The "best husband" award goes to.....
Me! Who else?! This is my blog, so I give myself
the award...:)
Well, you might recall my 1-yr anniversary gifts (emphasis on the "s") to my lovely wife Dina. You can read a little more here. Actually, I dont think I blogged about her 2nd gift. I decided to surprise her with a cool, one-of-a-kind, hand-made, hand-painted, leather purse. Ok, ok, it didnt cost me thousands, but it is a very unique leather "work of art" that makes every other female she bumps into ask "where did you buy that purse?". Seriously. I read an article in bello magazine about Armando Murillo, the artisan who makes them and has sold to lots of famous hollywood peeps (johnny knoxville, j-lo, jessica simpson, etc.). The article had lots of photos of the different styles, colors, and sizes. I instantly knew Dina would love one, so I snuck off to Olvera Street one day and took a guess and chose one I thought she might like the most (fyi, i chose wrong:) but she exchanged it).
But the reason I'm blogging all this is to give Armando Murillo some props for being not only a very nice and funny guy, but for creating such beautiful pieces of work. His prices are very very reasonable, you'll find something you like between $150-$250. I asked him why he didnt have a website and he said he just doesnt want to get overwhelmed with work(?), so he just sells at his little storefront. So, girls, if you're ever in the Olvera street area, go look around for MURILLO LEATHER and buy yourself an awesome purse that will make all your girlfriends envious! Or if you are a guy, trust me, the wives & girlfriends will looooove these things!
Oh, almost forgot,....if you are down there at Olvera street, make sure you find Armando's store, there are a bunch of other wannabe leather stores there that sell cheap stuff from tijuana who will NOT tell you where his store is at! His store is unit "W-6" The only way to reach him is by phone 213.309.2255.
