In today’s episode of Closet Confessionals, we are introduced to a bag collector in her mid-thirties from Australia. Over the past decade, she has been building her collection, starting with her first Louis Vuitton bag. CC 215 has always been cautious to avoid counterfeits and has gradually built up her collection of contemporary bags until she was able to afford luxury brands.
As a smart-shopping accountant, she has accumulated nearly a dozen bags, with more than half of them being from Louis Vuitton. Each purchase has been carefully considered and tailored to suit her lifestyle. CC 215 has never experienced buyer’s remorse and has not sold any of her bags.
While she has occasionally made online purchases, she prefers to physically visit stores and experience the bags up close. However, a negative experience at a Chanel boutique has led her to completely swear off the brand.
Moving to her basic bio, she is a 34-year-old female living in Sydney, Australia, working as an accountant in the banking industry. Her annual salary is $250,000, with a total household income of $450,000. Despite not being a member of PurseForum, she has a strong presence in the bag-collecting community.
Onto The Bags, she currently owns 11 bags with an estimated collection value of $25,000 at purchase price. Her most expensive bag is a Louis Vuitton Mylockme satchel chain bag that cost $3,600. Despite the high price, she has no regrets about any of her purchases.
Her bag collection holds personal significance, with each bag marking a specific milestone or promotion in her life. One standout story is her purchase of a YSL Nano Sac de Jour Sunflower yellow bag during Sydney’s longest COVID lockdown. Even though she couldn’t wear it out, the bag serves as a reminder of that period.
When it comes to her shopping habits, she has a set budget for designer goods each year. Typically, she buys one handbag a year, sometimes twice. She prefers shopping in-store to ensure the bags look and feel right on her. Her go-to store is Louis Vuitton, but she visits only when considering a purchase.
The collector is firm in her stance against counterfeit items and has never bought or hidden a purchase from her significant other. Her bag-buying habits have not been criticized by friends or family, and she doesn’t feel societal pressure to purchase more bags.
As we delve into her personal life, we learn about her passions such as fine dining and her greatest fear of global warming. She holds her family in high regard and credits her husband as her greatest inspiration. The greatest journey she has taken so far is parenthood, bringing her more joy than all her handbags combined.
In conclusion, the collector leaves readers with a parting word of wisdom – “Life’s short, buy the bag.” She has no regrets about her handbag purchase and emphasizes the joy they bring.
