A Bag Virgin

I've been helping a friend selecting his first 'top designer' bag. He showed me something he picked out which mostly were from runway collection, so I disagree. I told him his first bag should be timeless and kinda basic, not too flashy like those seasonal collections. I gave him choices between Louis Vuitton (I hate to say this but it's his very first bag by the way), PRADA, GUCCI and BALENCIAGA. At the end, we conclude he should get BALENCIAGA because all the other brands can be seen everywhere in Bangkok, both real and fake. Finally, he made his decision and placed the order at the store in London for, not one but two, of BALENCIAGA bags - Weekender and Courier. I'm so proud of him, my little sister is growing up...
