KIKI’S NIEUWE TASSENVERSLAVING

A round of applause, circus song, and praise for all the women who can leave the house with few belongings. I can't do it. Minimalism? Not for me. Am I going on a city trip? Then I definitely can't survive on just hand luggage. Maybe these practical packing tips will help you, but really, I'm lost.

My surroundings have gotten used to the fact that they have to wait for me at the baggage claim. My friends accept that I am that person who still has to pick up her suitcase at the end of the night out. And then maybe also lost the receipt when the shit really hits the fan. You see, I have other qualities. For example, devouring a bottle of white wine in ten minutes. That's pretty impressive too.

‘And then they were there. The bags from Lipault from Paris’

Again today, my bag is about to explode. Sportswear packed (‘Kiki goes to the gym take 237.. and… action!’), laptop, flats for when my feet beg for some comfort at the end of the day, a gigantic makeup bag, a bottle of water, a small ’extra bag‘ for in the big bag, two pairs of sunglasses even though the sun isn't shining (dafuck), then a regular reading glasses, a parachute (just kidding), chargers, headphones, cords, misery.

Call me a hoarder, materialist, crazy person but really, I need my stuff to feel good. My bag needs to be big and sturdy to handle my lifestyle. It should be cheerful and radiate that. Bright orange, blue, yellow, I love it. And then they were there… The bags from Lipault from Paris. In soft colors, romantic shades. Totally retro and wonderfully large. And here’s the thing: they also have 4-wheel suitcases, weekend bags, and toiletry bags. I'm sold. This is love.
