my most frequently used bags.
Freja New York is founded by my dear friend Jenny, who reached out to me a year ago wanting to design a bag together with me. Clueless about how designing a bag works, I send over a sketch of a classy everyday shoulder bag. And just like that, the Caroline Bag is born.
It comes in two beautiful colors - oat and black. I’m particularly in love with the oat one as it’s so versatile, soft, and chic. And it’s the perfect size for daily outings.
Everything from Freja New York is made out of high quality vegan leather, meaning they are environmentally friendly and easy to take care of.

The first time I ever saw the Prada Cleo Bag in real life was when I was still living in LA a year ago, waiting to get inside the beautiful Stahl House. I turned around and saw a woman wearing the Cleo Bag in white. It instantly took my breath away. It was love at first sight.
Last year in November, I was wondering around in the city with a friend. And I saw Cleo again - my dream bag sitting so pretty on Prada’s shelf in Saks Fifth Avenue. I instantly knew that I’d be taking her home with me.
This is the first ever design bag that I purchased new and first-handed, thus it has an extra layer of special meaning to me. It’s the perfect bag for going out for brunch with friends, for going out to dinner, for exploring the city.
Cleo is a city girl, as am I.

ELLEME is a Paris based ready-to-wear brand that offers contemporary and timeless design, high quality, and refined tailoring.
I received this bag from HBX as a gift, and have been in love with it since.
I love the length of this bag’s shoulder strap - it can be perfectly tucked underneath my arm. And the volume of this bag is surprisingly generous, it fits everything I need on the daily basis and more. The design is clean and simple, yet unique and modern.

COS has been my one of my favorite brands since college. It’s classy, minimal, modern, and chic. Yet everything has some special elements so that you know they are from COS. It’s the best place to buy quality pieces with fair prices.
I was thrilled when the COS team reached out to me for a campaign, and I received this bag as one of the gifts. In all honesty, I never really enjoyed bags other than cute and small shoulder bags, but this one definitely won me over.
It’s easy and simple - no separate compartments inside the bag. It fits a LOT - touchups, a notebook, an iPad, basically everything need for getting some work done at a local cafe. It has the perfect shoulder strap length - not too long, not too short.
