I am swooning & so giddy tonight! FedEx delivered a box to my office today from my long-distance beloved... inside was a gift-wrapped box... with the classic flap handbag in black caviar with goldtone hardware, an early Christmas present! When I called to thank him, I got all choked up becaused this is the handbag of my dreams (the most expensive one I own is a Ferragamo I purchased on eBay, and today I was toting a shoulder bag from Target
)
He told me he purchased the large because he thought it the most practical, but that I shouldn't hesitate to exchange it for the medium size if I thought that would please me even more. And in all honesty, I think the medium would better suit my petite frame. The problem is that he purchased it from the Chanel Boutique in his city (the gift receipt was tucked inside), and there isn't one within close-enough proximity to me that I can make it there before I leave on Friday to fly back home to spend Christmas with my family. According to the Chanel web site, however, the Saks in my dad's town does carry Chanel handbags.
Will I be able to exchange the bag there, and if so, will the difference in price be refunded to me in the form of a credit or credited to my SO's charge card? I would much rather have him get the benefit, not me, and maybe that can be accomplished only if I send it back to him so that he is the one to make the exchange? Many thanks in advance -- your input will help me decide whether I take the handbag with me -- and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all!
