haha...sorry man...picking handbags is like picking wheels

GL..no matter you know she is going to like it tho, just don't pick an old lady square/boxy/brown paper bag shaped looking purse ...
Thanks for the advice GENE! I am going to try Boca Town Center Mall. If this doesn't work... then I will try eluxury.com or I will run away and join the witness protection agency.

Stop! Abort! Do not try to buy the "right" purse for a woman. It will NEVER happen. It is a very personal item and even the smallest detail can ruin the deal. Trust me, I bought my wife a larger LV in Damier and she smiled and carried for a while. Then I noticed she wasn't using it after a few weeks. Her sister later confided in me she didn't really "love" it, but didn't want to hurt my feelings since I bought it in Nice. Of course, she'd used it so we couldn't return it to the local store for something else. Ugggh!

It's like a watch or a mod or even a gun. Only you know what you really want. This bag is something she will cherish for years--let her pick it out. Go to the LV store in Boca and get a catalog and wrap that up as a surprise. Let her savor the anticipation and see how excited she gets when she thumbs through the options. Then take her to pick it out and have lunch to celebrate. 2 cents.

You, Sir, are a very wise man. This is exceptionally good advice.

I agree, you may be better off letting her pick, but it does ruin the "holy crap" look on her face. Congrats on the graduation. Having said that, I dont know anything about louis vuitton, so good luck.

The Formula 1 is an awesome watch, I have been thinking about getting one for a while. I would go with this one but thats just my opinion.

They have the best quality fake lv bags I have seen and they come with lv receipts and shopping bags. I promise you she would never know the difference, it doesn't matter how much she knows about handbags.
