There are few things that make me giddy like a schoolgirl, but Chanel is one of them! I remember being in my early 20s dreaming of one day being able to buy my first luxury handbag. To a young girl in the 90s, that was a symbol of success and a sign that you’ve finally made it!
To truly understand my love for fashion, it’s essential to delve into my childhood. Growing up in a modest Iowa town, our shopping excursions were limited to three special occasions: Christmas, birthdays, and back-to-school. The rest of the time, we had to make do with a small budget, making every clothing purchase count. While other girls at my junior high flaunted designer labels like Guess Jeans, Esprit, and Benetton, I admired from afar. My longing for stylish clothing led me to cover my bedroom walls with cutouts from fashion magazines, dreaming of a future in the industry. Despite the unlikelihood of a small-town Iowa kid breaking into the fashion world, I clung to the dream of one day working in Los Angeles. It wasn’t until junior year of high school that I finally saved up enough money to splurge on a pair of Guess jeans, priced at a hefty $60, worth every cent, marking a pivotal moment in my fashion journey.
I decided to give college a shot, but let’s face it, I was bored out of my mind. All I really wanted was to work at a clothing store in the mall. I mean, who needs calculus when you can fold T-shirts, right? My best friend and I both applied for a job at this store called Vanity. I was dead set on getting that job because, come on, I practically had a PhD in shopping. I shopped so much that I even skipped a few classes to make sure I had the perfect outfit for a night out. Repeat an outfit? Absolutely not! Now, you might be wondering how a broke college student managed this fabulous lifestyle. Well, I’ll let you in on the secret: I became the proud owner of 8 shiny new credit cards. I remember thinking, “Wow, I can shop to my heart’s content and only pay $10 a month!” Ah, the naivety of youth. To this day, the mystery of why anyone would give 8 credit cards to a jobless college kid remains unsolved. My parents were definitely not impressed – to put it mildly!
My BFF got my dream job, and it stung! I was absolutely heartbroken. She didn’t even shop like I did (she was responsible), so how on earth could they choose her? From that instant, I was determined to secure my very first job at a clothing store!
A couple of years later, I was offered my first job at Express. I was over the moon! Everything was absolutely amazing; it felt like heaven on earth to me. I dedicated my early 20s to working tirelessly, relocating to different states for the next promotion, and subsequently working for several distinct clothing brands: Contempo Casuals (if you know, you know), Rampage, and a couple of others. In 2004, I secured my dream job at Guess in Los Angeles – a moment of pure fulfillment. That’s when I truly felt like I had achieved my goals – there’s so much more to share about that incredible journey that will come in a future article.
I was ready to purchase my first luxury bag. I entered the Gucci store and was instantly captivated by the sheer beauty that surrounded me. In that moment, I laid eyes on my very first monogram bag – the exquisite white Joy Boston Bag, and it took my breath away.

When I held that bag, I felt like I was strutting down a glamorous runway. There’s just something about a luxurious handbag that exudes elegance and confidence, no matter the outfit. That pristine white Gucci was my companion for so long, and every time I carried it, I felt like a million bucks!
So, with all of that said, you can only imagine my overwhelming excitement when I stumbled upon a treasure trove of pre-loved luxury handbags on Amazon.
