My life in a bag

Isaya Elais

Just by looking at this girl, you know she’s got taste. It probably won’t surprise you either that she works as a model and that she always manages to get decked out in the nicest outfits and always has the perfect head of hair. We’d almost forget to check out the little darling that’s dangling from her shoulder. Curious what she’s got in it and how well she takes care of it? Isaya is here to tell you.

How many bags do you own?

“Haha, I’ve actually never really counted them but if I have to make a guess, I think somewhere between 15 and 20.”

What’s the story behind this bag?

“I bought this bag a couple of years ago in Amsterdam at a place called Waterlooplein at a stall with a bunch of vintage items. I love wandering passed stalls at flea markets (even though they also consist of a lot of trash) to look for a new treasure.”

How well do you take care of your bags?

“I’m not super careful with my bags, but this one is still one of my favorites for the summer so I do try to keep it looking as nice as possible. And I have to stay, for it’s age, this bag is still very much in tact!”

What about its content?

“I actually always have a small bag like this one where I keep things like my wallet, phone, keys and lip bal. I also almost always carry around a canvas bag filled with a bottle of water, an extra vest or sweater incase the temperature decides to drop, and my phone charger.”

What do you think are the best qualities of a bag?

“First of all, bags are practical because they allow you to carry around whatever it is you need, yaaay! Plus, they also add a little extra something to your outfit. A great finishing touch!”

Which bag is still on your wish list?

“Hmm… I have two answers for this question, Either I would opt for a chill backpack from The North Face, or a fancy shoulder bag from Chanel. But okay, if I wouldn’t have to pay for it myself, then the decision would be easy haha.”
