Let’s indulge in the ultimate fashion fantasy.

For most of us, an impromptu handbag purchase isn’t exactly a casual Tuesday activity. (If it is for you—consider me envious!)
Budgeting and planning go hand in hand with luxury purchases. I’ve made a few spontaneous buys myself—like the time I left Paris with a Bottega Veneta Hop bag I swore I wouldn’t buy. But those indulgences were always within reason.

With handbag prices rising steadily, careful spending has become the norm. Still, I find myself wondering what it would feel like to stumble upon your ultimate dream bag—and have the freedom to buy it without hesitation.
That Sudden Spark
Planning is smart, but there’s something magical about giving in to an impulse. Imagine scrolling your favorite resale site and suddenly—there it is. The one. Wouldn’t you want to pounce?
So just for fun—forget price, forget waitlists. What’s the one bag you’d grab right now, no questions asked?
My Personal Pick
If I could, I’d scoop up a vintage Hermès Kelly Sellier in Box Calf leather, size 25 or 28cm. I used to dream of a Birkin, but over time I’ve realized it’s not my style. A structured, timeless Kelly, though? That’s the one.
I’ve debated between a rich green and a deep burgundy, but right now—burgundy has my heart. I’ve seen it on Kendall Jenner, I’ve seen it in person on NYC sidewalks... it’s haunting me. And if I could, I’d make it mine instantly.
