks changed often. Saw one which was modeled on the Coach Legacy bag but was made from suede which needs extra atention. Definately not for me LOL. Btw if you have a bag model you want to copy, you can make it here.

Hidup Medela Service Center

Total panic di saat menyadari mesin breastpump error. Pusying 7 keliling mengingat nasyib si baby mungil gmn nantinya. Bisa ajah seh pumping tangan, tp scr ga pro bgt jd ga pede bs restock si ASIP yg jumlahnya pas2an.
Tanya temen dpt inpoh si Medela service center ada di Klp. Gading. Alhasiillll abis surpey lapangan, meluncur lah dg si taksi burung biru menuju TKP. Muepeeet berat dg waktu turup 16.30. Tadinya disuruh tggalin, trus melihat tampang yang memelas, ditawarkan dibersihin dulu si mesin, sapa tau bisa (efek bbrp kali kemasukkan asi krn asinya berbuih yg katanya kmgkn krn si corong kuning kecil cacat kecil kena sikat cucian). Btw mrk py alat pengetes tekanan si mesin loohh. Dan sodara sodaraaaahhhh, ternyata bisa betuuullll *nari hujan lompat kodok
Tapi disaranin beli si corong kecil kuning (30 rb sajah) dan membrannya (harga idem). Tapi tnyataaaahhh krn si membran msh ada yg baru di kotak (ketauan ga pernah cek n ricek). Jd beli corong sajah, yeahhhhhh.
Alhasil lebih gede ongkos taksi daripada biaya service.
Tapi ga pa2! Thanx medela service center!
