LV Budget $650 (USD)

*for k.

a friend of mine inspired this post. a friend of hers has a handbag budget of $650.00 usd. what, at LV, would you be able to purchase - handbags wise - around that price range. and in monogram canvas?

i could dream up various combos (slg's, clutches, handbag, etc.) ;p but for practicality, functionality, convenience and price range in handbags, here is what i came up with. let me know if there's something else that can be added to this LV dream list. *sigh*

^ The Neverfull Collection comes in 3 sizes.

GM is Grande Model, the largest Neverfull size; MM is Medium Model; PM is Petite Model. GM is a great size for most, however, PM is a great size for those who aren't into ginormous handbag totes, and for those that carry lightly daily...

^ Neverfull PM.

Currently $650 USD. I say "currently" because LV does price increase approximately 3x per year. Measures 11.2" x 8.6" x 5.1". Open top with dog leash closure and side cinching for extra security and versatility. Cotton canvas lining with a huge inside zip pocket which can hold makeup, keys, cell, odds & ends.

^ Odeon PM. $715.00.

$75 more than budget, here is another option. Secure top zip closure, sleek messenger style shoulder bag, one outide flat pocket to slide loose paper, inside patch and cell phone pocket. This is the smallest size of the Odeon line. Adjustable straps are a plus.

Measurements 11.4" x 10.2" x 2".

^ Odeon GM size retails at $1,100.00 USD.

I placed a pic comparison to show size difference between PM & GM.

^ Montorguiel PM, $800 USD.

When this adorable LV named after a trendy bohemian-chic community in Paris, France first came out, it was retailed at $750 I think? Can't remember. But for $150 more in budget, this could be a forever til death departs you bag..

^ Eva Clutch (can also be used as a daily purse). $550 USD.

Measurements 10" x 5.1" x 1. 8". Can be carried short over shoulder with chain, or cross body with Vachette strap. Strap is removable. It seems tiny, but this clutch purse can hold a small wallet or a small coin pouch, keys, makeup, cell. Daily essentials.

Memorable Shopping Day (^_^)!

among our little crew, two happen to be the best behaved little shopaholics in training ;P they were patient, completely interested in everything we looked at, tried on, whined about wanting.

the two girls (codename "chicktucky" *their codenames the boys gave for reasons unknown?*) kept themselves preoccupied window shopping with us
*thanx for the ADORABLE pics you took that day, K!*
