Would You Rather Have a $3,000 Closet Trophy or a $500 Everyday Luxury? | STOW London

For years, I bought into the idea of “luxury”—spending thousands on designer bags that didn’t always live up to the name.

In this video, I take you inside that journey and share the bag that challenged everything I thought I knew about craftsmanship, value, and what it means to truly enjoy luxury.
