let's talk handbags...lol Louis Vuttion to be specific

That picture explains this thread to the T.
My wife has them all.Alright well Xmas season is upon us and I'm sure some of you guys and gals have experience with Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Prada, etc. I realize its just an over priced bag...and that person isn't asking me for it by any means but I want to get something really nice. To be fair I bought my Sig Sauer Ultra a few mths back and it was about a grand...so yeah.
Anyways, are these high name brands worth it? Do they hold value (stupid question), can they be repaired in the future? Was it worth the price? A buddy was like," Well I'm sure if it was your Cobra you'd drop the money for it" lol. :beer:
There are better ways to waste my money but please keep it on topic...any info is appreciated...stomach goes uneasy looking at a $1400 tag...
Thanks,

They make the best fake bags only discernible only the best eyes when I was in Oman. Literally down to the stitch count and number of leather folds or the corner cuts on the lettering. High quality, all the snobby girls go, "Ohhhhh, Ahhhhh!"
My wife always laughs. I don't because like a good fake Rolex those things were 2-3 hundred.
Anyway, Happiness is not cheap.
Find a big ass box and put a damaged blower in it. Place the purse in an accessories bag next to the blower and just before she breaks down and cries you announce, "TAAAHHHDAAAAH! Merry Christmas you materialistic, soul sucking, wallet squeezing, debbie downer!! I love you!"
As with shoes, clothes, and most jewelry I let my wife get her own purses. It is better to give her the credit card and set a limit. Then wait for the inevitable phone that she found what she wanted but it is 20% over the limit. Just understand that before she goes out and you will both end up happy! You will get mad "over the limit" sex later.

For the same reason woman can't wrap their head around car shit.
My wife buys from Coach outlets when they have a sale, and that's about it. She works and makes very good money. If she wanted a $1500 LV bag I would have no problem with it, but she would never spend that much on a bag. She would rather put the money into an IRA or some other investment, god I love that woman...:beer:
That makes zero sense. An accurate comparison would be saying a wife having to buy her husband car parts in order for him treat her well has a crap husband. A little intellect goes a long way.

You only live once... I see a $1100 purse to be pretty cheap in the long run if my life. I've purchased 5-6 Coach, Michael Kors, Dooney and Burke etc since we have been together /married that have to amount to $2000 or so and it is something she has wanted for a long time..
Lobra.. I just bought me wife a LV Speedy 35 IIrc(for bday) and it was just under $2000 with a wallet (she is getting that for Christmas but doesn't know it).

I was looking for papillion because theyre smaller but they didnt have any there. I saw the speedys as well but she said she didnt like em. I just got done with it, guy gave me a discount on it from price he told me yest. He rang it up and it was higher yest so I'm not complaining lol. Merry Xmas...no where the hell are my Gamma Jordan 11s woman! Lol
My wife has fairly simple tastes, but she does love the higher end handbags. I spring for the nice ones every once in awhile. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around spending that much for something you're just throwing stuff in, but it doesn't matter if I understand it lol. After the money I dump into my toys and hobbies (which she equally doesn't understand but never questions), it's the least I can do. She deserves it.

Make her give you a link to the specific bag she wants and buy it for her. You don't want to get her the wrong one. Imagine wanting that Sig and getting a Hipoint. Don't think, just buy.
My wife didn't say a word when I spent $13K on two rifles in a three month span, so she gets whatever she wants, whenever she wants.
Never saw an LV I thought looked even sorta decent honestly. I like Kate Spade. Not very common (like Coaches are now), killer deals online and in their outlets, great quality, and I've never had one that didn't get complimented regularly.
i spent 500 on an LV belt once... worst purchase i have ever made
True about gift she wouldn't like, glad I asked last minute. Few buddies were like,"nah DONT ask surprise her" lol glad I did.
Yup I agree on everything, and more money shall go into the Terminator so gotta work it in slow lol
I just heard of Tony Birch (sp?) Buddies wife has one so all the names that are rare I just noticed at Fashion Valley here in San Diego. Yeah I wanted her to have something else beside coach and MK....kinda common and she has a few of them already. Just something different ya know
Yeah I can see that lol
I appreciate this tip, Kate Spade looks really nice. I'll no longer feel like a dickhead paying 2,000 for a bag. Thank you.

I wonder how much it costs to have one of those bags manufactured. $9? Maybe $20 to ship it to a store? Huge ripoffs.
BURBERRY I bought one for the wife about 8 years ago she carriers it everyday and it still looks as good as the day I got it. And last night I picked her up another one and it is under the Christmas tree.
...as far as the MACHO MEN around here why did you even click on a thread titled let's talk handbags...lol Louis Vuttion to be specific, leave it to us "gays":banana:

Me either. It's a bag! Maybe I need to make a bag, call it "blackness03", slap a $1500 price tag on it and sell it to stupid people
I had someone try and buy me one once but it's hard to beat the quality of my $70 hand made to my specifications gun belt.
Pretty much. People that buy into the fashion industry are suckers.
Thats what I was thinking, why click and respond? Lol
Yeah I'm hoping it lasts a while rep said it'll last forever of she takes care of it. They can replace handles and what not in the event she needs to maintain it later. I got her one of the classic purses, I'll see if I can upload from my phone. I like it and I hope she does too.
You sound very young and naïve
Yes I make the make the money but I wouldn't be able to do that if she didn't hold down the every other aspect of life ( house, kids etc etc) . Unless you are superman and take care of the house work, kids, grocery shopping, etc etc and do your job to make the money you are ignorant to the because you just make the money that only you hold your life together and have the right to be the only one to make the choices of how the money is spent.
Your macho "man ego" is one of ignorance and only shows you have yet to grow up. I don't have to ask my wife about everything but it is the respectful thing to do when spending a good sum of money unless it is a surprise to her.
