My Beautiful Ems

[stevewool]

We are off to Rome its one of the things on Ems wish list,
The history, the Colosseum, throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain, the Forum and of course the Vatican itself, to see the Pope on the Sunday morning is a dream for many,
But whats on Ems mind, the Louis Vuitton shop, can we go there my Steve, well i did not have to say it in Italian or English i think the look gave it away ,
I know we men are strong and have our own way, but i am sure i will be walking down the road in maybe even walking into that shop over the next few days anything for a happy life

Maritess' middle name is 'Can I Have' but I must admit it's never shoes or handbags!

Steer well clear mate

1 bag will cost more than the price of the holiday, mate of mine bought his Mrs one for her birthday and I don't think he got any change out of £1500

What an absolute waste of money, no brain at all!

Yep, ... a lot more money than sense.

When in Rome buy Gucci

My sis bought an LV bag in Singapore last month. It cost her 1960SGD...that's 950GBP and our flight tickets already!!! Oh well, that's her money.

He must have MUG or SUCKER tattooed on his forehead

My theory is that if she pays with her money then that is her choice. LV and the major brands of handbag are the same to women as expensive watches which men covet. Easy to spend thousands on a mid-market expensive watch such as a Tag Heuer, never mind something really exclusive. Makes posh handbags look cheap!

(I never wear a watch btw).

[stevewool]

Wow, steady on boys and girls, Ems is worth her weight in gold and i bet all our partners are worth that amount too, if you earn it and save it well its down to each of us to have what we would like, take my camera, i love it and maybe adding everything up its worth a few thousand pounds.

Anyway, this fool bought her the bag for Xmas

*NOT me! ... easier still to "watch" my wallet!

Good for you Steve I bought Shey a Michael Kors bag for her birthday as that's what she wanted.
She doesn't question my watches and I don't question her bags

I used to get paid for buying Louis Vuitton bags in Hong Kong, once upon a time. 15% commission from everything I spent, out of the money (thousands) given to me. 6 shops there.

Funny old world.

[stevewool]

Thanks for the rep Simon, we try to do the best for our partners, because we know they do the best for us all the time

[Arthur Little]

... they do the best for us all the time

Yep, they do, indeed, Steve ... !

For the average guy spending that much on just a handbag for your loved one is unnecessary in my opinion. Plenty of other ways to show one's love & appreciation without breaking the bank.

A Tesco carrier bag is even cheaper. It's free.

That's one option.

...and you can use them for bin-liners.

[grahamw48]

I've lost track of the number of real £1000-£1500 LV bags I've bought from their shops in Hong Kong...not to mention the £200 key fobs and £300 wallets. Don't like the designs, but you can't beat that nice smell of real leather.

[raynaputi]

Same here! Although I'd take any shoes that I like even if it cost £5! You can't say no to a bargain! I've ran out of shoe racks to be honest!

[Rosie1958]

Designer handbags are a huge passion of mine too and I have loads ........ Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Gianni Versace, Michael Kors to name but a few. Most with matching purses and I also have several LV key fobs. My very first LV bag was purchased in Louis Vuitton, Kowloon in 2003 and was around £650, the strap was an additional £80 and I've also bought the rest myself apart from one LV bag which my brother purchased in Singapore for my 50th birthday. More money than sense? I don't think so! I work really hard, don't smoke or drink and like to treat myself on the very odd occasion. I've got a great handbag collection which I can pass on, or sell if I ever feel the need and I use them regularly

Steve, I'm sending you a rep for indulging your lovely wife in her passion and what makes her happy! As you said, she deserves it and every time she uses that bag, she'll think of you and your generosity ......... well done!!

[grahamw48]

LV Kowloon.

That would be at the Peninsula Hotel ?

I've shopped in that one a few times. Only lived about three hundred yards from it at one time too.

Not so sure any more since they introduced this 5p charge for each of their pitifully thin carrier bags. Soon mounts up when you're buying a lot of groceries at a time.

Mind you, all stores charge for theirs ... seeing as it's a mandatory requirement nowadays. Fine, though, if it discourages people using them - thereby leaving less litter blowing around in the wind following their [often] careless disposal. Besides ... ... we seldom need them as we tend to use a shopping trolley for bulky purchases.

Kipling bags are leather, smell just as nice!
