Add to that the saltwater crocodile skin version is the most expensive variety, just depends if she has diamonds with it or not

Surely the bag is to keep your diamonds in!
Seriously 1 carat D flawless diamonds are a good way of carrying excess finances.i have known a woman who did-and before you all comment no one remotely related to me.:shock:

My parents work in the jewellery business and have clients doing just that. It's been explained to me that diamonds are a better investment than gold, but I can't remember the exact reasons why as I've always tuned out, having never really been into precious metals or rocks myself.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Mum has cleared the waitlist for a Birkin bag!!!!!! She ordered one with saltwater crocodile skin with palladium handles. She's been waiting for at least a year or 2 now.

My wife's cousin, works on/lives at a corocdile farm that supplies Hermes. I even got a tour of the farm a year or so back. So I might have seen your mum's handbag already.

Nice! You'd have seen more than me. I'm still trying to teach her how to use her newly acquired iPhone to take pics and send MMS's. *deep breaths*

Very Snappy!

(and snazzy as well)

It's not a symbol of anything - it's a lifestyle. Knowing Mum she'll probably lock it up in a case in the deepest recess of her bag room.... only to retrieve it occassionally to stare at it.

now if it was my wife she would say this bag i have had it for ages you just have seen it before or my sisters gave it to me !

Yep, that's a line I have been known to use on occasion but it isn't so good for shoes sadly

I prefer to keep any wealth that I may have quiet from the rest of the world....the only person that needs to know if I have any wealth is myself....:shock:

Good philosophy.

Not that I have any wealth that needs to be kept quiet.... :-|

"This old thing ... I found it in the walk in while I was looking for something else "

Someone I was chatting to recently was complaining that their friends kept asking to stay at their holiday home.

My simple answer:
"Don't tell your friends you own it. Problem solved". Unless you're a wealth flasher, keeping your finances private is one of the best things you can do.

And I fall for it every time.

Doesn't work so well for Alessi kettles or crockery sets....

I'm in Japan. Finally back in the part of the world with a more palatable time difference to home.

Quite a weird thing here - most of the places that have free internet insist wired internet (i.e. LAN) rather than wireless. Meh, works for me.

Well that's something you and Shrek have in common.
Another favourite in view if the falling US dollar : " they were practically giving it away honey!"

I found the same thing here in BKK at the HI where the internet was included in the cost and no nasty surprises.

The time difference here is four hours and I reckon I will feel it for a few days once I get back tomorrow morning.

Isn't that always the case when sale season comes around? "We're actually saving money."

I'm in the US on Black Friday.
