When I bought my first designer bag, from Belgian designer Michael Vanderheyden I was really happy. My first investment in a solid leather bag, that feeling of luxury was overwhelming. I carried it everywhere and when people asked, I smiled :)
Shortly after, my next craving popped up. Dutch designer Ellen Truijen caught my eyes, known for her simple and pure designs. I have tried the '48hrs revival', 'the belly', 'tiny tom' and the best wallet I ever owned 'pac your money'. When it come to simple, beautiful quality bags she has wonderful pieces you will love.
I am not done yet, because Céline caught my attention. Doubts that kept my mind on the safe side of spending. First of all, I already own that many precious pieces, so why get another bag? Second, repeating the 'why should I spend that crazy amount of money on another designer bag'-question in my head. Thirdly, why is there a hunger for more?
If I strolled trough my hometown Maastricht I always peeked at the windows of designer boutique Kiki Niesten to see if they would have a black trapeze. In December 2013 the moment was right. I told myself I deserved it. I worked my ass off that year, running my own business combined with a 4-days a week job and spending all my free time in living a healthy and fit life. I gave in and convinced myself to buy the Cline black zipped trapeze. Beware, you will always find another excuse! That moment when I swiped my card, the blood rushed through my veins of excitement, happiness and shame. Ashamed of the amount of money I spent on more arm candy..
