If I had a young daughter, I would prefer to pass onto her one of my bags rather than buy her a brand new one.

To me, the difference between spoiling dogs and spoiling kids are the consequences and responsibilities that come with spoiling kids. To bluntly put it, dogs are simple and won't grow up to be demanding brats (though some do, LOL). If a parent can raise a kid with a good head on their shoulders while buying them expensive things at the same time, then more power to them.

Ok, I'm going to be honest here............she is ADORABLE! Get her the Mini Sac HL by all means! Expensive bag or not, you do what you want to do. Whats the harm in getting her this bag?

I have a 19 mos old daughter and she loves to carry bags ... I wonder why:smile1: I always buy her the cutesy little Hello Kitty ones but I don't think I would go out and buy her a LV one. I have some LV pochettes that I wouldn't mind letting her carry for a party ... but I definitely wouldn't buy one meant just for her. I'd want to buy her one when she can appreciate what a LV bag was.

i dont mean to hurt anyones feelings... but i think expensive handbags on kids go hand in hand with dressing them up for beauty pageants and making them look older than what they are.... its just not right.. besides kids have NFI what LV is... i think they would get more use out of a Bratz backpack or something

It would really look cute on her! I think it'd be okay depending on where she's gonna bring the bag. Of course, there are just some places that are really inappropriate for her to use it like school, less affluent neighborhoods, etc. Just my honest opinion! :)

I used to work at Ford Field (Detroit Lions) in Guest Services. Oftentimes I would see the player's family members and other famous people. It was not uncommon to see their children with designer stuff, including LV mini sacs. If that's how you are living, then go for it. I wouldn't go for broke tryna buy a child a designer bag, but if ya got it like that, go ahead. I've also seen lil girls with Tiffany silver and David Yurman so not a big deal to me. Different Strokes for Diff Folks.

What a sweet little face she has! She's precious! I say get it! I don't see anything wrong with a three year old having an LV if that's what you choose to do. That's your business what you choose to give her (or not give her).

I agree with Minnie. As long as you keep an eye on it while she's out with it. I bought the same bag for my daughter when she was younger. She was 5 or 6, enjoyed carrying it and learned to take care of it which in our experience has helped her learn to take care of all of the nice things we've bought her since.

It's really something you have to decide for yourself, though. Give thought as to what it will teach your sister and don't concern yourself about the message it may or may not send to others. People will ALWAYS have their opinions about what someone else does. Don't let others define you and what you want for your sister. If you decide against it, that's fine too. But let it be your decision only.

3 may be a bit too young,simply because they tend to crud things up a bit with sticky fingers,crayons,etc. Maybe when she's a bit older.My daughter will be turning 13 this year and one of her gifts will be a small LV bag. I'll be purchasing it used,of course.You can usually find small ones on eBay for under $100

it looks so cute on her, Michelle! I think if you have that much disposible income you should get for her. I was in the same situation where I got negative comments from others when my son turned 16 and I bought him a brand new Bmw M3. Till this day he has not received one ticket or been in an accident. I told him if his grades fall he'll have to pay for his own insurance. He's been making straight A's as usual. I find that I have a little more money than before and this allows me to get things for my children that my parents wanted but couldnt get me. I hope this makes sense!

I agree. I will provide everything within my reach for my daughter, but if she becomes one of those kids you see on My Super Sweet Sixteen, or if she gets into tons of trouble, the spiffy gifts will be a distant memory.

At the same time, I don't think we, as parents need to justify buying things for our kids. JMO. Some parents can provide more than others or choose not to provide certain things. Everyone is different. Every situation is different.
