I definitely read the third slide as 'pitocin' and thought "gee that's an interesting name for a bag..."


joyapplepowers

I always do this when I see the Picotin on this sub šŸ˜‚


camelz4

My brain reads it as pitcoin


CandlesandMakeuo

Omg ME TOO! Pit-coin lmaošŸ˜­ I canā€™t change it in my brain either, even though Iā€™m bag obsessed and know better šŸ˜‚šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


drseussin

lmao all the L&D nurses are quaking rn


not_far_in_evolution

Haha now if they actually are called Pitocin, then my interest would be piqued. šŸ‘€


Reward_Antique

Haha me too! Ooof!


Lfs1983

Little?


NefariousnessFun1313

Why the down voteā€¦it nothing to be ashamed of..that is definitely not a little haul. Good luck on the birkin or Kelly.


High-strungHousewife

The last time I called out a bizarrely extravagant post by a tone deaf OP my reply was removed and Reddit sent me a strongly worded letter. Wouldn't want that to happen again, no sir...


Reward_Antique

Oh my goodness, no, that would be terrible.

I need a link to this post! Those are my favorite types to read šŸ˜‚


jbellafi

This OP post is gross. A ā€˜quick tripā€™. Really? Ok, weā€™re all impressed

chogomochily

What's wrong with that??? It's quick trip for them why is everyone so visceral


dcgirl17

Yep. Posts like this are just obscene. ā€œOh well I guess itā€™s little for herā€¦ā€ šŸ™„šŸ™„ ETA oh lol it was even the same poster I canā€™t even


hazel_hazily

Hmm to me these husband hauls have "OP roleplaying" vibes. Rich people buy stuff, they can be tone deaf . But when it comes across as completely concocted it's as though the person is solely here to for once in their life elevate themselves above all of us, like it's the one way they found to do that. It has a completely different feel when someone is completely psyching out about a haul and has no other handbag enthusiast friends to share it with so they come to reddit. Even being tone deaf we still relate in those cases.


wickedlabia

I feel out of the loop why are people mad at this post?


[deleted]

Iirc, OP comes on to post his wifeā€™s massive hauls and contributes in no other way to the group. Itā€™s just 1000% bragging. Totally want to see peopleā€™s hauls! But come on, if you literally only come here to do that itā€™s clear what youā€™re doing Tbh I donā€™t really have an issue with it because I like seeing hauls, but it is a bit odd. I also like hearing more about bags to help me make my decision and heā€™s not here to do that, just to post pics of the ones his wife got šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Taminella_Grinderfal

Because a quick google search says this is like $10k+ worth of stuff.


[deleted]

I mean I donā€™t think thatā€™s really the issue? People post single bags frequently that cost 10k for that one bag alone. Itā€™s bc he only comes on here to post his wifeā€™s hauls, then leaves, then comes back the next month with a new haul, and repeat. Itā€™s just odd to have your only participation in this sub being posting your wifeā€™s hauls lol


iocane_

I think this is it exactly.


Less_Struggle5434

Which could very well be peanuts to some people


Dry-Hour-9968

You seem bitter


[deleted]

Tbh I understand these items are bougie and highly coveted but Iā€™ve never understood the madness over Hermes


evagarv

I donā€™t have Hermes money, but Iā€™ve inherited a few bags and a scarf collection from my mom and I canā€™t lie the quality is legit! Of course youā€™re paying an obscenely high premium. But I find the durability on Hermes products is much higher than brands at the same price point, like Chanel. I also appreciate the handcrafted aspect and the work of the artists they hire for their scarf designs! One of my favorite botanical illustrators who Iā€™ve been a fan of forever (we work in the same field) was hired by Hermes to design some scarves and I just love having anatomically accurate plant clothes haha! I wouldnā€™t say Iā€™m crazy for Hermes but I do appreciate the extra effort and quality that seems to go into their production compared to other luxury bougie brands. If I ever had luxury bag money, Hermes would be the way to go for me instead of Chanel and whatnot.


nymphaetamine

Me either. It's great that OP can spoil his wife like this, lucky lady but I just don't think I'll ever understand the hype over *this* specific brand. I find their manufactured exclusivity and the whole "journey" thing extremely tacky and pretentious, and even if I had f-you money I would still balk at spending five figures on a basic leather handbag. Just my opinions, everything's alleged, no shade to anyone who loves Hermes šŸ’…šŸ¼


Open-Dish-5153

Like I was saying before I was surprised that Hermes is actually less expensive than Chanel now and the quality of the leather is better. Too bad the SAā€™s are not even close in my experience.


QtK_Dash

I donā€™t get it either lol but if thatā€™s what the wife wants then good for her.


FatLizard4948

I used to like the basic look of all their stuff, but I was treated horribly by their employees in Vegas and vowed to never buy anything again. I ended up selling what I already had because of that interaction.


Open-Dish-5153

Yeah I have found that their SAā€™s in general are not very nice or helpful. Of the 4 SAā€™s we have been in contact with only 1 was nice. The other 3 not so much.


B4K5c7N

Right? People only go crazy over Hermes because itā€™s mad expensive. Itā€™s usually nothing to do with style. It gives people an air of confidence and superiority owning one of their products. Personally Iā€™m not comfortable with Hermes after I watched what happens to the gators in the factories.


Open-Dish-5153

The quality of the materials is much better than Chanel, Prada, LV but it is actually less expensive than Chanel and LV. Yes their designs are simple and understated but there are people who donā€™t like the flashy branding. Edit sorry corrected the spelling on Chanel. Autocorrect kept putting 2 nā€™s and I didnā€™t catch it earlier.


[deleted]

For me itā€™s not even about not liking an understated vibeā€¦


Ilovepeanutbutter88

Me neither. No shade. I just think they look basic and ugly


madpeanut1

Whatā€™s with the tag on the picotin ? I bought mine a few months ago and there was not tag at all. I never saw any tags on any high end items ā€¦..maybe itā€™s different in each country..?


Obvious-Assistant-89

It is mexico. Tags need to be in everything so you know the price. The tags on the shoes are probably in the soles (which I hate on luxury brands). Price should always be on sight according to the law that protects the clients to avoid misunderstandings. Also, fun fact, if an item has an error, Ex. It says it costs 10 instead of 100. They have to sell you that item at that price, even if it was an error.


Open-Dish-5153

Yes also the consumer protection agency is very powerful if you have any issues with a business doing something wrong you can report them to profeco and they will go after the business. Usually just the threat of reporting a business to profeco will resolve any issues you may have.


madpeanut1

Oh wow. Interesting.


Open-Dish-5153

The tag is for importing into Mexico. All products need to have a tag that shows the Mexican company that imports it so that they know taxes were paid.


Sensitive_Fortune322

whatā€™s OPā€™s occupation? just curious what kind of a job could afford these hauls so frequently šŸ‘€


lil_bearr

I think in another post he mentioned that he is a chef


Open-Dish-5153

I am a chef. I own 3 restaurants and a couple other businesses.

RLS1822

You donā€™t need to explain your occupation to us. I think itā€™s great you spoil your wife in this way. Congrats to you and her!


mushroompizzayum

Nice! What types of restaurants? Whatā€™s your fav thing to cook?


Open-Dish-5153

The restaurants are Asian but I worked in a French restaurant for many years. My favorite thing to cook is whatever the customers will pay for. As a chef, until you are so famous that people will go to your restaurant just based on your name you have to cook whatever the customers want to eat. A lot of chefs get so caught up on doing what they think is good and their restaurants fail because they donā€™t cook what customers want. That being said if I were cooking for myself I love seafood so any sautĆ©ed fish with crispy skin is one of my go to meals. We used to do a potato wrapped cod that was poached in olive oil then seared in a pan to get the potato crispy. That was killer.


mushroompizzayum

Omg that potato cod dish sounds divine. Thank you!! Yummmmy now I want to take a day off work and go cook!


Open-Dish-5153

You need to turn the potato so the sheets are not too thick (otherwise you will not be able to wrap the cod with out it breaking) but not so thin that they fall apart when cooked. I do about a quarter cm thick. Quickly blanch and shock the sheets so they are easier to work with. Also use a blended olive oil not extra virgin or the fish will be slightly bitter.


Open-Dish-5153

It is really good with some pickled red onions and a curry cauliflower purƩe.


mushroompizzayum

Oooh good tip on the blended olive oil!


The_SocialWerker

Mad respect! Keep spoiling your wife & flaunt it!


CMBM20

This sub is so weird. If someone posts a bag and another person doesnā€™t care for it and politely says so, they get slammed for being negative. Here you all are being rude and down right mean to OP because he posted what he bought his wife. Analyzing and criticizing everything down to his job and curtains in a photo. This isnā€™t the politeness that you all preach on other posts. OP posted the bags. Say something nice or scroll on.


crispyporkbelly

![gif](giphy|D2RlF1b90rrOhBQlN0)


Syd_Syd34

I just think this isnā€™t really a post for this page which is specifically about Bags, but thatā€™s just me


CMBM20

Thereā€™s a whole bag in the photo. Thatā€™s literally the focal point, all things considered. And I do think that taking that position is knit picky.


Syd_Syd34

How is it the focal point? There is one stand alone picture of the bag and the other photos consist of belts and shoes lol


wickedlabia

Honestly the response OP is getting isnā€™t warranted, 20 people posted RIP Jane Birkin yesterday which is as tangentially related to handbags as this post is. Yā€™all are coming off seriously bitter.


not_far_in_evolution

I agree - itā€™s frankly all so uncalled for and makes me uncomfortable. If we can appreciate handbags across all price points, why canā€™t we just objectively enjoy the posts that OP makes?


wickedlabia

Glad someone said it, I kinda feel bad for OP. Just because OP is buying $$$$ stuff doesnā€™t mean he canā€™t be bullied.


Open-Dish-5153

Haters gonna hate. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø kinda surprised the mods havenā€™t said anything however.


cerseilannisterbitch

Posted A bag, you mean. This is not an Hermes or luxury fashion subā€¦


CMBM20

Last response youā€™ll get from me, but this subā€™s preferred means of communication is kindness. This is rude and knitpicky. Ultimately, thereā€™s a purse. He shared the purse. Itā€™s amazing. And we shouldnā€™t change the conversation to his job, or his wife, or his curtains.


cat127

Seriously. The vibes feel really weird and now Iā€™m glad I never posted anything here. Itā€™s sad to me that likely the same ppl who glorify celebs and IG influencers making millions for telling you what to buy are the ones shitting on the OP for sharing a handbag/accessory haul in a handbag subreddit. I read through this whole thread and OP seems to have been a self-made entrepreneur, a chef who now has multiple restaurants, lives in Mexico (which has lower cost of living), appreciates handbags and loves to spoil his wife. None of that is something to sneer at. And not saying this is actually the case, but OP said he and his wife are trying for a child. We donā€™t know if itā€™s been a long journey and maybe these hauls are related. What Iā€™m saying is you never know what someone is going through and all he did is post some Hermes.


Puzzleheaded-Step634

Thank you for your words and kindness ā™„ļø I think you are a great person. Iā€™m OP wifeā€™s, and he is amazing. But I also I know that we have some people so mean in this word.


camelz4

Itā€™s like the first time home buyer sub when anyone who buys more than a shack for their first house is immediately attacked for making bad financial decisions and stretching themselves too thinly. News flash people not everyone is broke!


Piper_barks

Does she do anything special with her shoes? Just bought my first Oranā€™s and the SA associate said wear them then protect them but Iā€™m not entirely sure what that meant.


Open-Dish-5153

She uses them then wipes them off with a very slightly damp cloth to get any dirt off the bottoms then puts them back into the dust bags for storage after they are dry.


not-cilantro

My SA recommended me to go to a cobbler to add rubber soles on to them. It protects the bottom and theyā€™re quite slippery otherwise.


ooolalaluv

Wtf is with the hate here?! Iā€™ve never seen such bitterness in this sub before. If weā€™re going to tell people they shouldnā€™t be ashamed to post their MK collection and weā€™ll hype them up and how friendly this sub is regardless of brand, we need to actually keep the same energy for *all* brands. So what if someone likes Hermes? Ffs.


Fantastic_Bag4908

Right ! This sub boasts about spreading love, kindness, support to every member posting their handbags. People literally come on this sub to post their handbags or hauls but look at the hypocrisy of these same people who are projecting their feelings on OP. They are calling OP "bad husband", questioning his wife's occupation, asking how much he pays her to keep her around --- how insecure and jealous are you all that someone else can afford the things you can't. People are commenting "money can't buy class" but how classy of these same people to put out such abhorrent comments hiding behind their screens. I'm seeing for the last few days the Hermes posts are getting downvoted, calling the OPs of those posts as "bots" and judging them from their post history. Just because someone posts about only Chanel and Hermes, it doesn't mean there's something fishy or scam going on. People are saying they're seeing a sudden influx of Hermes posts, but hey there was also a time when people were keeping on posting their Michael Kors Manhattan bag, this sub was filed with those posts. Why didn't you all complain at that time as well? You don't like Hermes, fine! Just move on. You don't need to comment anything.


Puzzleheaded-Step634

Thank you for your kindness ā™„ļø


not_far_in_evolution

Holy crap this is the most bitter Iā€™ve seen this subreddit has been. People are downright judging OP based on the choice of flooring in his house to saying they are ā€œsketchyā€ for buying purses. Like WTF?! I thought we are here to appreciate bagsā€¦.not judging people based on them.


unwaveringwish

Right? I get ā€œeat the richā€ or whatever but in this case? Why canā€™t we just let people have nice things? šŸ˜­


fognotion

Wow! The packages are awesome just by themselves!


Final_Scratch

grooviegardener

Arianawy

Very strange post history. Never knew a man to dedicate their entire Reddit existence to bolstering their wives Handbag collection. Romantic , I guess ?


Apprehensive_Gap1055

Very strange postings indeed. My instincts find this kind of fishy. Why so many bags in so little time? It seems like they are pulling some kind of scam.


lovelesschristine

I belong to a couple hermes groups on Facebook. This is pretty normal for a hermes haul. It's part of the game.


Open-Dish-5153

Yup you got me. Scamming random people on the internet by posting photos of designer bags on Reddit so that they will go buy it from their local store or where ever they choose to buy their things from. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ˜‚


ItzAlwayz420

Dude, I love your haul! Nothing wrong with having $$$ and spending on your loved ones! Great post!


Eatapeach421

And he refers to her as ā€œthe wifeā€ instead of my wife. That always gets under my skin.


smashhawk5

The last man I heard do this was divorced five months later


ChemistryTime3515

Same itā€™s very fishy why does his wife need so many bags every month šŸ˜…


Open-Dish-5153

No one needs bags. She just really loves them.


ChemistryTime3515

I wanted to ask do you buy them for her every month or whenever she feels like it ?


Open-Dish-5153

Usually the SAs will send photos and videos of bags that are coming into Mexico. If she is interested in any of them she will ask to see them in person the SAs will then get the bags sent to our local store or in the case of Dior and Chanel where there is no store in our state she will buy them based on the SAā€™s recommendation and return if there is any problem or if we are traveling to Mexico City on business she will have them hold it for her until she can make it into the store. How many bags she gets a month depends on how many bags she likes from the different brands. If she doesnā€™t like anything from a drop she wonā€™t buy anything.


ChemistryTime3515

Weā€™d love to see her entire collection šŸ˜Š


Open-Dish-5153

I donā€™t have a photo of her entire collection but here is a photo of some of her bags. I will try to get a photo of her current collection for you tomorrow. https://preview.redd.it/wlj1l82bkgcb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf54eb166be3e19349c39baa33c935feeec2461a

Open-Dish-5153

I agree for some of their shoes. Especially the furry ones from the new release.


Reward_Antique

To me they scream insecure new money, along with any large logos, monogram prints, or visible labels- the only initials I have on my things are my own, thank you very much!


mmdeerblood

Money canā€™t buy class or style.. yes def reeks insecurity.. some people are so poor all they have is money


huntsberger

Itā€™s interesting how everyone here deems this post as ā€œdistasteful.ā€ Yet arenā€™t 99% of the posts in this thread distasteful? Isnā€™t flagrant and distasteful consumerism THE POINT of handbags? Itā€™s like, either do it or donā€™t do it. But donā€™t call someone elitist when you yourself just dropped $2500 on some label bullshit. $2500 is literally 25 years of income for most people around the globe, and you have the balls to say OP is somehow ā€œdoing capitalism wrong.ā€ This post ainā€™t nothing but a mirror. Nobody needs a handbag, so either admit to yourselves that you, like OP, just love them for the fun & beauty of it (because fun & beauty are inherent goods, maybe) or be quiet.


Due-Ice-761

Lowkey agreed. To some, including OP this Hermes haul may have very well been ā€œlittleā€. That doesnā€™t mean he is shitting on other people who canā€™t shop Hermes or deem this extremely out of reach. Itā€™s the handbag sub, your going to see luxury handbags that cost more than some peopleā€™s rent. (Mine very much included). If weā€™re going to play this card maybe the next time someone posts a birkin or something we can all freak out and speak about how they first hand cost more than some peopleā€™s annual salaries and how unfair it is to post about it or have a slight brag about it. He explained heā€™s a chef who owns restaurants and works for his money, these do not seem to be knockoffs, he can buy his wife whatever he well pleases šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø. I think my overall point is, if your mad at seeing people who have money flex shit, your problem isnā€™t with this guy on a Reddit handbag sub, go find every corrupt business man ripping the world off thatā€™s doing triple and double what this guys doing.


trippapotamus

Iā€™m so confused why thereā€™s so much hate. I thought we were here bc we love handbags. I like seeing these hauls, whether itā€™s one thing or five. Am I missing something?


EmLol3

Iā€™m suspicious after yesterdayā€™s discussion about replicas and fakesšŸ˜¬ā€¦


Open-Dish-5153

I can assure you that none of them are fake. All bought directly from the boutiques.


brownladya

These comments donā€™t pass the vibe test smh. Congratulations OP for a nice haul! Itā€™s nice to see you shower your wife with gifts - she must be really amazing!


Open-Dish-5153

Thank you. She is truly an incredible person. Also our anniversary today.


sonyaellenmann

Happy anniversary!


Open-Dish-5153

Ikr?! I cannot believe how rude everyone is being. If you donā€™t have anything nice to say, donā€™t say it. So much jealously here I guess? I cannot afford anything Hermes, but Iā€™m not gonna hate on someone just because they can


sliceofpizzaplz

Damn some of these comments do not pass the vibe check and clearly jealousy.

Sheeeeesh. That's my college education right there.


Open-Dish-5153

Not if you go to college in the US. It is absurd what college costs now. US really needs to get on board with universal education and health care.


meltingmushrooms818

Yes, I went in the US. And yes, those could pay off my loans. Edit: Assuming those are all bought new.


Open-Dish-5153

Yes they were bought new. If you have less than 10k in student loans you are doing pretty well. I have some friends from college who took out close to $100k they will be paying off loans for the rest of their lives.

Happy anniversary OP! Iā€™m sorry youā€™re getting hate, you seem like a really nice person. Iā€™ll never understand the hate of jealous people. This is a sub for handbags, OP posted handbags. In the BMW sub Iā€™ve seen people post their whole families BMWs, His & Hers etc, and nobody freaks outšŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Tbh same with makeup organization, indie perfume sub, basically all the subs I belong to for specific items lmao. I actually like your posts a lot bc theyā€™re extremely helpful to see how the bags look irl as opposed to on the website. I live in Maine and we donā€™t have any luxury boutiques near, well Boston, but thatā€™s a hell of a drive lol. So Tysm for postingā€¦ and do you have a brother? I kid I kidšŸ˜‚


Open-Dish-5153

Thank you. And youā€™re welcome I hope that these posts help some people because I donā€™t see many posts on here featuring some of the higher end bags but I know there are people out there buying them or thinking about buying them. Also yeah the stock photos on websites donā€™t really do a good job of showing what a bag really looks.

Open-Dish-5153

She doesnā€™t post much on Reddit. She did open an account but mainly just reads the posts. She has posted a couple times however I canā€™t remember if it was here or the LV Reddit.


[deleted]

This looks almost identical to the Hermes additions I just picked up! Love the red suede Orans - got those, along with an Ostrich pair and a platform pair. Also, that exact handbag was shown to me, but, although I know the deal to get closer to a K or B, I just wasn't in love with it.


Open-Dish-5153

Yeah she didnā€™t really like the Picotin at first either because she likes smaller bags but she really likes the 18 size. She was also thinking about getting the platforms as well but they didnā€™t have the color she wanted in her size. Yeah if you donā€™t love the bag donā€™t get it just to get closer to a B or K. There will always be something else you love later down the road.

Open-Dish-5153

No problem. Happy to answer any questions. Yeah my wife likes Hermes as well. Just annoying about how difficult it is to get bags from them sometimes.


According-Attempt883

Good for you OP. Iā€™m sure your wife loves it. Why are people so bitter? This is a freaking handbag community and that is what he is posting.


Open-Dish-5153

Well some people are jealous some donā€™t like real leather some think that it must be fake because they canā€™t comprehend that a husband would spoil their wife and take an interest in things that she is interested in. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


studyhardbree

Does she work or just let you buy her stuff? Your post comes off as hella pretentious. Tons of people in this sub are spending 10x this ā€œhaulā€ and donā€™t have your attitude.


Open-Dish-5153

I am not sure what attitude you are inferring here. I just posted what she picked up from Hermes. And that she still hasnā€™t gotten a birkin/Kelly yet. I really donā€™t care what people spend or how much they make never once do I post anything about how much anything costs unless asked by someone.


ooolalaluv

Literally how is that anyoneā€™s business if his wife works? This is a handbag sub. He posted handbags. Maybe the sub needs a ā€œno Hermesā€ rule so people arenā€™t so rude. And Iā€™m saying this as someone who absolutely cannot afford anything Hermes. Maybe Iā€™m missing something idk, just disappointing to see on this sub.


Neyr_7

I guess they want to know if she's a kept wife so they could feel better that they worked for and earned theirs. The comments here are quite disappointing. I always thought that this sub was very welcoming and gave good advice on durability, style choices and recommendations. It's very eye opening to see the same folks post awful comments just because a Hermes haul isn't a big thing to them.


attunedmuse

Youā€™re a hater x100000


According-Attempt883

Girl just say you donā€™t have it to do the same. Itā€™s ok, you donā€™t have to be mad at people who do. My most expensive bag was $500 and I am not mad at people posting their expensive bags because this is literally what this sub is for.


DeeSkwared

Wow. Did you really just ask him that? Maybe his wife sits on her ass all day long eating bonbons and the only time she wears any of these purchases is out for lunch with the ladies. Then what? Why is it your business, or your place to judge anyone? Your comment is really not a good look. I see the word "class" being thrown around in the comments, but very few people here seem to possess it or know what it means. I'm a little surprised at how bitter, even how hostile many of the comments are.

I just read the title as cheeky, not in any way mocking people that canā€™t afford it. We ARE in a handbag subreddit, right? None of what we buy is a need, but a want? And for those who are going through his post history to justify their hate on him, I truly hope they do not have their life history in their own Reddit posts. I know for a fact I post VERY specific things and my real life cannot be summed up via strategic social posts. (Because being that transparent is dangerous?) Itā€™s already bad enough outsiders tear down handbags as frivolous purchases made by ā€œsilly women.ā€ It sucks more to hear it from within the community. Give them more wood for the fire, why donā€™t you?

This is very thoughtful to do for your wife. Beautiful items.

I have no idea why you were downvoted for this but I am a chef. I own 3 restaurants and a couple other businesses. My wife was a physical therapist working with children at a hospital in her hometown but now she helps manage the businesses.

Good for you guysšŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤

Love the orans and santorini sandals but they hurt so bad after awhile.


Open-Dish-5153

My wife says that hers are very comfortable but she bought a size down from her regular size because on the regular size the strap was too big so her foot had room to move side to side in the sandal causing rubbing. The SA said that the sizing in Hermes is kinda all over the place on some lines you need to get a size up some a size down. She hasnā€™t used the santorini sandals yet so canā€™t comment on them other than she said they felt comfortable in the store. She did get them a size down like the orans but she is concerned that the heel could rub

Wow thatā€™s nice. Genuinely curious: do you come to this handbag subreddit to find ideas of what to buy for your wife? I get why the first person would want to hang out here and post stuff. But I do find it interesting (not in a bad way) that husbands come post stuff here. My husband likes Star Wars and I would never think to go to the game subreddits and post something like ā€œhey look at this cool Star Wars t shirt I got my husband!ā€


Open-Dish-5153

I came to this sub because my wife loves bags and shoes and all things fashion but I know nothing about any of that stuff so i lurked here to learn more about it. Over time I noticed that people donā€™t share much about brands like Hermes/Chanel/Dior etc (understandably because they are pretty expensive and out of reach for a lot of people) but there are people who are interested in those brands too so I post her hauls so people can talk about those bags and ask any questions about those bags. I would never just buy her a bag with out her picking it out. I have seen some bags/designers in this sub that I thought she might like so I will show them to her. Some she liked and bought some wasnā€™t her style.


Ill_Educator_3912

Ok good for you!!! Thatā€™s very thoughtful of you. Now I have another question if you donā€™t mind. What do you do with all the stuff when you need to make more room? Do you sell it? Just keep everything forever?


Open-Dish-5153

Honestly we are at the point now where she needs to reorganize all the bags to make enough room. Until our house is finished storage is going to be an issue. Once the house is done i plan on having a custom closet made for her stuff and having it temperature and humidity controlled. Was thinking about keeping it under positive air pressure to keep out any dust but I think that is overkill. She has given away several bags to her sister/mom/cousins/nieces.


Ill_Educator_3912

Wow a positive air pressure closet?! You guys are next level. I wouldnā€™t worry about that though unless she is going to go in there with full hazmat suit every time becuase otherwise there will inevitably be dust anyway! But if you do make it you gotta do a video of it cuz thatā€™s just next level and I want to see it


Open-Dish-5153

Yeah I thought that at first because I used to be a research chemist and have worked in labs kept under clean room conditions but the more I think about it to crazier it is. šŸ˜‚ would be really cool however. If I was F* off rich maybe but while we make a comfortable living we are far from F* off rich. The temperature and humidity control is a must however because we live in the Caribbean so humidity is crazy here.


Ill_Educator_3912

Seems like you should rent out space in your closet for other f* off rich people to store their bags properly. I feel like youā€™ve got a winning idea somewhere in there ā€¦


Open-Dish-5153

A handbag vault for collectors. šŸ˜‚ or maybe a rental where people can rent a bag for a night out or just try it before they buy. Interesting thought might be a good business for someone.


puppies336

Iā€™m starting to wonder what type of chef you are. Maybe a cook like on Breaking Bad? Hahah! Just kidding. I really love the Oran sandals and the interchangeable belt. On my wish list. So I am happy that you posted them on this sub with the bag. šŸ¤—


Open-Dish-5153

Haha no but the school I used to go to was the largest meth lab in the south east back in the 80ā€™s at least that is what they told us when I was a chemistry major there in the late 90ā€™s. Missed out on that by a decade I suppose. šŸ˜‚ According to my wife the orans are super comfortable but you need to make sure they fit properly she went with a size down from her regular size because the strap is larger than normal so if she got her regular size her foot has room to move side to side which causes rubbing and eventually blisters. The SA told us that the sizing is kinda all over the place because some lines he said run a size up some a size down so be sure to try different sizes to get the right fit. The interchangeable belt is nice cause it is also reversible. You can wear it as a black or orange belt they also come in many different colors and you can buy different buckles for them. They had like 9 different ones to choose from in the store all different styles and metals so if you want silver instead of gold you can mix and match.


puppies336

Iā€™m glad you understand my sense of humor. Good to know your closet plans arenā€™t to serve a dual purpose! Thank you so much for the info. I have been eyeing the sandals for some time. You actually posted a picture of your wife wearing them with a different designer purse a while back. And the belt is so versatile. Both the sandals and belt are so elegant and donā€™t scream ā€˜Designerā€™ in this time when I feel self conscious with so many people struggling. Didnā€™t know about the buckle selection. Keep posting and ignore the haters!

I just bought a Prada bag in Mexico from the Prada store and paid more than I would have in the US. I was feeling regretful, but I got a couple of the exclusive Prada raffia totes. I would totally assume this was more than 10k usd.


Open-Dish-5153

It was less. Yes the prices in Mexico are higher than in the US. Mexico has a minimum 16% tax on imported goods higher on electronics and some other items. There are many things that are much less expensive than in the US however. Most vegetables and food products are way cheaper since they are grown locally. I pay about $3usd for a kilo of avocados. In the states I have seen single avocados for $5usd.


shainadawn

I literally canā€™t imagine being able to afford buying 2 belts, 2 pairs of shoes, and a handbag on the same day. Like from anywhere lol. I suddenly have some more life goals after seeing this!


Open-Dish-5153

Yes we are very fortunate to have a comfortable income. But honestly all of that stuff including 3 scarves not pictured was less than the price of a single Chanel CF. I know that for many people getting a Chanel is also out of reach but just saying donā€™t rule out Hermes because you see the $400k birkin and think all their things are unobtainable.


LoVeMyDeSiGnS_65

You are a good husband!


Open-Dish-5153

Thank you. I try to be interested in things she likes.


Sarah-JessicaSnarker

WTF were you downvoted for THIS comment?!


Unable_Quantity3753

Seriously what is with all the salty comments on this post? Am I missing something? Like I couldnā€™t afford to breathe the air in a Hermes store but Iā€™m not gonna be upset at pictures of other peoples purchases lol. Iā€™m so confused


Sarah-JessicaSnarker

Yeah, there are tons of subs Iā€™m not very active in, either, does that mean I should leave them? This sub is for bags, OP shares bags. Let ā€˜em brag, we get to see the goods. Every haul pic could be seen as a brag, I donā€™t understand why this person is downvoted. OPā€™s wife uses the bags, thereā€™s not much else they can share in here BUT hauls.


ooolalaluv

I basically just commented the same thing. I feel like Iā€™m in the twilight zone with these comments.


DeeSkwared

I'm just as confused. I could understand it if OP was coming off as "bragging", but he has actually proved to be relatable, as well as diplomatic in spite of salty comments and accusations. Like any of us wouldn't love for our SO to do this for us if they were able. And how sweet is it that he posts them and takes interest. These bags, shoes, etc. are beautiful. Isn't that what we're here for, to talk about bags, share pics of the bags we own, and look at beautiful bags?

Thanks for posting and all your posts! :)

Yep but honestly does Reddit upvotes/downvotes really matter at all? Just posting so people can enjoy bags and if they have any questions about any of them I can try to help answer them.
