she's so cute... she's so cutee.......... if i were you i wont even think b4 buying her the mini sac hl..it will looks adorable on her :love:

but make sure she knows that its something expensive, n its not a toy so she must try to handle it w care, cant chew or throw it everywhere :laugh:

n sadly u have to think about how will she be when she grow up if she get that kind of stuff when she's that young.. maybe u should give her when she's lil bit older, 6 maybe :p ?

I think it's all relative as different people are in different financial positions and have different beliefs. If you have the money and want to and see othing wrong with it, why not? I personally wouldn't but that's my choice.

lol Thanks for all the compliments! I think she is the cutest thing in the whole world. :amuse:

She is a really good kid and very far from spoiled. She never cries in the stores or begs for anything. No means no! I will never EVER let her be like one of those girls on my super sweet sixteen. Just because she's getting a LV when she's 2 does not mean she will get a Hermes when she's 12! This will be the only expensive bag I will be getting her. The rest she can work for it herself when she is old enough to get a job.

I do believe that getting this now as opposed to waiting until she is 12 is better. When she is 12 she will know what a LV is and it will make her feel like her poop doesn't stink. Right now she is so young and has no idea what it is. I want to get it for her because I think it would look cute... just like why I buy her cute dresses and shoes. :D

I have 10 year old twins (boy and girl) and when my son was only 16 months old and walking his feet were HUGE and he had a high instep. The only shoes that fit were Gucci horsebit loafers, we couldn't lace up the baby shoes without cutting off circulation. I hated to take his shoes off in public, mommy and me classes, church, etc. because I was afraid of what people would say. This was out of necessity - but I learned to not let other people spend my money. Do what you'd like but be mindful of consequences.

whoa! sounds like he's gonna be a big boy when he grows up! plan for football or basketball in his future! :D

i honestly don't believe in kids having nice things.. they dont and wont appreciate them AT ALL. like for instance, Maddox Jolie and his True Religion jeans? does he even know he's wearing $200 jeans? or anything like that.. like Juicy Couture has kids line, and all these designer jeans having a kids line..

however, the kid is THE CUTEST when they do wear designer clothes/accessories. normal Baby Gap clothes just don't have the same look.

Well I'm in the minority here, and I do not mean to sound snotty at all, but my boyfriend makes a great living, and he owns his own business and I own my own business, so we decided together to get his daughter a pochette accessories. She loves it, and if she gets all A's on this report card she is getting a small Coach tote that she wants for about $120.

I don't mean to sounds *****y but I work my butt off and so does my boyfriend, and if we have the money and are privileged then I see nothing wrong with giving your child a sense of wealth. You don't see adults *****ing when they are in debt up to their eyeballs with houses, expensive cars, etc. Plus we have no debt, we pay only cash.

The reality is if you have the money there is nothing wrong with giving your children whatever you desire for them to have. And believe me, by boyfriends daughter is a very well grounded young lady, she does chores, which she gets paid for, she doesn't just get money handed to her, each chore has an assigned dollar value, if she completes the chores then she gets her money at the end of the month. She doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, she makes her bed, puts the dishes in the sink, etc. She gets $30 a month. She buys her own little things out of that. Clothes are the parents responsiblity so we buy those.

I just think if parents are priviliged then there is nothing wrong with giving your children nice things, just because some adults can't afford it doesn't mean your child shouldn't have it. And if I'm a millionaire when she turns 16 and she wants a BMW, then she'll have one. If she wants a used VW Beetle, which she loves right now, then she'll have one.

Not trying to offend anyone but the reality is people that make more money have nicer things, there is no reason why their children shouldn't also.

He is huge and plays both baseball and basketball. You really need to be careful with the material things you give kids. Just because you can afford something doesn't mean you have to buy it. Use the money for exotic/educational trips, etc.

If you can afford it, then why not. But I think it is important to teach children values. My 4 year old daughter has a pink coach bag that I got her and she never leaves the house without it. She knows not to throw it around because I tell her that mommy is not getting her anymore and that this is the only bag she'll get so she values it more.

Why not just buy one for yourself and let her borrow it for special occasions (even if its just for going to the mall with you)? And when she's older and you think she is appreciative of things then you can let her own it. That way it would also teach her to look after things that belongs to some one else.
 
#72
I think you should wait till she's older! Who knows, what naughty girl might steal her bag, or she might get something on it! Maybe get her a cute Coach bag-- like the mini hamptons weekend, it may not be as classic but I think it fits her age more than an LV does.

Maybe you could get the LV for now, wait a few years? lol.

I don't think it's a matter of being able to buy it.
Even if you have the money, the issue is more: is this kid's stuff? At 3 does she already have a taste for LV? Why not let her be just a kid?
With your means you can buy her all sorts of stuff, activities, cute kids parties, cute clothes, even cute accessories, but kids stuff.

That is my opinion, then again a friend's mom bought her newly adopted daughter a mini LV to match her mom's speedy and it was like an expensive toy since she was just a baby and would just drool on it... That was funny and cute, but maybe just to play around the house!

Hmm, I don't really like that idea. It's like kids growing up too fast that they couldn't enjoy childhood the way it should be. Don't be too anxious to thrust her all the designer stuff, makeup and all. Let her enjoy Hello Kitty first.

At least it's cuter than LV!
