my biggest vice are handbags, when my fren Maria told me that theres a shop here in Maadi that does very good leather bags and can make them in any design in any color...i almost flipped! as i walked in the shop....i was stunned..the bags are really nice and are made well. All of us was going crazy looking at the bags...we wanted to take all of them with us.
