A reader asked me recently what would be a good shoulder bag as a gift for her mum, whose birthday was coming soon. The new Louis Vuitton Epi Madeleine GM in Ivory, I feel, would be a good choice. Elegant, pristine and big enough even for A4-sized documents or a slim laptop, this would be an ideal gift for those nearing their prime.

I don’t have the price of this baby yet, but I promise to update it soon.
