I vote for everyone who says to start with an SLG like a wallet or a key cles. Something small but still Vuitton, a souvenir she'll cherish. Save the bag for a milestone like graduation.
I had this same experience. I got a Gucci Ophedia for my 16th birthday. I was thrilled - but because I knew it was designer and expensive - and since I was an insecure teenage that really meant something. I also still didn't appreciate the value of a dollar. I treated the bag terribly and I don't know where it is or what ever happened to it. I feel terrible I didn't treat the bag better and appreciate it more. (UGH. The teen years )My father bought me a Chanel ligne cambon tote for my 16th birthday....I treated that bag like a book bag...it looked horrible in under 2 years. I still regret the way I treated it because it was a stunning bag and he has since passed away. I just wasn’t mature enough to handle such a designer bag. I think it truly depends on the maturity level of the child in question
