Hi, everyone - I'm thinking of getting my first LV, and was wondering what people would recommend as a "starter" bag. I really love the damier canvas, both the original and the azur, but I'm not sure what style would be best. I like the Speedy, but I don't know how I feel about a bag I can't carry on my shoulder. I would probably opt for the smaller size if I did that.
 
I'd say go for the Speedy, it's a classic and you just CAN'T go wrong, though it wasn't my first bag, Speedys are so pretty~. If you want a shoulder bag WITH the hand-held option, get a Trevi~!!! Have fun getting your first~!
 
that's a great idea Serendipity, I would go to the store when you have time and play with the bags that you like that way you can make a decision and be happy with the bag.... the selections are endless. Good Luck, it's fun going to the boutiques....
 
How about batignolles horizontal...it's a nice sized bag and not very expensive. Good first LV imo. If you prefer something smaller, maybe a cabas piano, or one of my faves - popincourt haut.
 
I love the speedy! The alma is a classic too, and it has the special hooks on the handles where you can attach a shoulder strap so you can use it both ways. I recently purchased the neverfull mm, and I love it! It's so roomy, affordable, and comfortable on the shoulder with the thin staps. It's also the new hot LV bag, but they haven't come out with the neverfull in damier yet. Just some ideas!
