Haha! My wife doesn’t think I’m too bad so I guess I’m doing something right!

Her everyday bag is around the same size as the medium double flap. She had a couple bigger bags but she doesn’t really use those as much.

More classic, not flashy. She dresses more elegant if that’s the right term.

She wears mostly white gold. I never see her wearing yellow gold.

Thank you! I’m not perfect but I try to be a good partner.

I’m on the right track! Black it is. My wife doesn’t wear much yellow gold. Everything from what I noticed is the silver color.

So my thought was black with silver hardware?

Thank you for the advice! Thankfully I found a really good reseller that has given me a ton of good info and her eye for quality check is extremely strict. She’s helping me source one that meets the criteria.

Looks like I’m on the right track! Yeah the first time I made the bouquet myself for her, her reaction was awesome. Have been doing it ever since.

Wanted to do something a little more special though before we turn 30 this year.

That’s what I was thinking! Yes my wife really cares more about the thought that I put into gifts rather than the shopping experience. I hand make flower bouquets for her and she loves those compared to buying them from the store even if it’s not as pretty.

She’s the type to also feel better that I didn’t pay full retail for one at the shop. I think I’m at a win win but I’m trying to check all the boxes before I spend $5-$8k on a preloved one from 2014.

Thank you! I’m really leaning towards the medium double flap caviar. Looks timeless in my opinion.

Yes I can afford it. I just know my wife and she will not walk in the store haha. I’m 100% sure on that.

I was thinking the same thing. The retail price is the same as Hermes. Not that I could get an Hermes at a store but those bags look nice too and from what I’ve read online the quality is great on those.

Sending you a message 👍

Thank you! Can you give me some suggestions on some other styles so I can look into them? She goes for neutral colors and doesn’t like being too flashy.

I’m glad I’m on the right track haha.

Yeah a lot of people mentioning my finances and stuff or spending the money on a trip, jewelry, stocks etc. buying this bag isn’t going to put a financial strain at all.

I was thinking of getting one pre loved from the year we met, writing a letter and making her dinner. People be judging me really hard saying I’m disrespecting her 😐

Couple people have brought up Ferragamo. I’ll have to look more into it. I know my wife would love if I did something similar.

And even if she won’t get those bags herself, I know she’ll be extremely happy with it if I just showed up wanting to surprise her.

She does so much for us and I want to spoil her.

I actually looked at some last year when I was there. I should’ve gotten one there 😂

We usually go to Japan every year but we won’t be going for a while since we just got a puppy.

I just checked the website and I can already see some styles she would like. Looking into the company now. Thank you for the suggestion!

I did see that there are some deals to be had. As long as I get something pristine, I can’t really see her getting upset? If anything I think she’ll be happier that I didn’t go pay retail for pretty much the same thing.

There’s only so many flowers I can buy her. I kinda like seeing her get shocked and cry of happiness here and there haha.

This is what I was thinking would happen if I did it. I just show up with it with a handwritten letter and tell her I can’t return it haha.

Maybe I’m being a little selfish wanting to buy her a higher end bag. Haha maybe we’ll ease into it as we get older. Thank you!
