I wanted to get my wife something unique and unforgettable for our third wedding anniversary. As a stickler for traditional anniversary conventions, I wanted the gift to be more special than the custom-made card I had given her on our first anniversary. So, I thought an exotic leather item would be an ideal gift this time round.
As I was racking my brain on what to get her, I recalled that when we were dating, she had shown me a handbag that once belonged to her mom. She played house with this handbag as a young girl. Seeing her enthusiasm as she spoke to me then and thinking nothing much of it, I took the step to check and memorize the handbag’s brand name on the label. Years later, I was secretly glad I did that because I knew what to get her for our anniversary.
Abro, the German manufacturer of my mother-in-law’s handbag, was founded in the 1930s. As an old company, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had an internet presence and were still producing high-quality, elegant ladies’ handbags made from Italian cow leather. This Handbag TEMI Leather Kavir Standard I got for my wife has all the things it should have—light, brown-colored leather, with a flip top clasped with a magnet, and a body containing two main compartments inside, one with a zip, and a removable, adjustable leather strap that can easily strap across the shoulder.
Furthermore, I liked that this handbag, like everything else in Abro’s collection, was made with sustainable materials. More importantly, my wife was overcome with nostalgia and pleasure because of the spontaneity, unpredictability, and memory of what my gift meant to her, all crowned by the long history of quality and sustainable tradition of the makers of this handbag.
