Louis Vuitton

"I use LV CarryAll MM."
"Speedy or Neverfull"
"My first one was a Speedy B25 and 5 yrs after, still looks so gorgeous 🤎"
"An iconic piece you will never regret getting."
"I have to vote for the Alma BB because she literally arrived 10 minutes ago at my door."
"I’d go for an LV. They’re hard wearing and great for daily use."
"I’d go for something like a Celine Ava or LV Pochette Accessoires — comfortable to wear and comfortably fits the essentials."
"I would go for a Louis Vuitton bag in épi leather. They are very low-key and durable. LV never goes on sale and their classic styles hold their value."
"The LV Pochette Accessoires. If you don't want the new one with the chain and want to save some money, you can almost certainly find the previous model in excellent condition on Fashionphile."
"An LV Speedy seems the most suitable starter designer bag for you. It is iconic and the perfect day to day bag."

Celine

"Very happy with both 👜"
"Celine Phantom hands down."
"I’d go for something like a Celine Ava or LV Pochette Accessoires — comfortable to wear and comfortably fits the essentials."
"Perhaps the belt bag by Celine. It’s pretty under the radar but super well-made and durable."
"Celine box bag, Celine belt bag. Think solid leather, NO monogram, limited flashy hardware, minimal branding."
"Celine triomphe"
"Celine teen 16 is also a good option :)"
#3
Chanel

(7)
"Anything from Chanel!"
"I would go for a classic Chanel. It’s timeliness and will hold its value forever."
"Then I got a LV never full and a vintage Chanel black classic flap."
"I have a $5700 Chanel bag that just sits in my closet. I've used it once."
"I love Chanel & LV however, for the price point LV for the win!"
"Depending on lifestyle, chanel wallet on chain or any of the newer styles."
"Go for Chanel or YSL."
#4
Saint Laurent
4.2
(5)
"I’d let her choose but you want to buy I would go for something beautiful and classic. Saint Laurent or celine has beautiful classic bags"
"If you're looking at leather items instead of canvas, I think I'd go with YSL out of the designers you mentioned."
"I’d want a YSL bag personally. Well I have one but it’s pretty small. 3-3.5k would hold a lot more goodies."
"YSL baby Niki. It converts well from daytime/casual to evening and the logo isn’t super loud."
"YSL Cassandra!"
