Is this your first LV? May I ask your age? Also would you venture outside of monogram canvas?

Do you think certain styles are more age appropriate than others? I hadn't given much thought to this aspect of choosing the right style. I have a short list of styles I'd been lusting for, but I would be curious as to what suggestions you'd make based on my age and see if that fits in with any I'd been eyeing. I'm 37...I'm self-employed (artist) so I don't *need* a bag for the office or anything. I like a good medium sized bag that I can fit most of my essentials in, but not so large that I look like I'm wearing a carry-on. (I need to be able to fit my pda, a wallet with checkbook, glasses, lotion, cosmetic pouch, tissues, and keys.) I only use small bags for going out ot dinner or holidays or other special events where I only take a few essentials with me (money, lipstick, keys). I know the speedy is the quintessential LV, but speedy is not on my current wishlist. I would love to hear what types of suggestions you have for me based on my needs and age.

The styles I had really been eyeing are: drouot, alma, batignoles horizontal, saleya pm...zippy organizer for a wallet...and for times I need a small bag, I like recital, pouchette accessories and trotteur. I'm really only interested in mc or azur. Oh, almost forgot, I also love the Denim baggy GM and I like the monogram groom items too.

I was considering the Alma, but decided to go with the Battignolles Horiztonal instead and I am SO happy I did -I absolutely LOVE this purse....I can wear it over my shoulder if I want, otherwise carry it with my hands - it's an AWESOME purse and so many other people have raved about it too! I just got mine yesterday, :heart: :heart: :heart: this purse!!!

It really depends on what your needs and wants are :smile:

for examples, if you carry alot of things then i wold definently suggest a Batignolles Horizontal or Cabas Mezzo (or Piano). The only thing with the Cabas is that they are all vachetta bottom. :sad: so you have to be very careful! If you only want something classic then definently go for the speedy. Nothing better than a speedy to start off your collection!

If you want to venture out of mono....how about a Damier speedy? The speedy is a must-have and Damier gets you out of mono canvas. Or.....a multicolore speedy to add some color to your collection. Or.....something in the Epi line....like an Epi speedy!
Can ya tell I love speedys LOL
