Introducing a stunning feature of Closet Confessionals from Washington, DC! A true lover of bags at her core, CC 204 developed an appreciation and love for luxury from her mom and her grandmother.

That bag, a vintage Gucci bag from the 80s, was used once and tucked away in its dust bag ever since. These days, it remains an integral part of CC 204’s collection, alongside another vintage beauty—an adorable Chanel that she purchased back in 2015 for just $500! A savvy shopper, CC 204 is mindful about her spending and able to shop and save for the future at the same time. Read on to discover the full CC below!
