Gift for mom?

[msleex3]

Hi girls,

I've just started to make my own money, and wanted to get my mom a purse. My mom has never been the type to splurge on herself (she has three children -- and she is more than generous with us, though), so I wanted to buy her a nice purse with the money that I made. I don't make much (I work part time as a tutor), but I do want to get her a nice leather, large bag. She's very, very conservative and likes classic styles (so definitely no studs or bold statements [no bright JUICY letters]), so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions! Thanks so much!

How about a nice leather Coach bag? Not too expensive and pretty conservative, that's what i got my mother for Christmas!

My mom is the same way. But she doesn't use purses so I bought her a Coach leather skinny and she loved it. I agree with a Coach leather bag. Depending on how much she typically carries, the Carly and Hampton lines are beautiful and versitile bags.

Are you looking for a tote or a shoulder bag?

If it's a shoulder bag, how about a Monsac bag?

Monsac Grand Top Zip Shoulder - Smooth Leather > Leather Handbags > Handbags - eBags



also available in red

If you prefer a tote, how about a Piel tote?

Piel Large Leather Working Tote > Ladies' Business Cases > Business - eBags

Another suggestion is to have a bag custom-made in the US by an experienced leather craftsman for under $200 (I swear I don't know Henry Hibbard from Adam )

Conservative, classic, reasonably-priced:

Maxi Tote Leather Handbag
