I know this may sound ludicrous, but it took me some years to mature to the decision to buy a red handbag. Although I have dreamt of adding a red beauty to my collection, I was not entirely convinced if I had enough attitude to pull it off and whether I could actually find anything in my closet to coordinate with such as daring, statement accessory. Yes, I am aware that those who have seen the size of my wardrobe might beg to differ… On top of that, I like to make a good use out of my bags to justify the small fortune usually spent on them and in the case of a red bag, I was dubious that I would be receiving much value for money. Not mentioning that the idea of confining an exquisite fashion item to life in a box for it to never see the light of day seems positively cruel 😉.
So I waited and waited and, eventually, when I could wait no longer I tasked one of my nearest and dearest with going to a boutique and purchasing one for me. That is, in case I was hit with a new wave of doubts, again. To be sure that I was definitely going to love what I saw, I opted for a design I was already familiar with, the ever so chic Serpenti Forever bag from Bvlgari. And so my journey with the crimson accessory began.
