After two years of constantly spotting bags I liked – not loved – I found one that gave me butterflies. It usually takes me a couple of months filled with doubt before I pull the trigger on big guns like these and then when I am finally ready, they are mostly gone. This time I decided it was now or never, even though I was doubting for a little tiny second (about the color, not the bag itself).
At first I was twirling around in front of the mirror with the leopard version of this Side Lock bag, but then the shop assistent showed me this ‘rust’ version – as they call this color over at Céline – and I thought that would be more me and a bit more versatile.
You see, the leopard was super cool (and I would have loved to take them both), but I feel like this one I will love eternally. And where the pony hair of the leopard version would probably come off after a while of rubbing against my side, this burgundy (yes, it is rust, I would say it is burgundy) friend will only get prettier by using it.
The shape of the bag is super classy, but the color and that side lock make it fun.
I will show you the rest of my (smaller) purchases from Paris in a bit (or in a few days…)!
