I always felt a sense of power when I walked into an office during my corporate days and put my handbag on a conference table. I felt together, complete. And as I stood up and picked up my bag, shaking hands with mostly men attending that meeting I felt beautiful and accomplished. I was initially uncomfortable carrying a Birkin to a meeting as it could be seen as my flaunting my success. How would my clients take it? But the minute I carried that bag into a business meeting, I felt empowered. I felt successful and I wanted the world to know I was successful. Some people say always look at a man’s shoe to gain insight into his wealth, his power and his taste. I’ve come to understand that one should look at a woman’s handbag for the same insight. Carrying an Hermès Birkin or Kelly or a Chanel classic bag opened doors for me. I got the attention of the Maitre D’s and waiters at restaurants and the sales people in stores. I was perceived as having wealth, power and taste. I was surprised that even if I was wearing jeans, had on no make-up or unwashed hair, I was still projecting that aura of affluence if I was carrying the “right” bag. I felt more empowered and that strengthened my confidence in all aspects of my life. This is Ellite Luxury’s raison d’etre.
