Today we’re heading to LaLa land, to chat with a tech executive who’s been collecting designer bags since she was 17. Like many of us, her very first bag was a Louis Vuitton Speedy 25, which she got in Paris—what a dream! Still, CC 276 doesn’t attach much sentimental value to her belongings and believes…

A handful of years back, I reached a point in my life that genuinely shocked me—I was just not all that excited about bags anymore. Very few new bags enticed me to want to spend my hard-earned money on them, and I was reaching a point of bag fatigue, where the bags I owned were…
