I am living with my husband in Tokyo since last two years. I have heard lot about the New Year’s Day sale in Tokyo. The habitants of Japan call this sale as lucky bags sale. It normally starts on 1st January and last for one or two days. Some brand / store offer this sale for one day i.e 1st day of New Year and some continues it for next day.

First of all we went to the LeSport Sac and buy a lucky bag which cost us in $150. This bag contains further more 4 bags in it which are following:

  • A messenger cum laptop bag
  • A tote bag
  • A makeup bag
  • A mini-backpack

Then we went to the Bath and body bought two bags of $8 and $15 respectively. In these bags gift sets were there which I like the most.

Here we buy a bag with the price of $100. This bag contains four items in it.

  • A hipster Bag
  • A tote
  • A wallet (The wallet was very beautiful and best quality)
  • A playing card holder

Swatch

From Swatch we purchase a bag with price $92. It contains the thing I love those. The items are following:

  • A hat

  • 2 watches (These watches are for couple one for me and one for my husband. I like the watch most because it style was very beautiful and sophisticated.)

I and my husband are fully contended with out lucky bags and the items these bags contain. That is why we do not need to trade these items with other because all the items are good and we like and need them in our daily life. We enjoy the sale very much and we decide to go on next year sale and buy more bags than this year.
