Chanel Ginza, Tokyo
Chanel Ginza was a must visit for me when I went to Tokyo for the second time this year because at the last visit, we visited so many Chanel stores and could not find what we wanted. We missed Ginza though so this time round, Chanel Ginza was a must. THREE glorious floor plates filled with Chanel beauties, who could resist?
I told the Hubs and kids to take a walk whilst I went to Chanel and the Hubs thought I was going just to look see. Like WTF. Look see? I want to BUY!!!
The store was SUPER BUSY!!!! It had a beautiful life and a beautiful staircase to transport customers across all three levels and a private concierge to take you up and down too. They had a LOT of staff yet not enough to service the many customers that were there all waiting to be services, me being one of them. I waited half an hour or more and then I said fuck it. If they didn’t want my business, I was leaving. It was just not meant to be. This is my THIRD time unlucky. Every time I am abroad, I intend to get a bag because it is cheaper, nicer, whatever…..but it is never meant to be and I end up getting it when I get back to KL and paying a few grand more. Sigh.
So I liked this baby pink simple shopping tote on the bottom left. I think it was going for some ridiculous price of RM18,000 plus. I also like the beige-pink handbag on the top right below. But I wanted the bigger version and of course, it was out of stock already.
I like this blue one below too. I have been searching for a blue bag and the Chanel Boy Blue has been on my mind for the longest time.
So after I chose what I wanted, the Hubs suddenly said, you’re not buying Chanel!!!
Why the fuck not?
Because we need to save money!!!
But I make lots of money!!!
Yes, and you need to save it!!!
What’s the point of working then if I cannot enjoy my money???
You do not know when your open heart surgery is happening. The kids have to go to University abroad. We have a high lifestyle. We need to save money!! Plus you keep giving so much money away, how much have you given away this year already???
*gulp*
But out of every RM50,000 I make,surely I can spend RM10,000???
I just think we need to save money. You never know when I will be out of a job.
*groan*
OK, if I don’t get Chanel then I’ll just get Michael Kors or something. OK!!!???
OK, if you want Chanel, go get it then. But you need to promise me that you will start saving money!!!
No, I won’t get Chanel. *merajuk mode on*
Because seriously, we need a back up plan. You never know when things happen. We need lots of money saved.
*sulk*
We have dinner with my friends tonight.
I don’t want to go. I’m not feeling sociable at all.
*ignores Hubs for the next hour and moans to kids*
T1, the ever sweet lass, urges me to just get the Chanel bag (despite her always advising me NOT to waste money) and that men don’t understand but she sees how hard I have worked and that I deserve it, etc. Bless her soul always. T2, also feeling sorry for me, goes to her Dad and advises him to better talk to Mommy because Mommy is very sad.
We walk into Lindt and I buy a whole load of those Lindt chocolate balls and we get a hot chocolate and go upstairs for a seat. The girls walk away to the bar counter and push their Dad towards me and asks him to talk to me. For the whole hour after that, they keep spying on us and trying to eavesdrop on our conversation. I was seriously pissed. I had made way over RM100k last year and he wouldn’t allow me to get a RM20,000 bag. But if it were a watch or a car that cost more, it would be OK. He just felt bags were a waste and he brought up my bag collection. The house has no space and my heart breaks every time I see you thrash your bags on top of one another because you have no more wardrobe space. *rolls eyeballs*
So when can I get another Chanel bag? You tell me! Cuz it feels like a waste of my time working then if I cannot even spend my own money…..
Look. If you are earning RM100k a month, then you can go get your Chanel bags ok?
Can I have that in writing? Cuz I know you, when I make that amount, you will still stop me with other reasons. I’m already making more when I was working and I still can’t get a bag. This is rubbish. I might as well not work.
If you don’t work, the girls cannot go to school.
Huh?! Since when???
I cannot afford their school!!! It’s RM70,000 every year and increasing!!!
Then why did you insist T1 goes to International School!!?? *dimwit*
Because that was when it was just T1. Now it’s T1 and T2. There are huge bills to pay!! *rolls eyeballs again*
This is bullshit.
I gave up. This is my stingy hubs. The next day, I went out and bought myself a brand new pair of classic black Christian Louboutins and a few other beauties.
It cost a fraction of a Chanel bag but I was happy. He didn’t question.
Tis’ the story of my Chanel Ginza experience. So lucky Chanel KLCC…..soon they will be hearing from me. Heh.
