On our honeymoon in Hawaii my husband wanted to go on a helicopter trip but I refused it. As it was one of his things “You must do before you die“, he asked me the question which always works, “what do I need to do get you there?”

I replied,” buy me a Fendi handbag”, I did not even have the time to think about it and found myself sitting inside a small helicopter. To my surprise the driver wore slippers.

In that moment I thought to myself that I should have asked for the famous Berkin to make it worthwhile.

We survived the flight and for the rest of the holiday we spent searching for the perfect Fendi handbag.

To my surprise the shops in Hawaii did not have my dream bag. I was a virgin when it came to buying designer handbags.  We did not buy anything and was very disappointed when we left Hawaii.

However, a few years later I spent some time in Selfridges during a January sale. I was originally going to do window shopping only (as you do). However, after a few seconds, I spotted just the bag.

I called my husband who had to come to Selfridges to meet me after a long day at work.  In that moment I fell love with all designer brands. Since the honeymoon my husband never asked me the magical question again.

But I am waiting for the next special occasion.  The bag on my list is now the Chloe Sally Shoulder Bag. I just hope that the moment will come very soon.
