For men who have gifted luxury-brand items like Hermès Birkins, Cartier watches, or Chanel—and women who have received them: did you ask for that specific item yourself and have him buy it for you?
This content is machine-translated.
Did the man purchase it based on the woman’s request?
I’m specifically referring to luxury-brand items.
I’m Takei, a staff member.
A male member once told me that when a woman says she wants to go to a luxury brand store, she’ll point out something outrageously expensive, so he lets her choose something more reasonably priced and buys that instead.

I’m Joe.
I’m a watch enthusiast, so when I’m asked for one for a birthday or other occasion, I’ll choose a watch. That said, I do have a budget, and I’m a bit of a manufacture purist, so I’ll turn down requests for brands like Cartier, for example (lol). Grand Seiko is one of my favorite brands, but it doesn’t seem to resonate much with the women, so it doesn’t always get the best reaction.
As for bags, Nana-chan likes Dior, so I gave her one as a present. I even went to the flagship store on Avenue Montaigne. After the VAT refund, they cost about half what they do in Japan—but I somehow ended up being talked into buying two? Looking back, shedding tears beneath the Parisian sky is now a fond memory.

I’m Aya, a female member.
I’m not very familiar with designer brands, so at first, my papa surprised me with a watch he recommended.
Until then, I’d only ever owned watches that cost around ¥1,000 at most from flea-market apps, so I think he may have noticed that.

The only high-end designer bags I’ve ever given away were ones I’d bought for myself because I liked them—only to have them taken from me. Since it wasn’t an allowance-based relationship, I didn’t mind when she asked for them.
As for clothes, I’ve only ever given women outfits that I personally wanted to see them wear. If luxury lingerie brands count as high-end brands, I’ve gone shopping for lingerie together with them.
