First Purchase?

Many people follow Louis Vuitton with enthusiasm knowing that the day will come when they will purchase a pice of their own. When that time comes, despite all our research, we are faced with a choice: What to Buy?
Often this choice is constrained by Budget. (isn't everything?) But within your Budget are a huge Range of Choices. Part of your research needs to focus, not on "What can I afford?" nor "What do I want?", but on "what do I need?"
Many times you will see Social Networking posts from people saying "I have never used this" or "It's much too big for me!" so the questions you need to ask yourself are:

• What is my Lifestyle? A young mother requires a quite different bag to a Career Woman.
• Why am I purchasing this Bag? It is a reward for hard work? A successful conclusion to a University Degree? or other Successful recognition? Is it a "Revenge" purchase? Is it a "keep up with the crowd" purchase?
• What do I require from this purchase? Do you require a "hard working handbag?" that will carry your computer, papers and necessities for the next 20years? Do you want to be able to relive the joy of your success every time it is in your hand? In the case of a "push reward" you certainly need a capricious bag, that will last through several babies, but you may also need your bag to transcend to a different use later? In the case of a "Revenge Purchase" you need to ensure that your purchase continues to bring you joy in the longer term and does not remind you of the difficulties that led to this purchase!

For myself?
My first purchase was a Zippy Wallet. A beautiful and most useful piece in it's own right, but life changes as we progress and these days I need to carry Glasses, Phone, Lipstick and assorted Cards and transport cards. The Zippy is a lovely wallet and carried all my cards with ease. it carried my iPhone, any cash that I might need, a small pen, but it would not fit my Glasses, Lipstick or Car Keys!
​My advice therefore is pictured below. Carries all my cards and transfers from Handbag to pocket, to jacket....
I gift these to my loved ones to celebrate their "coming of age" or special Birthdays.
The Pocket Organiser is acceptable to girls, boys, men and women and vastly useful under all circumstances.
