How many wives/girlfriends have the same issue with Louis Vuitton?

Sort of interesting even with purses. After finally getting my BLNR earlier this year my wife decides on buying a Pochette Metis purse from Louis Vuitton. We happened to be in Italy at the time on vacation and she was quick to find out that this purse like others is about as hard to find as a white Daytona.

Never did I think these high-end purses were in the same situation as Rolexes. And just like my Rolex, she's been on various ad lists and we've visited more Louis Vuitton stores around the world then I can count.

Recently she hit the lottery when she happened to look at the Louis Vuitton web site the minute after they put one up available. Same luck as finding a highly sought after Rolex I guess.

At least now I can think about another buying another watch without any grief.

Mmmmmmm my wife likes washing and ironing should I get her a bgger iron or a better ironing board

It's ironic that my wife's love of washing and ironing my clothes has as much to do with watches as your thread

Let's play nice. Yes this should have been in Open Discussions but a Mod can move it if that big of a deal.

Fortunately my wife isn't into things that are hard to find and buy.

My wife has never been a fan of LV — but...wait until you get into the world of Chanel and Hermes —- you think a Daytona is hard to get....

My wife could care less about watches — she has some (and wears mine as well) but loves her bags and sunglasses.

LV is like Omega. Aim higher for real “difficulty.”

19 years ago I was engaged to a Japanese girl. She had at that time about 6 LV bags. I was wearing Casio Oceanos at that time. She upped my game and introduced me to good quality and brought to my attention that a Rolex could be a good upgrade. I and very thankful to Miss Ogawa.

Brother you are not alone. My wife has over 40 lv bags. Every freaking time the new runway bags comes out she has to get one. She has sales associates call her from 5 stores. She thinks it’s cool that they call her a VIC which that is what lv calls you not Vip. We are at mall righ now I got out of the store without spending over 3,000.00and she actually got a bag. She said I have got so many watches lately. She wins not worth the fight
