Vince Lee

Vince Tan Lee
III BS Communications Technology Management

If you're an Atenean, you've probably seen his buoyant smiles and heard his infectious laughter already. It's hard enough not to notice his radiating vivacity, how much harder would it be if it comes with huge designer bags to boot?

It isn't everyday that we get to see what's inside the LV of one of the familiar faces around campus; today, however, seems to be our lucky day. "I like bringing over-sized bags 'cause you can just stuff everything inside." True enough, this is what Vince does.


What's in the bag of the posh and classy Vince Lee

Clockwise from top: Over-sized LV wallet, fashion magazine, iTouch and earphones, Versace perfume, compact umbrella, D40 Nikon DSLR, Prada pouch/pencil case, pocket notebook, laptop, Prada card holder

Quite a few things, but they say a lot about him. Known for his high fashion taste, we expected to find a collection of Pradas and Louis in his bag. What took us by surprise though, is the fact that they were bought from Vince's own stash. "Of course I bought it from allowance and like angpaos," was his bubbly response to our awestruck faces. Yes you got it right, he doesn't just splurge away, Vince actually saves for these splendid treats..even the big bad Nikon.

Impressed already? We haven't even told you how his wonderful personality could turn even the most dreary activities something more like him - fun and appealing. As you would notice, this school bag is seemingly short of a notebook for lectures. When asked if he brings any legit notebooks with him, he answers "No, I don't really have a notebook, I just scribble everything in that tiny one." If you can see the artsy doodles above, you'll find them to be really so Vince! Plus, it's actually a more interesting and enjoyable way to jot down reminders and notes from daily class discussions.



Prada vs. LV? No, this doesn't seem to be the case. His top three essentials are actually his big LV wallet, his compact Prada card holder and his versatile Prada pouch which holds his gadgets and serves as his pencil case as well.

Wait, two Pradas vs. one LV? So Prada wins?
Let's not push the feud, Vince clarifies that he doesn't really favor a certain brand, it simply depends on which pieces look better.


Vince admits he is a pouch person, it keeps his things more organized especially since he loves using more spacious ones. This one here houses his Globe and Sun cell phones, iTouch and a few pens.
He actually bought this Prada when he was thirteen, using his own savings! It was his first, he shares.

Isn't it just amazing how he can manage to budget his own passion for high fashion to-die-for pieces? For that all we can say is that you truly deserve all the splendid things, Vince!
