Talk turns to cake and instant noodles at Loewe reopening

Luxury handbags always draw women out of the woodwork - especially celebrities and socialites.

Canto-pop singer and actress Kelly Chen Wai-lam attended the reopening of Spanish leather bag and coat maker Loewe's new shop at Ocean Centre on Wednesday.

The store, spruced up to resemble a jewellery box with help from architect Peter Marino, features wooden walls painted gold.

A host of stars and models took to the catwalk to showcase the brand's shiny new collection.

Chen, wrapped in a leather dress, was excited about the bags but even keener to talk about her two-year-old son, Chace Lau Sing. She proudly recalled how he'd asked for a piece of cake as a treat by showing her a flash card of a cake.

Model Mikki Yao, refreshed after a five-day trip to the Maldives, seems to have returned hungry.
