Thanks for letting us know, Anna!

So happy to hear she loves it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-355006 Tue, 24 May 2011 19:26:13 +0000 MsMary 355006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! I think LAMB is a great choice because, as has been noted, it's a totally identifiable and enviable brand for somebody that age!!</p> <p>P.S. You can adopt me any time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-354999 Tue, 24 May 2011 19:22:24 +0000 annagybe 354999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She got the bag and loves it! Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-350921 Mon, 16 May 2011 18:41:19 +0000 annagybe 350921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So GILT today had LAMB bags. I got the Montfort in black for $105 including shipping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349600 Sat, 14 May 2011 05:31:01 +0000 Maya 349600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is she off to college in the fall? If so my instinct would be more of something that can be used to carry around books and notes or even a laptop. As much as I liked the idea of small-medium bags, I virtually never used them when I was in school. There was just too much to lug around.</p> <p>Agree with Steph. I have two Matt and Nat bags and both have been great. One served me beautifully when I was a student and survived much overstuffing, banging and mashing on the train, and plenty of other abuse on a daily basis. Much easier to clean than leather too. The other is newer but even more fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349597 Sat, 14 May 2011 05:22:23 +0000 marianna 349597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd totally go for any LAMB bag. At 18, labels are important and LAMB is pretty recognizable and cool!</p> <p>I also like these little Marc by Marc Jacobs crossbody bags: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/marc-by-marc-jacobs-classic-q-percy-crossbody-bag/3121156?origin=keywordsearch&#038;resultback=360" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ma.....ltback=360</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349594 Sat, 14 May 2011 05:18:04 +0000 Lena 349594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you seen this specific version of Matt &amp; Nat, Anna? Personally, I'm not very fond of their newer finishes (looks more plasticy than others), but the La Roux is a fun awesome bag. Last year they had a finish called Stellar, which was more distressed looking (I also like the Hendrix and Santogold Stellar clutches, they could still be available online). </p> <p>I like your taste I really like all the LAMB bags mentioned, especially the Montfort and Brigitte. It's hard to decide without knowing more about the recipient. The Brigitte can fit lots of things inside, so it could even be used as a school bag of sorts. The grey is a super color. The Montfort is adorable and the detailing makes me drool, but it's canvas, so I don't know. I'm kind of stalking the larger version of that bag. Actually I like the other two LAMBs as well, so in fact I'm of no help whatsoever.<br /> I would have loved to have a stylish style mentor like you when I was that age. And to have any of those bags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349327 Fri, 13 May 2011 20:12:32 +0000 Steph 349327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In defense of the Matt &amp; Nat bag, their bags do NOT feel or look like cheap, fake leather. They are high quality faux leather, made for people who specifically look for vegan bags (as opposed to bags that are faux leather because they are made to be cheap). I own several Matt &amp; Nat bags and I think they look just as nice as my leather bags (purchased before I stopped buying leather). In fact, I have one pebbled Matt &amp; Nat bag that looks and feels just like my pebbled Kate Spade purse. So I wouldn't worry about that at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349310 Fri, 13 May 2011 19:41:17 +0000 Scarlet 349310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THE GREEN LAMB ONE!!!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349297 Fri, 13 May 2011 19:15:59 +0000 san 349297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure anything you choose, she will love.<br /> With the first one, my thought was that the chain strap looks uncomfortable. I think they are good looking but they are not so nice to the touch.</p> <p>I love all of the LAMB bags that are leather.</p> <p>My 15 yr old grand daughter loves to use her mom's LAMB bag when she can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349268 Fri, 13 May 2011 18:56:57 +0000 Lori 349268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the L.A.M.B Brigitte or Montfort bags you linked or the L.A.M.B. mini cross body that Inge linked would be great for a high school girl. I can tell you I would have been in heaven if someone got me such a killer bag when I graduated.</p> <p>I bet she'll love anything you chose. You have a great, youthful, edgy style that most girls (who am I kidding, lots of women too) would love to emulate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349244 Fri, 13 May 2011 18:46:03 +0000 Inge 349244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Matt &amp; Nat bag, and the last three L.A.M.B. bags.

To me that has connotations of importance, quailty, longevity and the long commitment it takes to complete your education. </p> <p>How about something like this:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/vince-camuto-jac-clutch-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/vince-ca.....utch-black</a></p> <p>Maybe I am projecting my own feelings about bags.

At the time I wasn't exactly crazy about the gift, but it has been so handy over the years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349088 Fri, 13 May 2011 14:53:32 +0000 Melissa 349088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also on team handbag impaired, but I love the one you linked to!

Other brands that come to mind around that price range with interesting hardware/edgier details are B. Makowsky, Hype, maybe Betsey Johnson... a smaller LAMB might fall into your price range, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-349072 Fri, 13 May 2011 14:23:45 +0000 annagybe 349072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/present-for-female-high-school-graduate#post-348830 Fri, 13 May 2011 02:37:46 +0000 Aida 348830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't give any suggestions as a member of handbag impaired, but I think the one you linked is great!

She had some rough bits in school so I'm very happy she's graduating. I was thinking of giving her a handbag. Her mother says she has similar tastes to me.
