Fendi peekaboo hands down for me. It’s leather, the craftsmanship and work that go to making the peekaboo is insane. It’s totally different price point because one is in classic gorgeous canvas and the other one is silky smooth leather bag.
What is an age appropriate first handbag for a teenager?

Alma B.B. I have one in monogram and it’s my favorite bag! I wear it everyday! (I’m 31 years old, but I think it still works for me!)
Happy birthday!

I would go for the Alma bb in DE. It’s versatile (handheld or crossbody). It’s waterproof. I’m assuming you are still in school, so you don’t want to worry about the rain. It’s a cute, well made, and worry free bag.
What do you mean by age appropriate? At 18 you can carry anything you love and your wallet ( or your parents wallet) allows
I want to look like a regular teenager, not a “madame”
Good point, but many Madames aim the look like teenagers, (or as young as possible in any case. ) If your aim is to blend in like ‘regular’ teens as you refer to them, just check what everyone around you carries. Different groups have their uniforms and at that age girls and boys like to ‘belong’. A bag alone won’t make enough difference is the overall look that matters.
Happy Birthday, Leena! 
Wise decision with the LV DE BB Alma...classic, worry-free and fun! Enjoy!

Thank you!! Have a wonderful day![emoji177]
I think either of the Almas would be perfect and a very cool way to celebrate your Bday.
A very Happy Birthday to you!
A very Happy Birthday to you!
In my opinion the Antigona is definitely the "youngest" of them all.. I always thought of the others as more "ladylike" whilst the Antigona is more "sporty" and effortless. In fact, I am 28 and feel the Antigona is a bit on the "young side" for myself, unless it would be for a super casual gym, or travel bag etc. Haha. So I'd go for that one indeed if you want to avoid the lady-look!
The Alma could ofc work for you if styled in the right way, but the overly feminine shape makes it a risky choice as it easily becomes very "madame", I could see my grandma carrying that bag, and she would have looked very stylish and age appropriate. And the same goes for the peekaboo too, ofc, if can be styled in a younger way, but is a overall quite "serious looking" bag, I mean, it's a safe choice for the working women that are 40+, but not what I would choose if I were just turning 18 and wanted a young and fresh look.
But as some one already pointed out, whether you'll look age appropriate is will depend more on your personal style than the specific bag you choose.
Good luck deciding and happy birthday!

Aww you’re super helpful, thank you for going through all the trouble it really helped me a lot!!![emoji1][emoji177] I appreciate it! Def not going for the peekaboo anymore!
Happy Birthday! I'd go for the DE BB Alma, mainly because it is extremely durable and will last a long time.
