### **1. Purchase Guide: How to choose the first LV bag?**
1. **Clear budget and purpose**
– **Entrance level ($1,200–$2,500)**: Classic canvas series are cost-effective, such as **Speedy 25 (approximately $1,500)**, **Neverfull MM (approximately $1,700)**.
– **Mid-to-high-end ($2,500–$4,500)**: Leather series such as **Capucines (approximately $5,000+)**, **Dauphine (approximately $3,300)**.
– **Favorite grade ($5,000+)**: Rare leather or limited edition models, such as crocodile leather custom series.
2. **Classic vs. Seasonal model**
– **Classic model value prestige**: Monogram Presbyterian and Damier chessboards are never out of date, and the second-hand market is highly liquid.
– **Seasonal Fashion**: The co-branded series (such as the Yayoi Kusama cooperation model) is suitable for pursuing trends, but has low value preservation.
3. **Size and Functional**
– Daily commuting: Neverfull (large capacity), Onthego (tote bag).
– Exquisite dates: Nano Speedy, Twist chain bag.
4. **Material selection**
– **Canvas Canvas**: Wear-resistant and lightweight, suitable for daily use.
– **EPI Leather**: Anti-scratch, rich in color but high in price.
– **Vernis Patent Leather**: It is eye-catching but easy to dye, and needs to be carefully maintained.
