KABINET SALON PRIVE OFFERS NEW AND PRE-USED HERMES BIRKIN AND KELLY BAGS PLUS VARIOUS DESIGNER BRANDS AND ACCESSORIES AT VALUE PRICES. KABINET IS LOCATED IN SAME BUILDING AS ELEGANCE CLUB.
'KABINET' DOES NOT REFER TO FURNITURE MAKING AS SOME ASSUMED. INDEED, DATO SERI ROSZ RAMELAN SAID SHE RECEIVED SOME CALLS FROM FURNITURE SUPPLIERS ASKING IF THEY COULD DISPLAY THEIR CABINETS ON CONSIGNMENT!
SAYS THE GLAMOROUS AND BEAUTIFUL DATO SERI ROSZ, "YES, THE WORD 'KABINET' COMES FROM 'CABINET' WHICH REFERS TO THE 19TH CENTURY EUROPEAN CUSTOM OF ASSEMBLING A 'CABINET OF CURIOSITIES'---LITERALLY A CUPBOARD WITH GLASS SHOWCASES TO DISPLAY RARE, PRECIOUS AND VALUABLE OBJECTS AND UNUSUAL THINGS BROUGHT HOME FROM EXOTIC FAR EAST, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA.
THESE ITEMS RANGED FROM SEYCHELLES COCONUT, HORNS, SKINS, TRIBAL ART, CHINESE SNUFF BOXES, IVORY CARVINGS, FOSSILS, GEODES, POTTERY, PORCELAIN AND THINGS NEVER SEEN BEFORE. TRADING SHIPS WOULD BRING TO EUROPEAN PORTS ALL SORTS OF STRANGE STUFF SOUGHT AFTER BY KINGS, HIS COURT AND THE ARISTOCRACY. THINGS THAT NOW SEEM COMMON WERE RARE AND IN DEMAND TWO OR THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO AND VICE VERSA!
"NO PALACE OR MANSION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT SUCH CABINETS OF CURIOSITIES!"
INDEED KABINET DISPLAYS ITS PRECIOUS HERMES BIRKIN AND KELLY BAGS IN CABINETS THE SAME WAY EUROPEAN NOBILITY SHOWED OFF THEIR PRIZED POSSESSIONS.
THE STAR OF THE SHOW IS A RARE, LIMITED EDITION, 30 CM HIMALAYAN BIRKIN HANDBAG WITH FULL WHITE WESSELTON DIAMONDS ON ITS BUCKLE AND PADLOCK. THIS IS CONSIDERED THE 'HOLY GRAIL' OF BIRKIN BAGS AND THE ONLY ONE IN MALAYSIA, RETAILING AT A JAW-DROPPING RM 2.5 MILLION. IN THE NEXT CABINET IS A SIMILAR BUT DIAMOND-LESS HIMALAYAN CROCODILE BIRKIN AT A MERE RM 400,000!
Across Kabinet is Elegance Club's showroom where a massive diamond necklace also costs RM 2.5 million. But we are comparing apple with orange! Both can be eaten but comparison ends here!
