Juliette de Vries is the founder of Feraggio perfect suede heels. The name says it all: the perfect heel. They come in two heights: 7.5 and 10 centimeters. The choice is yours. A beautiful shoe deserves a beautiful bag, and Juliette knows all about that.
How many bags do you have?
Five very important, five important, and 25 that I use less or never.
How did you get this beauty?
The Orange Tod’s Classic D Bag is my absolute favorite. In 2005, I traveled to New York specifically to buy it. I wanted it so badly, and it was nowhere to be found in that color, only in New York. And at that time, it wasn't so easy to just order a bag over the phone, pay for it, and have it shipped.
And at that time, it was also no way common to walk around with a bright orange bag. Certainly not in the Netherlands, but I'm just not that ‘middle of the road type’...
What does a bag do for a woman?
For me, a bag is perfect if it goes with jeans, but also with a classic outfit. It's handy as carry-on luggage when traveling, but it can also go to an exclusive restaurant.
Honestly, are you a bit careful with your bags, do you throw them in a corner or do they all sit on a shelf in a dustbag?
No way careful, I'm quite jealous of people who do that all so neatly, but on the other hand: a bag is a utility item. I often see women putting their sunglasses neatly in a case... that makes me a bit irritable.
What about the contents? Are you a chaotic person or neatly organized?
In my bag, there's a big mess, so I throw everything into a cardboard box every now and then and start over with packing.
What do you always carry in your bag?
Money, credit cards, glasses, pen, notebook, and one Feraggio shoe, always a left one. Every day I take one photo with a Feraggio, wherever I am... A kind of ‘story of the travelling shoe’. Everything that has been made can eventually be found on #throwbackthursday, but there will come a day when it will be posted daily...
