That's so cool! I remember gifting my girls their first designer bag at about the same age. Back then I bought one a small Dooney backpack and the other a small Dooney crossbody. This was a teaching moment on how to take care of an expensive item. I think the small selma messenger is a good start and don't forget to add a pretty furball. But go cheaper on the furball if you do, a 10 year old with a real fur item may not go too well, they require a little bit of care if you know what I'm saying. The bag can survive pretty much anything though. She's going to be soooo excited!! If you can, show us what you got. Now I'm excited for her.....
