taobao batch 3

this will be the last batch of taobao orders before july, in order to complete my kimonos for the photoshoot.... supposed to get all my stuff in 2 batches but apparently some of the things i bought previously wasnt what i expect them to be & some of the extra items cant be found in SG... so have the get additional orders from taobao.....

batch 3 taobao orders
 not much things for this batch... the most important things are the zori (japanese sandal), tabi (japanese 2 toes socks) & the black cloth for haori... the previous cloth i bought was way too hard... is like wearing a plastic sheet....

my zori
the zori is really pretty... it would be better if i can find the gold colour zori but sadly those gold colour ones are way too expensive... this beautiful pair cost about 88rmb which is S$18.50... not say very cheap or expensive but definitely something that i cant find in SG.... thought of wearing geta (sandal wore with yukata in summer) since i have 2 pairs but want the whole look for my photoshoot so no choice but to buy.....

fabric paints
another important thing from this batch is the fabric paints.. previously i gotten mine from art friends but i not sure was it due to the shifting or order problem... the choices of fabric paints are pretty limited now & for colours i want, they only sell in small quantity.... so have to get from taobao again... i dont know about the quality of the paint but they are definitely cheaper than here... for the big bottles which is 500mL, it cost about S$17 but in SG, a 59mL will cost like S$5... so much cheaper.... most importantly, i cant find the sparkling gold fabric paint (small bottles) in SG.... shall try out the fabric paint soon, hopefully they are good =)
