Hey gang! Let it go. This post is clearly fake. OP only answers certain questions, willfully ignores others, and refuses to provide necessary details. This is not real.
Umm...the OP put down that he has a 2019 Porsche, which starts at $91,000 in the US. A 30 Birkin, even a brand spanking bought-at-the-flagship one, goes around $12-20,000. I think he'd be able to afford it.
OP needs to take previous posters' advice on this one and be grateful for the blessings available to her, and realize that he may or may not know the intricacies of shopping for Hermes. Perhaps have him read up on it on this forum?.
Thank you for understanding. That’s exactly what I wanted to know.I think there’s an unwarranted harshness against OP here. Her real concern isn’t the bag. She said herself it’s about her SO’s actions and feelings towards her (as if he was trying to fool her). Is he trying to manipulate or deceive her by giving her a fake? Or does the fact that he gave her a fake means that he values her less if he did it knowingly? Those are entirely valid concerns. She just wanted to know the best way to approach him about it.
Her concern is more about the price tag and value she feels her husband has associated with her based on the items he buys her.
That's problematic on so many levels.

If you want a Birkin, buy it yourself. You've got your Columbia degree, make it happen. You shouldn't expect to be gifted one.
I'm curious, what would happen if you buy your husband something he wants but is fake? How would he react?
Thank you for understanding. That’s exactly what I wanted to know.
That’s exactly what doesn’t concern me. I never asked about that purse, nor do I care about the price tag. The reason I got so offended is because I would never buy a fake item for anyone including myself, I believe you have to own who you are. If I can’t afford to buy a Chanel purse at the moment, I won’t buy a fake one just to “impress” others I’m fine with Zara purse.
Would never buy a fake item. I’m fine with being who I am and if I can’t afford something then I don’t need to make a fool out of myself trying to “impress” others. I’m fine rocking a Zara purse.
She just mentioned that she doesn't even want a Birkin but a LV duffle.Merry Xmas Madamvong - I can understand your disappointment in being given a fake Birkin by your husband but instead of looking at this from a negative perspective, try and see some positives in this situation 1)Your husband listens. Half of the husbands of the women on this forum wouldn’t know Birkin from Firkin. 2) He has probably heard you detailing your frustration in trying to get a Birkin and he went out of his way to solve the problem. 3) He may not have realized that you would detest a fake so intensely. 4) Those Super fakes are so good, he probably thought he was saving you a lot of money. Unless there are other problems, stay positive and keep plotting like the rest of us on how to get your Birkin. Good Luck!
