HELP!!! What bag makes a good gift?

[BEn]

Last year I got my sister a Dooney for Christmas, and she loves it, and it "works" quite well for her. Since then I have goten her some smaller items from Coach and Dooney for her birthday and such, but this year I want to "step it up" and get her something nice. I would like to spend under $500 (and under $300 is better), and live in Chicago, so all major designers/stores are right here. Does anyone have any sujestions of what to get her? She is 16 and on the shorter side.

Thanks!

How about a LV Wapity (eluxury sells them for around $300).

yeah, an LV accessory/small item is a great idea.

what about a marc by marc jacobs bag?

 

[muppy]

how about a black epi pouchette accessories? ($360) Every gal needs a little black bag and this bag is timeless!

I agree with muppy and rose..I LOVE the idea of the Wapity. It's tiny and cute and something a 16 year old would also love, probably in the multicolore.
And if she's not a big color girl, the Epi pochette is perfect..it's understated and luxurious at the same time!
What a lucky sister you have..I can't get my brother to buy me ANYthing lol.

Wow, lucky lucky sister! I *love* the vernis.. you could get a ludlow wallet for $335. I'd definitely pick a designer she's familiar with and work from there. If you ever need another sister, pick me, pick me!!

Wapity or LV pochette will be cute..

and wapity is a cute choice too.
good luck

I know it's not as "designer" as all the other suggestions made, but what about a bright colored Longchamp tote. It's practical, cute, and very classy.

Burberry wallet is nice.

You could get a sml Mulberry bag or wallet - they are always realy nice and classy, and also exclusive - I hear there aren't many Mulberry concessions in the US. They might be expensive tho; over here they aren't too badly priced.

You may want to check out Kate Spade bags...I think they're pretty.

If you want to get her a handbag, how about a Kooba or a Hayden Harnett---both brands have lovely leather and you get a lot of bang for your buck!

Maybe, a LV Speedy mini? Any of the pochettes would be nice for someone her age. Definitely check out Kate Spade. They have some trendy bags and I see many girls her age with them.
