The deal is they "lease" these bags to you, and if you really like it you can buy it at a discount. So I guess it is kind of like leasing a car.

I personally have never bought anything from them.

Hmm - maybe they have good deals on bags? I can probably pop on into Seattle and take a look first hand I guess tonight.

The add implies they have deals on bags, but who knows what that means.

I would call first just to make sure they have an actual store location.

Lucky me, my eminently sensible wife is not in the least bit interested in all that 'designer crap' as shen refers to it (and she herself actually designs stuff for a living), in fact she used to refer to Luis Vuitton bags as 'Luncheon Voucher Bags' - guess you have to be in the UK to fully 'get' the reference there - on account of the repeated logo on them (which I think I'm right in saying has now changed).

Overpriced crap if you want my opinion, especially since all of that 'designer' stuff, including clothes, bags and accessories is generally made under contract in the same factories as every other bag, coat or whatever, (admittedly with occasionally slightly better concessions to quality control), but the notion that there is a special bag factory somewhere that only ever makes Luis Vuitton bags is as preposterous as it is untrue.

I'm with you on diamonds though, you can't go wrong with those. But I'm also with Oscar Wilde when it comes to fashion: 'A thing so hideous, it has to be changed every six months'.

Still, if someone wants it, then I guess they want it no matter what.

So you are going to buy your wife a $1000 dollar bag? What does she normally buy you for your birthday?

[SUBMAN1]

Woo hoo! I'm off the hook! She found one for $650! It costs less and I'm done - double bonus! Now all I need is a card and a flower or something and I'll be completely off the hook for one more year!

A card is fine with me. I'm a hard person to shop for - If I want something I usually have already bought it, but I do use the birthday thing as an excuse to get myself something. I'll let her wrap it up though.
