Yeah but when that thought costs 3K...shouldn't it match up with her tastes? The guy said he is clueless about handbags.
That would be like her just randomly picking out an expensive road bike for her husband who is a cyclist without knowing what size frame bike he normally rides, etc.

The op says up to 3000. Not 3000. Not around 3000. Up to.

No a husband buying a purse for his wife for valentines day is nothing like that
Edit: buying a purse for his wife for valentines day AND her birthday

Why isn't it?
For some women, fashion is a hobby/interest for them. If he's thinking of spending up to 3K on a purse for her, then clearly she likes designer stuff.
And you need to read the thread a lil better....it's for her bday and valentine's day.

Michael Kors
MrsBears was looking at some recently and the ones she showed me had various knockoff features of other designers like Louis Vuitton, Coach, Dooneys and Brahmin (?). Would not buy MK for her based on what I've seen.

3K??? I don't know your age or how long you've been married but be prepared to get something more expensive every year following. The voice of experience, go to the Coach store in the mall. They all love Coach.

No. My coach suggestion was a joke
Coach is so over. I wouldn't be caught with one

Not these days..
Well, maybe here in LA. But it isn't what it used to be as far as what;s "in"
Regardless.. I don't care what she likes.. I just want to echo Nurse that OP shouldn't pick something out unless he knows her like a gay BFF.
I wouldn't want Jones to pick out a bag for me.

My husband bought me this handbag for Christmas and I really like it. You could do a Chanel flap bag also, but it will be a little more than $3000. Best bet is probably to give her the money and let her buy her own bag.

who in the frick goes on a board and asks about a $3k handbag. I'm pretty sure you could easily find something to spend your SB gambling winnings on. i think its pretty fricking lame of you!!!
Posted on 2/3/14 at 1:35 am to 9th life
My wife is hard core into purses, as are a few of the LLOTOT it appears. Your best bet in the $3K range are Louis Vuitton and Chanel, and your wife will love it.
For your sake, never mention the word Hermes to her. After four years, my wife was able to get her first Birkin and Kelly and omg it just escalates.
Actually, best thing to do, don't spend $3K on a purse if she doesn't have anything like that yet. Get a YSL (now called SLP - Saint Laurent Paris) clutch for $800. I'm warning you, don't cross that $1K barrier!

for 3k you can get your wife a Prada or (imo, my favorite) a Mulberry or a Dior bag. Check out bluefly and you can see a couple of designers and compare. You could possibly swing a Tod's bag too, but they're for specific tastes.
jmo I'd get her something that's not common in the US ie Mulberry. But, again, that's for specific tastes. Not everyone will like them.

For 3k at LV you could do matching purse/wallet and still be under budget. If she didn't want standard brown leather at LV they have a higher grade leather that comes in a wide variety of colors. I just had to talk my woman out of getting second LV. She already has one with LV print all over and she wanted to get a checkered one- I suggested she diversify beyond brown purse.
To OP, purse taste is very individual, you'll either be a hero or a zero. But if you're a hero she may carry the bag for 25 years.

My brother's girlfriend seriously might not have a purse that costs less than 3k. Talk about someone expensive to shop for.
Posted on 2/3/14 at 9:05 am to 9th life
Chanel, they're classic. Go to SAKS, they'll be happy to help you out. I would probably go with a classic black one.

I think it is very sweet that you are wanting to pick out something for your wife. How romantic. The girls who insist on picking out their own gifts, engagement rings, etc. don't know a good thing when they see it--if they are ever lucky enough to see it in a guy. If my husband picks something out for me, I love it regardless. I love it because he picked it out especially for me. He thought about me and wanted to do something nice for me. That means the world to me. Not the jewelry or purse or whatever. It's literally the thought that counts.
Holy shite.
I need a bullshite stamp ASAP.

If she's not already way up there yet, don't jump right in and get her one Chanel. My GF has a slew of bags in your price range, but that has been a progression of several years. To some extent, diving right into a 2800 dollar bag is cutting out that for her (and upping the ante on yourself).
For 3k you can get her a LV/Marc Jacobs and 2 other higher end lesser brands. Most girls I know who are obsessed with this shite still carry their 400-600 dollar bags for weeks on end, despite having 2500 dollar bags.
FWIW, as a guy, I think the best all around looking ones are the more professional Tory Burch bags. Of course, I judge based on how timeless and well constructed something appeals, which isn't how females look at things. Chanel looks the sloppiest, IMO.

I can't believe I'm getting involved with a purse thread, but I recently did some shopping for one for my wife. LV is pretty nice. I ended up buying her a Bottega Veneta hobo. That would run you up pretty close to your 3K limit.

My wife learned that the best place to get handbags are thrift stores in nice areas.
