Crazy cat lady who loves afternoon tea, kawaii Japanese fashion, and all things Sanrio.

This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival is going to be an exciting one - not just because there are bubble tea mooncakes, but also because there are many aesthetically-pleasing varieties to choose. Some examples include 7-Eleven’s My Melody mooncakes, glossy galaxy lotus mooncakes, and thousand layer character mooncakes with designs like unicorns and Sanrio's Little Twin Stars.

Social Place’s Mid-Autumn handbag sets feature 6 snowskin mooncakes, with 2 pieces each of the following flavours: Yuzu Martini, Pandan with Gula Melaka, and good old Mao Shan Wang Durian.

Each set comes in an insulated box to keep the mooncakes fresh, before being placed in a pretty bag in blue or khaki - though the latter looks more like a pale yellow than anything. Do note that the choice of bag colour is subject to availability.

As a final finishing touch, each bag comes with a scarf ribbon tied around its handle, along with a little bag tag with gold logo for extra luxe points.

The 6-piece mooncake sets cost $78, which works out to $13 per piece - that’s a decent price considering you’re getting an actual handbag for free. It may not be a Birkin or Chanel, but hey, it looks hella classy either way, so why not?

⁣⁣Social Place Singapore’s handbag mooncake sets are only available for in-store collection at their outlet in Forum, Orchard, until 1 October 2020, from 11.30AM to 2.30PM and 6PM to 9PM.

You do not have to dine-in at their restaurant in order to purchase them, but it’s still worth checking out their Cantonese fare since you’re going to be there anyway. Place your orders here.
