Hey guys, i'd like some help please :D

[Helpmeplease]

Basically, my mum turns 45 on August 13th, and I wanted to buy her a handbag, money really isn't an object s'long as the price is under £500 (approx $1000)
I've been looking on the Louis Vuitton website, she told me she wanted a bag that looks good and is small, so i don't think ill be needing more money, but the thing is, apparently the bag she has allready is worth a lot, its some burkin bag.

I can't ask anyone else for help, as 2 of my aunts live in manhattan, my uncle knows less than me, the same with my dad, and i dont like any of my moms friends and our housekeeper said she didnt know much about handbags, i would ask my mom, but shes on holiday with my dad, and shes not back till the 12th

Sooo, I want to get her something nice, but i'm really confused, I mean, does
http://www.louisvuitton.com/web/fla...OTNOFAACRBXUDVAFYKEG4RAUPU?buy=1&langue=en_GB
count as a proper handbag , because if i can get something for cheap, i could spend the rest of the money myself
Or, should i go for soemthing that the website describes as a proper clutch/handbag
e.g. http://www.louisvuitton.com/web/fla...OTNOFAACRBXUDVAFYKEG4RAUPU?buy=1&langue=en_GB

please help

If your mom is carrying a Birkin now, she's probably going to like a simple, classic bag. Neither of the links you're showing shows an actual bag, so it's hard to give an opinion on either of the bags you have in mind.

Yes the links aren't showing. The birkins are expensive..not sure what she would want from LV. This isn't under 1000 but its close, and its a a nice *small* bag. http://www.eluxury.com/browse/product_detail.jhtml?styleid=11421361&SectionID=6000

I'm not sure where you're from but usually there is no tax on elux and this week is free shipping. You can search through elux, and I'd also suggest asking this question in the LV forum. They also have lots of pics you can look at of members modeling their bags. Good luck!

Thanks for the help.
Kneehighz, that was one of the links, the other was the smaller clutch version, plus, she said she wanted this bag for casual wearing, as she only wears her other one when she goes to work

Change in topic, anyone suggest any bags ?

I'd check out the LV Epi Speedy 25 & 30. I think they look quite nice.

Some other options are the Marc Jacobs Raquel (can be found at eluxury.com) and the Miu Miu croc embossed satchel (at www.neimanmarcus.com or www.net-a-porter.com , cheaper at NM).
