Gift for my God-Daughter.

[lizs]

Hello Ladies. My first time on the LV forum.
It's my God daughters' 18th birthday in a few weeks and I would like to buy her a special bag to celebrate.
I think that Louie Vuitton would be appropriate, but would appreciate your advice on a style suitable for an 18 year old.
We will be shopping in London if that makes any difference.
Thank you so much in advance for any help.

How nice of you!!

What price range are you looking at?

 

[lizs]

itsonlyme Maybe £500max. Would that be enough?
Thinking of something she could use everyday without it being too precious.

Well, my college age daughters each have and love their mono speedies, and also each have a batignolles horizontal, which they love too (if you want a shoulder bag).

What a wonderful gift!

 

[beljwl]

a neverfull would be perfect

Mono speedy is usually quite popular with young s, although I personally think the Tivoli PM will make a lovely gift too!

How about an eva? It works as a casual bag and a dress-up bag.

charleston-mum and beljwl Thank you!
I'll get on to the reference thread straight away.

My niece is turning 18 in June and on our family trip to Hawaii she had to have the speedy damier ebene 35. Since we have returned (our trip was in November) she has used her bag everyday. My suggestion would be a speedy.

 

[Wentworth-Roth]

Either a Speedy or a Neverfull.

I think a speedy is a wonderful first piece of LV. I LOVE mine and still use it quite frequently!

 

[lizs]

Yikkie and iamsmilin thank you for your suggestions.
I'll check them out.

I would either go for a Mono Speedy or a Damier NF. Good luck!

4Elegance and Wentworth-Roth Thanks for your advice.
It seems that the Speedy is looking favourite at the moment!

megs0927 Thank you for your reply.
I really hope to get her something that she will use for years to come.
I think LV looks better as it ages.
