My (M28) gf (F27) is mad I gave her a black Valentino bag instead of a red one.

I had promised my gf we’d be buying a new bag for Valentine’s Day. There’s a specific one she really liked from Valentino - they’re known for their red colour, and she wanted it in red. We’ve been looking at it for quite a while, and I’ve even shown it to her that many times she recognised it from memory. <br><br>One day I saw it at a store, and bought it. Except it wasn’t red, it was black. I thought she might like that one too. <br><br>Yesterday she saw the bag, and was really upset. She started crying and saying I don’t listen to her and that black isn’t her colour, only red is. She loves the bag, so she’ll keep it, but she’s still very upset.<br><br>Is this something I should apologise for? Maybe I didn’t listen to her?<br><br>​<br><br>EDIT: Wow this blew up. I didn’t expect this. Thanks everyone for your comments and your support. Yes, I’ll try to listen more to her, and I understand where she’s coming from. My intention wasn’t to upset her, and it sucks that she didn’t like the gift. It’s clear she’s very upset from the comments, so I’ll just have to try better next time, and I’ll definitely try to.<br><br>Thank you all so much.
