Nearly a decade ago when I started purchasing luxury bags (slowly and carefully), I thought I was already contented with my Neverfull DE which I used nearly every time I head out with my firstborn. I had all the diaper and travelling experience with that bag, along with my daughter. When I fell pregnant the 2nd time few years later, I could not forget about the Alma PM in Amarante that I had to splurge. Again, I thought that was it - this bag will follow me forever on every special occasion. I always love how beautiful a Lady Dior looks, but I could not justify the price and I do not think my lifestyle suits that clunky and matron-y bag, so the Alma PM in the vernis leather was perfect for me.
When the Pomme de Amour colour was released, my jaw dropped. I rushed to the nearest store with my husband, and he said "oh my, what a beautiful colour. You must have it, and I will buy it for you as a push present." Who was I kidding if I were to resist? I do not even remember if I brought my wallet that day as I dropped everything just to head to the boutique to get the bag. With my husband's generosity, my heart was filled with love and when the purchase was made, I felt that my happy aura was contagious for miles that day! I went home, and hug both my Alma PMs. My growing daughter started to speak, and she said she wanted the red bag. I knew my husband and I did the right thing!
After that, I never had any other interests in their new releases, and I even gifted the Amarante to my sister because I no longer feel as much love as I had before. I thought I will not be buying anymore LV until I saw the Pochette Metis in the reverse monogram. It changed everything, and I started to believe that there is no such thing as purse peace. I hunted for that bag for a long time, and finally, I managed to secure one last year. Was I contented? Yes. Did I sleep well, knowing I have finally gotten what I wanted? Definitely. Am I browsing LV website every now and then to check out new releases? Also yes. Especially these two years.
What is purse peace?
