Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Verona MM


The New Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Verona collection is the newest from the Damier Ebene line. According to my SA -"K", it came out last April 1st. I remember seeing it on the LV site and was absolutely stunned because I thought it was the most gorgeous bag I have ever seen in the Damier Ebene line. I fell in LVoe with it. The collection has 3 sizes, PM, MM and GM. It was a saturday and the LV store in the city was packed. I think a lot of them were tourists and there was a huge crowd of Chinese tourists by the counter where the Verona was displayed. I had to fight my way through them to get to the purse, thankfully K was there (K is the sister of my hubby's former co-worker, so we technically knew each other) and I was able to try the PM and MM sizes. Woo hoo! I can feel blood rushing through my veins at top speed once I tried the Verona MM, even my husband knew that the bag was calling my name out loud. It was the same feeling I felt when I got my Chanel. Plus, my husband's comment made my attraction to it even worse, he said "hey you can carry our future baby's bottle in it and still look stylish" not that I will use LV purses for a baby bag anytime soon! I am not rich! I guess if I do become a mother someday then the purse will definitely be very functional due to its size to fit all my other knick knacks.  However, despite my heart racing a 100 miles/hour, I did not end up getting the purse that day...But I put on a happy and satisfied face because I told myself I really have to improve on my self-control....wrong! I spent the next day lusting over it on line and looking at reviews. That's one of my techniques to determine if the purse is really worth it or not. Three days later, I got home from work and saw a purple baby bottle on the dining table. I was surprised and asked the hubby about it. He said, "oh because you'll soon have the purse for it". I thought he just bought the baby bottle for fun and so I played along. Our night was usual, went to the gym, had dinner and watched the season premier of Glee (which we both love). I was going to hop into bed but decided to sit first and finish my text msg when my husband came in the bedroom and said "hey look behind you!". A bit surprised, I turned my head and alas...an LV dust bag...I was actually sitting on half of the purse! I freaked out !I was stunned! I didn't want to touch it thinking it's my imagination. I literally chased my husband around the house laughing and screaming at the same time. But it was real, I took out the purse from the dust bag and there it was my Verona MM, it was so surreal, I was in shock.  He had been planning to get me the purse as a surprise since we first saw it...and he did. He called the store, picked it up after work and set it up before I got home. He said, "didn't the baby bottle give it away?" I smiled. I am truly blessed with the sweetest husband in the whole wide world. I will give a detailed review of the purse on my next post...for now here's my husband's editorial pic of the purse :)
