My future in-laws have graciously given me an Eva clutch for my birthday. To be honest, I'm really bummed out. There's two negatives to this gift: one, it's in mono and I already have a mono pochette with optional chain and two, the leather strap is ridiculously long on me and will never be used.
I'm deciding between two options:
1. Show my fMIL and fFIL that I appreciate their gift and exchange it only for color. I don't have anything Azur because I'm afraid of denim rub off (work for a denim company, so I wear dark denim often) and with the chain the Eva sits high enough that this will be a non- issue. The Eva is no where roomy enough to fit my daily essentials. It fits exactly as much as a pochette does for me, so it will basically be $550 spent on a bag that I may use once a month or so.
2. Just take the store credit and eventually use the credit towards something else. This really bums me out, because I really don't like the idea of having to spend more out of pocket. I'm recently engaged and we have a ton of expenses coming up between the wedding, travelling to plan this wedding, the holidays, moving and buying more furniture/decor for a bigger place. I don't really like the idea of shelling out a few hundred bucks to make something of the store credit.
What would you do?
