Our daughter (eight, going on nine) has one as well ... cherry blossoms pochette. (Pre-loved, from fashionphile and authenticated here.) And if you hang around our nearby malls or outlet mall, you just might see her carrying it. (To match the title of the thread.)Obviously, she is too young to work (that would be illegal child labor ). But as far as hubby and I are concerned, she more than earned it when she achieved her black-sash ("black-belt") in kung fu. She has trained for over three years, literally four days a week, for 2.5 hours straight on three of those days. Some of that time is also spent teaching other, lower level sash kids (many significantly older than her), which in theory she "could" be paid for. But alas, as I said, child labor laws. ..... Actually, I did once calculate how much she would have "earned" over the last couple years, for helping to teach the lower-sash classes, and had she been paid minimum wage. It was something over $3000. So no, it wasn't her own money -- hubby and I bought it as her black-sash celebration gift. But you know, hubby and I have sat in that kwoon at least three evenings a week for over three years, and we know the students well. I've seen many *adults* start the program, only to drop out after the first few sash levels. I've also seen young-teen boys literally run away during the sparring part of the three hour test for black-sash (the exact same test our daughter took). The end is a solid ten minutes of kids bigger than you, basically trying to hit/kick/pin you. If you run away, you fail -- Shigung (head teacher) is very clear on that. Daughter did not run. ... Yes, I will honestly say that she has more determination and persistance than many adults I've seen. (Shigung's opinion as well, and you should just see how proud that man is of his youngest black-sash.) And that has carried over from kung fu into schoolwork, a youth group she's a member of, and other activities as well. At her tender age, she has already learned to do your best and never give up. To *us*, that's how she's "earned" any nice things we've given her. More than that, she has the respect of her kwoon, which is easily more valuable, and more precious to take care of, than a thousand handbags. She takes it all extremely seriously, because she knows it's her birthright culture. .... And some day, my little girl will return to visit the province and social-welfare-institute from whence she came, and she's going to make *them* proud too. Compared to those things, that little piece of coated canvas is nothing more than incidental. (Sorry for the ramble.)As for storing them, daughter does understand the concept of taking care of nice things. Her LV pochette (along with a couple small Coach items she's received over the years, and a Juicy Couture small leather bag she has which is too small for me, but I purchased as part of having her picture taken with Tim Gunn -- one of her heroes) ... they all "sleep" in their dustbags on shelving in her room. She's *thrilled* to take them to things like "ladies' lunch out", shopping, church, etc. We have yet to walk into an LV boutique yet, with those blossoms on her arm, but I'm expecting she'll be one excited little lady. Yeah. ... Anyway ..... . Louis Vuitton Store N61747 Damier Ebene Canvas Sistina Wallet Louis Vuitton Sale

OP, why is it important that those people were Chinese? There are loud people of every race. And it's not like they were beating others with the bags. I think you're just being a little too sensitive. louis vuitton azur wallet
