Amayzine

Anouk Bos, owner of creatorsofdesire.com, is gradually a good friend of amayzine, I met her yesterday at Shoreditch House. About one of the coolest hotels in London and Anouk is mega cool, so she reserved there for lunch. After a strict doorman, Liesbeth and I were let in. Luckily, we were on the list.

We had agreed to meet on the seventh floor by the pool. Anouk was already waiting for us on a large leather sofa with an incredibly beautiful blonde curly hair, a white Acne blouse, ripped jeans, and Chanel sneakers. We ordered salad and sparkling water. Afterwards, we walked over to Albion, a really nice tea room on the corner of the street. Anouk has a brand new Chanel Bag and we were curious about what was in there during a fashion week.

 How many designer bags do you have?

‘Not too bad, four to be exact.’ A Chloé, Mulberry, Yves Saint Laurent, and this new baby from CHANEL.’

 Oh, I think it's so incredibly beautiful. Did you gift it to yourself?

‘Insurance money. My CHANEL boybag had been leaning against fragrance sticks all night. The alcohol and oil were completely absorbed, luckily I got money back for it and picked out a new one.’

 Did you already have your eye on this one?

‘Yes, the CHANEL matelassé I find very beautiful, but I wanted something different, because you see it so often now. This one is it.’

 And of course, you had a glass of bubbles with the purchase?

‘Well, no. I was on my way home in the car. Suddenly, I had an intense urge to buy it. Quick, double parked the car in front of the door, ran inside and bought the bag. Nothing festive about it actually.‘

 What fashion week gear do you always carry with you?

‘My phone and business cards and a powder for the T-zone.’

 If you had to choose, never buy new shoes again or never buy a new bag again?

‘Definitely never a pair of shoes again. I'm really not good at that. There is just so much. I can't handle that choice stress at all.’

 Is there a bag on your wish list?

‘I just got a new one so I'm satisfied now. Maybe someday a Céline or Birkin. I would like that.’
