Now my mum loves her Louis Vuitton trunks and obviously Louis Vuitton make these in France, my SA told me she could get me an appointment to meet someone at the LV factory called Ducey, it's the newest factory apparently and it's in France near the chateau Mont Saint Michel. Like that would be amazing to go there...but even better to be able to design my own trunk! So I'm going to take my mum there and let her design her own trunk too, its going to be amazing!!! We even get to watch them start making it! My mum has been raving on about how she wants a custom trunk that can have bag and shoe compartments that she can just keep in her room and like a closet. And to top it all off, I'm going to buy her some bags to go in it so she'll open it and see her other presents already inside! I'm so exited and just thought I'd share it with you guys! My SA is going to send me over all the details and what day we're booked to go there

Very nice, please post pics of whatever you can capture.

That's so sweet, you have a great budget of £2000 so you could get her the SC, because your spending so much already, add £200 to the budget and that will be a timeless and beautiful peace. If you want to stock to budget get her the alma and a lovely wallet to match. Sure you will get something great:-)

This is awesome! I was going through your thread and it seemed difficult to get her something different that will really wow her but this idea is perfect! I love it! She is blessed to have you. Please take lots of pictures. Good luck.

Hey, thanks I wanted to share it with everyone who wanted to know, it's just a shame people doubted it, I'll post all about it in a week from now once im back

looking forward to seeing your reveal

The Totally is a great bag. My mother has one in Azur (PM) and one in Monogram (MM).
It's a classic bag, very chic and practical. I think your mother will enjoy them

Thankyou they'll take about two weeks to make apparently, depending on size, but I'll do a thread with all my pics from the factory next week
