CC 150: The functional Collector Favoring Polene

In today’s installment of closet Confessionals, we meet a collector in their late twenties who loves bags but has a pretty functional attitude towards them. CC 150 began their collecting journey just before university when their mommy passed down a Louis Vuitton Neverfull. From there, CC 150’s collection has grown to include a few other Louis Vuitton bags, with the palm Springs tiny being sentimental thanks to when it was purchased.

Despite a penchant for Louis Vuitton, CC 150 favors Polene thanks to its stylish, quality bags that fly a bit under the radar. This confessor is also a fan of pre-loved bags, having snagged a Chanel Jumbo Flap from the secondary market. also realizing the value of the resale market as a way to sell off bags, CC 150 has reached a point in their journey where shopping isn’t seen as a problem. Bag purchases are well thought out and budgeted for at this point in CC 150’s life. read the full CC below and don’t forget to submit your own!
