Five CD collection. Formed in 1984 and hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, The Essence signed to UK label Midnight Music in 1985 a year after touring their homeland, and soon after released their debut 12" 'Endless Lakes' and their first full-length LP, Purity. After the favorable reception of their inaugural releases, especially within Europe, this paved the way for a successful 35-year career for the band, covered here in this set. Contains the albums Purity (1985), A Monument of Trust (1987), Ecstasy (1988), Nothing Lasts Forever (1991) and Afterglow (2015), plus all of their singles and the best of their B-sides and alternative versions - all chosen and curated by the band themselves. Widely known for their audible similarities to the Cure - Hans Diener is Robert Smith's vocal twin, and their numbers such as 'A Mirage' and 'The Cat' replicate the Cure's brooding guitar sound perfectly. However, although The Essence didn't become as well known within the States as the Cure, their albums such as Ecstasy and A Monument of Trust ensured the band became cult favorites, particularly amongst the goth rock crowd. Contains full sleeve notes focusing on the career of The Essence by singer and band-leader Hans Diener. Comes in a specially packaged clam-shell boxing, containing beautifully designed disc wallets replicating the original album artworks.

Polished Everyday Crossbody, Though Priced Like a Designer-Branded Bag
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
This crossbody bag has a clean, classic look that works well for everyday use, errands, travel, or casual outfits where you want something more polished than a basic purse. The north-south shape gives it a slim profile, so it does not feel overly bulky, but it still has enough room for daily essentials like a phone, wallet, keys, small cosmetics, cards, and other small items. The zipper closure is a practical feature because it keeps everything more secure than an open-top bag, especially when walking around, shopping, or traveling. The front and back zippered pockets are also useful for items you want quick access to, like a phone, receipt, lip balm, or transit card. I like that the layout keeps the bag organized without making it feel complicated. The material is mostly PVC with some polyester and polyurethane, so it has more of a coated designer-bag feel rather than soft genuine leather. That makes it easier to wipe clean and more resistant to everyday marks, but buyers should know they are paying more for the brand/style than for leather construction. The bag feels structured and presentable, but it may not have the same long-term aging or softness as a real leather crossbody. For comfort, the crossbody style is convenient because it keeps your hands free and distributes weight better than carrying a small handbag by hand. It is best for people who want a stylish everyday bag, not someone looking for a large tote or something that can carry bulky items. For pricing, similar branded crossbody bags usually range from about $80–$200, depending on the brand, size, material, and whether it is leather or coated canvas/PVC. At around $180, this is on the premium side for a PVC-blend crossbody, but it is fairly typical for the Michael Kors price range. Overall, it feels worth considering if you like the style and brand name, but value-focused buyers may want to compare sale prices or color options before paying full price.

Designer quality and design
Color: Vanilla/Acorn
This is the second Michael Kors bag in my collection, and I’m pleased with both of them. These are quality items that are timeless and complement pretty much everything that i own. At first, i thought that this was a travel bag in the sense that you would put toiletries in it, but it’s intended to be a smaller crossbody bag that you can travel with. It’s meant to hold essential items and look quite stylish while doing so. I chose this color since my luggage set and toiletry bags are all cream and brown. Classic, chic, elegant and sophisticated without screaming that this is a designer bag. This comes packaged beautifully and carefully so that it’s protected. The strap is adjustable on both sides. The bag lives up to Michael Kors quality and is worth every penny. I need a matching wallet or wristlet NOW. Highly recommended if you appreciate designer products that have a higher price point but will last for years and always be in style.
