CC 127: The Dior lover With a Newfound love for Bottega Veneta

In today’s installment of closet Confessionals, we meet a 30-year old collector with a penchant for Dior and Bottega Veneta. This collector’s love for bags began with her very first handbag, a Longchamp Le Pliage. since then, this confessor has amassed an impressive collection of bags, including some of the most coveted pieces of the moment, from designers like Dior, Chanel, Bottega Veneta, and more.

This confessor is a smart shopper who understands the value of paying yourself first and not buying a bag unless you can truly afford it. because of this mentality, she’s not done anything too crazy to snag a new bag. COVID has definitely impacted her collecting, and it has not only afforded her more funds to make purchases but has also caused her to become more experimental with her choices. read the full CC now, and don’t forget to submit your own!

Any particular bag that holds a special sentimental value? Fendi 3Jours bag in dove gray was the first ever designer bag that I bought for myself in Fendi boutique in Florence. It was not a cheap purchase at the time, and it meant a lot to me to be able to buy a designer piece for myself.
