i don't know how old you are... but i think for the price, you should get chanel especially if your mom is getting it for you.... it's so classic and timeless... u can use it at work and all the functions...
LV is great too, espeically for all ages... and it's not so pricy that you can't get one for yourself later on
chanel, without a doubt. i'd trade my LV"s in for a chanel any day. For some reason they are just much more classy and sophisticated. i wish i owned a chanel bag...lucky girl!!!
