Well she does have a reason for it - for the coming japan trip.
She doesnt have a mid size bag which can hold a camera. The never full we have is XL and its quite cumbersome to lug around.

Okok in short she buy, i just accept LOL

So cute, yet functional! Confirm can hold her camera and more, yet smaller than the Neverfull. :)

Oh care to share more? What is this rewards card?
Sorry ah not frequent flyer......
Click to expand...

for amex rewards card, if SQ is under your favourite 5 merchants, you get 50% more points in addition to the 1pt/$1.

lets say a air ticket is $1200, and you get 1800 points. if you convert the points to miles, you get 1000miles (based on 450points to 250miles conversion)

now for KF ascend card, the same air ticket you also get 1000miles (based on 1miles / $1.20 spent conversion)

amex rewards card is the white colour one.

My wife sold her 3 Speedies because she felt they were a bit too common. Only plus point is that the material used for the speedy is good and tough.

For the Granville, it is made up of soft lambskin so it definitely is a bit more delicate but it has a hard bottom so the bag doesn't sag and loose its shape like the Speedy. The bag has an outer "shell" that allows you to put your phone or tissue paper etc without opening the bag itself.

And the bag is definitely something you don't see everyday. I bought hers when I was in London last year, because she wanted a particular colour from the 2013 Cruise Collection.

The sling comes standard but not the scarf, which I bought separately.

As for the price, let's say you can buy 4 normal speedies for one Granville.

Happy shopping! :s12:

i nv lie to my wife or gf one... same thing if u dun want others to lie to u dun do it first. I ish before spending on something sexpensive i will get something for her first. Of cos u must show her yr earning power. Use only the "Extra" money u earn to buy all this luxury items.. If really no extra $$ sell something away to buy new toys.

Especially GF when she know haben get own house own reno own car... when u buy any toys she will eyes big big one.. but if u let her know yr have set aside the $$$... only use extra to buy such be ok one.:D

Haha that's part of the reason why I decided to splash out on my first 'proper' watch at the end of last year. Broke up with my gf a couple of months prior, but also partly to celebrate getting a big raise. I know that if I were in a relationship, very hard to justify this kind of expenditure to her and in the end will probably have to buy something to placate her, ie. will end up spending a lot more than intended :s13:
