What I Got for My Birthday (Of Course It’s a Bag)
When I started my bag collection, the plan was to get one bag from every fashion house that I like. So far, that has been the case. I’ve always wanted a Celine box but frankly, I don’t like the bag enough to pay 200K for it. No bag is worth that price, in my opinion.… Continue reading

Stuff I Got for My Birthday
Last year, I didn’t celebrate my birthday on the exact date because we had a thing planned the week after. We were supposed to make the drive to the city and the lockdown happened.

2020: The Year in Review
I greeted the year 2020 with optimism because 1) I was about a month pregnant last January and 2) it’s 2020, 20 and 20. To me, that year feels like double in luck, you know? Turns out, the year was very different from what I – we – all expected. The pandemic thing happened and… Continue reading

Life of an Entrepreneur
Selling gemstones online is so fun, it’s a side hustle that really fired up my love for shopping imagination. It’s amazing how much the store has grown. I wish I could offer customization services but that will be the future of the brand. What I didn’t expect is that my store would lead to a… Continue reading

Bag Care and Maintenance: How I Clean My Bags
