For years, I bought into the idea of “luxury”—spending thousands on designer bags that didn’t always live up to the name. Some disappointed me completely, while others became too precious to even use. That made me start asking a bigger question: what if real luxury wasn’t about the logo at all?
In this video, I take you inside that journey and share the bag that challenged everything I thought I knew about craftsmanship, value, and what it means to truly enjoy luxury. Stay until the end—you’ll want to see why this one decision might change the way you look at every bag you buy next.
