I got my first LV bag for my 18th birthday, it was the pochette. I remember my mom coming to the store with me knowing that I wanted some pricey purse which she was ok with but when she saw how small it was she flipped! Either way I must have trained her well because for my 21st birtday a few months ago she got me a Speedy 30! Now I'm on a mission for either a Chanel ligne cambon bag or an LV Manhattan bag. Wait list for both
