[Ms. P]

I need some advice on a handbag for a 12 year old in the under $100 range. Any ideas or suggestions?

I remember when I was twelve one of my first 'purses' was a cute diesel crossbody bag.

perhaps a cute diesel, fossil or even lesportsac messenger might be age appropriate, fun and inexpensive.

some of these are okay: http://www.crossbodypurses.com/2010...-celebrities-carrying-cross-body-purses-post/

What kind of things is this 12 year old interested in? A fashion fan might like a handheld or shoulder bag, whereas a outdoorsy or artsy type might like a crossbody bag.

when i was a pre-teen, my first "designer" bag was a dooney. they have some really adorable younger "prints", and their bags are really durable. plus, they have the 12 days of dooney right now, and you can get some fantastic deals!

lesportsac is totally cute too. durable and lightweight. as is kipling.

I was going to write the same thing! dooney, lesportsac or kipling are great ideas!

Yup kipling, lesporsac when it gets dirty u can just throw inside the washer

Kipling, coach outlet, Vera Bradley, Kate spade outlet

I guess all 12 YO are different but I would probably think Fossil or Kipling would be good bets.

What about a small Longchamps Pilage - I bet she would love that

The poppy line for Coach is designed with younger people in mind I believe. Also agree with those who said Dooney.

Assuming she doesn't need to carry much with her, Coach poppy has some cute small bags. I think they are over $100 but if there is an outlet near you they will be on sale there.

My cousin just got a Longchamp handbag for her 12th birthday. She loves it!

I loved Fossil when I was younger, I had a crossbody bag with a lot of pockets.

If you live near a Coach outlet, then I suggest finding a bag at the outlet under $100. Some Coach styles are very girly, and smaller bags are priced below $100 on clearance.

How about Juicy Couture or Guess?
