Never let me go near a Dunhill store without taking my wallet from me; that’s the moral of the story.
As of yet, I have never been able to walk into a Dunhill store and not walk out with a bag in my hand, in fact my impulsive buying at that shop in particular is a bit scary.
The damage today wasn’t that bad….err, relatively speaking. I’d been looking for a new pair of winter gloves for the past week or two, having even dismissed a pair i liked somewhere last week because they were “too expensive” ($100)…..fast forward to today, I was invited to the Audi Forum in Manhattan for some free drinks, a look around the cars they had, and a general social gathering. The gathering was quite boring, so i swigged down 2 Amstels and decided to walk 9 blocks to go to the Dunhill store.
The damage? Well the winter “Shearling” gloves i bought were $225. But OH how they feel when i put them on……the inside is lined with mink fur, and the outside trimmed in leather and suede. I drove home in the TT, and the gloves just felt EPIC. Surely the fact that i’d just spent $225 on them made them just that much more beautiful.
If you so the math, it’s almost 1 whole percent of the price of the 911R you mentioned the other day. If you are serious about that car, start ignoring the Dunhill shop!
ha! thank you for injecting some logic into me, Misi 🙂
