BAGGAGE CLAIM

With a travelheav­y summer ahead, it seems only fair that I pay special attention to the bags towed away in storage. When the day for boxing the Christmas décor came, my mother also did away with bags we rarely used. Little did we know, we had amassed up to 30 or so pieces which never saw much the light of day. Most of them were tiny bags and shoulder bags that could not meet the expandabil­ity requiremen­ts of our usual day bags. While we have no trouble with everyday bags, special luggage needs are a different ballgame.

I treasure the memory-bruised four-piece luggage set that I have been lugging around for the past five years but I fear that, sturdy and pretty as they remain, they will have to retire. In order to avoid an unpleasant breakage incident which years of wear and tear may eventually cause, some bag perusal or shopping in this department is due.

Good thing there is the on-going Mega Shoes & Bags Sale in SM City Cebu. A whopping 50 percent discount can be had on a great selection of premium brands. For avid travelers, a big discount on Samsonite, American Tourister and Pacsafe bags are always worth a second look. Of course, shoe addicts can see what they like from Keds, Vans, Hush Puppies, Sperry, Grendha and Ipanema. The sale runs until February 23 at the Cebu Trade Hall in SM.

A most convenient piece of travel clothing has to be denims. They can be conservati­ve enough to suit modesty-conscious places. They keep you warm in chilly planes. And they are incredibly easy to fold and pack in your luggage pieces. Maybe it is time to get new pairs for you; in which case, explore the options at the Gap. You should not have any trouble finding a good one for a good price as all denim items are on 30 percent off!

If you welcome new clothes and bags into your space, you must have room for them. This is where storage demands set in. As if to complement the arrival of new bags, Metro Department Store in Ayala Center Cebu also has a sale which features storage solutions! Most of them come at half their original prices. You have until March 15 to bag them!
