Tsumori Chisato x Shu Uemura Train Case

The Tsumori Chisato for Shu Uemura Train Case is on display at the Shu Uemura store in Ion Orchard, which is the only stand-alone store in Singapore. Only 25 of these were made and they are not for sale. In Japan, three will be given away in a lucky draw.

As for Singapore, you first have to spend S$500 at the Ion store in order to place your first bid. And if you are outbid, you have to "top up your purchase to continue the auction". The bidding period is from now until 15 December and the highest bidder will be notified before 31 December. Frankly, I just find the scheme absurd. If they manufactured these train cases and sold them normally at the counter like they did with the Tokyo Kamon Girls collection, I would actually consider buying it. But to just drop a ton of cash without any certainty that you would actually win the darn thing? Go fly a kite.
