I found out in one of the thread in Men's Style & Fashion that the brand Bonia is actually a Malaysia Brand?

anyway, I myself likes a few stuff from Bonia but then most of the time I browse around this section of the forum, it seems like almost no one talks bout Bonia stuff. Just wondering, is Bonia product really not worth getting? Or is it just not that popular among people here?

yes, its malaysian brand, its gud stuff actually, buying bonia handbag for my fiance , price bit expensive but the quality is very good and cool design too

its a good brand

but without the made in italy/france tag

Yes, seldom people talk about Bonia. Can't remember the name until moentioned now...lol

Sembonia is also part of Bonia

I got a Bonia leather shoes. Very comfortable although the leather texture not that nice, but can't say much since I got it cheap <RM400.

as for me,bonia 10+ years ago is much better than nowadays cz its imported and made from a pretty solid leather i must say (my moms handbag that she bought when i was 4 last till now and still looks good).talking bout price,there r still diff between common bonia being sold at metrojaya(for instance) n the 'special' one in the boutique.go 2 bonia boutique in subang parade and u'll see none of em are cheap.

Bonia shoes are horrible but always overpriced. By horrible I mean clunky, corrected grain, rubber soles.

I can't find any Bonia shoes in my country, but quite a few Shirts n semi-formal/formal pants. I like their polo shirts n short sleeves, very nice . Also their messenger bag for men is really nice. I do like the Tesoro as well, but i think it's overpriced ><

Probably accepted as the top 5 Malaysian Brands as far as leather goods are concern....quite reliable.

Perhaps Bonia should have a sale. Then we can rush through its main entrance...haha

Joint venture Malaysia and Singapore. But i heard singapore is main investor. Dunno la, long time never follow already.

Top 5 leather goods brand? can u name the other 4? lolx

I went to bonia at midvalley a few weeks ago and saw a new range of full leather bags for men. The design looks like chanel bag, quite nice. But quality is the most important thing on earth for me. Any ppl who own a bonia bag can share ur exp?

i had a bonia wallet. quality was good. some of the designs now r quite good too. quality i would say its up to par with some 'labels'. worth getting if the design is right for me. a fren told me that its actually pretty hot in hk.

loves their men shoes but never got any cause i've too many shoes.

I like their messenger bag. Saw em online the other day, planning to buy it when i reach MY

corrected grain (with that price, you can't expect much)
rubber soles = they have synthetic leather sole sometimes

overall = getting a great discounted italian shoes would be wiser, at least it's lighter
but hey, we're in bolehland...show some support by having 1 of their product not that bad after all...boost up the GDP
show some support

i personally did not purchase any bonia products
but i do have 1 wallet which were gifted by colleague from my ex-company...
using it to slot in most of my member cards as secondary wallet...served me well over the years, no compaint

Do you guys have any idea how much is the cost for Bonia men shoe. Code : 08508-0537-08 Calf leather, Buisness.

cheap shoe, x-pensive tags.
like all local shoes wear few mths. or touch water become "crocodile" (mouth open)

I have a Bonia leather wallet and it serves me pretty well over the years. Same goes to my leather shoes. Been more than a year and it's still like brand new. The reason I bought these was is because of the design. Price tags for those are quite reasonable.

Regards, Joey

May I know where is it made ?

waaaa...
u just know bonia is malaysian prodt...

buy the shoe once for my first year in diploma yearssss ago....huhuh

Bonia seems to be started by Singapore company. U can see their concept is marketing their products just like White Coffee. Durban is a local brand, but they do not do as much marketing. But u can see the difference in branding their stuff. Bonia even if the stuff seems like Seed or G2000, but they have stand alone stores since many years ago. Many brands does not have. Other seem to thrive having their brands peddled by department stores. I recall Bonia's first flagship store was in Subang Parade since early 90s'. It still exists till today.

Guys, please reply me for this....

Are we supposed to decode that? Go email Bonia instead.

How was it, how long does it lasts?

my brother bought the shoes for office work...he can safely say that the pair has done him good for years of his daily 8 to 6 work routine...

they do have sales if im right...as im tight with the bbudget, i gotta wait for them to go on sale

I'm sorry. I don't really know. It could be made in Malaysia.

Bonia is a local malaysian company but looking at their history page in the website, it seems to be started in singapore. But as far as i remember, there are a few brothers running the business during the late 80's and early 90's and their factory is in Taman Midah. But i am not sure what they have evolve to be now.

A better looking brand. The standalone boutiques have an upmarket feel about them. Most of their stuff nowdays are very modern. Even the cuts are modern. They got a lot of fancy fabric prints and details on their shirts. I doubt anyone would wear embroidered cuffs.

actually i find bonia products worth it..they have good quality..and price are reasonable..previously during the sales i went to check out the man's bag..was around RM500+ after discount is around RM300+ i think..but i end up not buying it cause i wanted another Bonia design which they do not have it in that store

THIS.

+1.

Added on January 23, 2012, 7:10 pmBonia products are very much overpriced and doesn't neccessarily deliver the promised quality. They do employ brilliant branding and merchandise in my opinion. Their shoes cost around RM 400 usually and sometimes they have like warehouse sale at their HQ at Taman Midah and they'd even slash the prices of the shoes to as low as below RM 100 - I even bought 3 pairs (including a pair of Valentino Rudy) of their working shoes during one of their latest warehouse sale, and my friends who followed along got themselves a few pairs as well, but the next day when we met at work, everyone complained how uncomfortable their shoes are...and my pair of Bonia is starting to show signs of retirement now, and that's fast.

Bought a pair of their black shoes at 50% discount years ago. Quality are really so so and their sole only lasted one year before I throw them away.

Their shirt and pants are not bad though.

They always have it, either in Sogo or their HQ in Tmn Midah.

I like Bonia's design although it is made in Malaysia, aka Malaysia brand.
Design is good although it is at mid high range price tag.
I have bought their apparel for years but only until half year ago I bought a pair of their shoe.
it changed my mine that I will never buy any BONIA products. For half years, i wear the shoes once in two weeks by average. Then the last two months, I wore 3 times a week. Then the sole of the shoe torn without excessive used.
I complaint to the customer service and claim it is not their manufacturing mistake. The quality is good when it is in the production. It is normal the shoes wear and tore and they do not provide any warranty. I am really disappointed with their attitude and the quality.
For RM399 (discount 50% when sale one time) for a pair of shoe that last for 6 month, it is overprice and but worth to buy from them anymore.
There are many overseas brand in the same price range that is better in terms of quality.
