    I remember my first Expensive bag was a Nine West bag I bought from Macy’s for about $70.00. I was about 17 years old. It was light beige (which was very on trend in the late 90’s) and I felt fancy carrying that bag and wore it to my first out of high school job interview in San Francisco. I walking around downtown and seeing all the high end stores for the first time and it felt like being inside fashion magazines.

    90s Chanel, oh the heady days, I can absolutely tell you loved that era too, just from the way you style items sometimes. Even the catwalk shows, nothing today matches the energy of them.

    Hi Sophie! My first designer bag was Gucci, I was young, (it was a million years ago now) but working. I literally wore holes in it! Even though my friend and I were so young we were welcomed by the SAs in the store in Bond Street, London. Hugs xx

    I think you should pull out the dior bag more often, it's stunning! I understand why you wouldn't want to use it but maybe you could pull it out for photos and cut aways 😍

    That Dior bag is gorgeous and one I haven't seen before. I'd love to get something similar, in need of expanding my handbag collection but cant afford designer bags. It's so thoughtful that your husband bought you that bag and the vintage Chanel bag. My boyfriend likes buying me hairpins and vintage skirts for holidays. (Yes I do send him the etsy link).

    Thank you for sharing! Not gonna laugh at your Tommy Hilfiger bag. My 'first' designer bag was one of my mom's bags (a gucci tote the size of a house - this was the early 2000s and everyone was allergic to backpacks). I replaced it with a Juicy Couture (again, early 2000s) bag and walked around school with it genuinely thinking I was the shit. Now when I think back, I cringe and I cringe.

  • @staciarenee2982

    I completely agree with you when it comes to being thankful. I love your Bvlgari top handle and wallet so much 🥺 those are 4k over here in the US and that's just leather. I have two Bvlgari serpenti bags that i love and i bought them before the prices went up. One in 2020 and the other in 2022. One of mine has gone up 400$ just in the couple of years.
    I also love your chanel bags, esp that iridescent chanel boy (do you still have that?) Even though i don't like the boy that much-- that version though is stunning. Chanel is just 2 much for me now... i have 1 19 bag but that's it.
