Let's get straight to the point. How many designer bags do you have?
“Phew, I think I can count over 25 pieces. But, I'll be honest with you, there are also a lot of gifts among them. Tod’s has been giving me a piece every year for the past fifteen years. And Hogan is always so sweet, but one of my dearest bags is a small CHANEL bag that I got from Bastiaan van Schaik when I said goodbye at ELLE. Black leather matelassé, definitely fifteen centimeters wide and a good chain.”. ”Well, another gift. Well, I honestly won this one. During the Prêt à Pregnant MINI rally of”
How did you get this beauty?
“Janine Breukhoven-Kho I had to put together a cool outfit with my team in the PL-Line store. And we won.” Oh really, and then you got that bag?”
“Well, I would have been happy with a gift card from that store, but we ALL THREE got this Saint Laurent bag. I'm absolutely thrilled with it.”
“All the other team members are probably extremely jealous, I assume?”
“What do you think? Of course. I immediately made borrowing arrangements with everyone to ease their pain a bit.”
“It brings out the inner and outer best in you. For me, it's a”
What does a bag do for a woman?
“total final touch. With a bag (or shoes) you make a statement. You can better have a cheap outfit, a designer bag immediately elevates everything.”. I am very organized, all the bags I have still look very good. I will never let one go to waste. The contents are also quite neat, but since I have a sweet little son, I naturally come across a pacifier or face wipes more often. Or he has thrown in a stone or shells from the beach. I just leave those in there. I think it's such a cozy keepsake.”
What about the contents? Are you a chaotic person or neatly organized?
“What is always in your bag?”
“I never leave the house without red lipstick. Preferably the Rouge from CHANEL. Whether I have it on my lips or not, it has to be in my bag. The same goes for paracetamol. Besides that, of course, the daily things like keys, wallet, and car papers. Oh yes, and my sunglasses. Not only for the fashion factor but also for driving. From Ray-Ban to CHANEL, Burberry, Tod’s, yes, I have more than enough of those.”
“Say, that whole collection of bags of yours, huh? You probably don't know, but I assume you can't make your little boy Santo happy with that.‘
“I suspect he is quite heterosexual, but indeed, you never know. By the way, he often walks around with my bags now, but very cool around his neck and he can throw them around quite a bit. Luckily, I have very sweet nieces that I can make very happy. My bags will definitely get a second life.”.
“CHANEL or the Birkin Bag. Absolutely.”
If a woman could only have one bag, which would it be?
“A large black CHANEL Boy bag. That is forever and ever.”
And lastly, is there one on your wishlist?
“Cara is fashion director at Grazia and I can definitely tell when I'm on the phone with her. My god, how fun she can talk about fashion and what great taste she has...”
