My First Bag Collection

Books are my first love. Then anime. Then fashion—ish. I say ish because I’ve never considered myself a fashionista, and I still don’t. I have my style, and that’s that. I love my tutus, and I love anything anime and comic book-related when it comes to fashion. You’ll catch me in an anime t-shirt way more often than anything else.

But when it came to collecting bags? That happened completely by accident.

While my friends were excited about name-brand purses, I was busy looking for bags that spoke to me—ones that repped my love for anime, comics, and Disney. I still remember the exact moment that started it all. I was browsing online one day, and I saw an anime lunch bag. A lunch bag. And I thought, OMG, I’m going to use that as a purse. And I sure did.

That one purchase turned into a full-blown collection. Over the years, I’ve collected various anime, comic book, and Disney character bags. And without fail, every time I go out, at least one person stops me to ask where I got my bag or to tell me how much they love it.

During the holiday season or my birthday, I make it easy for my loved ones—I send out my wishlist with a list of bags I have my eye on. (Because let’s be real, they know I’m getting another one regardless.) And while all my bags are my favorites, there’s one that gets the most attention: My Disney Villains Bag

I got this beauty for my 27th birthday, and let me tell you—people love this bag. It’s got all my favorite villains on it, and the design is just chef’s kiss. Whether I’m at a convention, the grocery store, or just out running errands, someone always asks me about it. And honestly? I love that. My bags aren’t just accessories—they’re conversation starters, little pieces of my personality that I get to carry with me.

My collections are about what I love. And if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that I’ll keep adding to it, one anime, comic book, or Disney bag at a time.
