My life in a bag
ZOE KARSSEN
This Céline beauty is the property of our fashion friend Zoe Karssen. Zoe is currently one of the coolest designers out there. From her sweaters with cool texts like ‘Easy-Tiger’ and ‘What’s Up Buttercup’ she’s got us piling up our wardrobes with stacks of shirts and sweaters. Ever wonder what Zoe carries around in her own bag on a day to day basis? Check it out here.
How many bags do you own?
‘I own six really great bags.’
Which is your favorite and why?
‘My Chanel Black velvet handbag but I don’t use it very often as the velvet stains really easily which is a really shame. I will definitely use it more in the spring when it’s not raining!’
What’s the story behind this Céline bag?
‘My husband Quince bought it for me a few years ago for my birthday. It’s the biggest bag I own and really useful for days like this. We are on a tight deadline to finish the new collection so I will go straight to the gym from the office today and then home and chill tonight.’
Do you take good care of your bags or are you careless (as in: do you just dump it in a corner as soon as you get home or do you always use your dust bags)?
‘I’m super careful with them! I keep them all in their original boxes and dust bags and store them in my wardrobe on my “handbag shelf!” I saved for too long for some of these bags to I’m really careful with them to keep them well looked after!’
How did you pack your bag this morning?
‘We are busy finishing up the spring summer 2017 collection this week and I really want to go to the gym to unwind at the end of the day so I packed my gym gear (from the new Daphne Active collection) my trainers and headphones.’
What are some things we will always find if we take a peek in your bag?
‘For sure my wallet, my keys, my phone and some perfume and if I am traveling, definitely a book. I really enjoy reading when I am trailing alone and I always bring my headphones because aI like to watch videos my brother and his wife send me of my nephew. He’s only 1 year old and he’s hilarious. ’
What are a bag’s best qualities?
‘The size. It can almost be a weekend bag id you are just going away for one night, it’s very practical when I am traveling because you can fit so much into it.
What can we still find on your wish list?
‘I would like to get a really great backpack this summer but I haven’t found the right one yet. I saw a nice one online at Pierre Hardy but I want to check it out in real life first. I wouldn’t buy a designer bag online unless I’ve seen it in a store first.’
