A love story

You folks know I love enabling hubbies with their H purchases for their wives.

Here’s one story I have been waiting to share. Not so long ago, a lady emailed me on her birkin wish. Her hubby came to know about this, and bless him, hijacked her email to me and wrote me that if I should be able to get my hands on the said birkin, to pass to him, whilst keeping up the pretence that I hadn’t been able to get hold of it, til he passes it to her on their 10th wedding anniversary.

In December.

Altogether now. Awwww!

I’m so happy to present to you, the object of their affections (I can’t resist the word play)

Of course, the hubby couldn’t wait to give this lovely to her, once he got it in his hands. But it’s such a sweet thought, isn’t it.

Lovely lovely lovely.

Kelvin’s back from his trip, I’m sending out notifications, please give me some time, as it’s been crazy for me this month, in almost every area of my life! Phew.

That said, you would have received correspondence from me if your orders have been successful.

Let us revel in this happy moment for now :D

WOWZA. Thank you for your queries!

The webcount has gone off the roof! It’s in the thousands now.

Thank you, thank you so much.

My blackberry is pinging every other minute with texts and emails. I haven’t yet have the chance to read the article on Urban, but am sure that is the reason for this morning’s excitement.

Please give me a day or two to properly reply everyone. I actually relish these conversations. Unfortunately this morning, my mind is also heavy with a different matter – my son’s appeal to his primary school.

Anyhoo, I have had the pleasure of speaking with some of you lovely ladies, very pleasant hearing voices of fellow H- and Chanel lovers!

Let me answer some of the oft-asked questions here.

1. Our next trip is in Jan 2010 to Paris. Orders close on 28 Dec 2009, 6pm.

2. We don’t stock (unless Kelvin spots a pretty Birkin!); we provide the service, so no, there isn’t a page to view bags for sale. We don’t sell you bags, we sell you the service :)

3. We charge boutique price + 7%. Every third bag enjoys the 7% shopping charge waiver. Yes, you will receive all original receipts.

4. Yes, I am really the lady who sometimes take public transport with her Birkin, as I don’t have a car license. If you see me, say hi!

Here’s a picture of my son in his best impersonation of the Underwear Monster (haha totally made up la), to take the edge off a crazy day. And oh yes, Happy Halloween,Monster people!

I could take it either way. Be incensed that someone’s taken my model, pricing and positioning to call their own, right down to certain phrasing. (Not the first time.) Or take this act of copying as a compliment.

I haven’t decided. 

They’ve just started out, and are possibly backed by a bag rental company. 

We’ll never know how safe that’ll be, will we?

Wonky-eyed in September’s issue

Let’s just say my stuff on the page look better than me :)

Go grab a copy of the latest Harper’s Bazaar for a closer look or just to draw moustaches/moles/horns on me!
