oooh, i see the problem here
the problem is that you spent a shit ton of money on something PRACTICAL. she doesn't want to break it cause it'd be a waste of money, but it's defeating the purpose.

next time, by her a small handbag in her favorite brand (mulberry, louis vuitton, whatever)--not a large one, a small one. or several small ones, if you want. if you don't think you're spending enough, buy her a small clutch bag (a clutch bag has no strap) and a wallet to match. the wallet is something that she can use to pieces without feeling bad about wearing it out, cause it's just a wallet. and small clutch purses are MEANT to be used sparingly, so she won't be offending the purpose of the bag, and it'll last her 20 years. trust me, i'm a chick with a Coach purse.

You're probably right...
wouldn't mind if she had just said "look it's too much use, can you get me something pointless instead". What really bugs me is that the handful of times it has seen action her colleagues and clients have all commented on how great it is and they wish they had one!!!
