What kind of bag do you like carrying?
I like to carry a bag with enough space to be my "through a full hectic day" partner.
How do you prefer carrying your bag? (As a shoulder bag, as a handbag…)
It completely depends on the look I am wearing.
Do you usually fill your bag or carry only what is necessary?
Let’s say that the necessary for me is also the unexpected. I tend to carry way more than what I actually need. But I say to myself, with two girls and a dynamic job, you never know!
Are you tidy or chaotic?
I have a very tidy way of being chaotic.
How do you choose the right bag to travel?
The right bag to travel with is the one with an easy strap over the chest. The one, that even if it’s full, you can still close. When you almost don’t realize it’s there and your two arms are free!
What items are essentially in your bag?
iPhone, keys, an extra charger, Kindle to read, agenda, pen, makeup, napkins, mints, cigarettes, lighter, wallet.
Do you like to change or are you faithful to one bag?
Of course I'd love to change, but I can stick to a classic bag for over a season.
When choosing a bag, which features do you pay attention to?
The look of it. It’s always about how pretty it is and how much I like it.
Could you please tell us an anecdote attached to one particular bag?
I have a cute mini Chanel bag that can only fit keys, my iPhone and cigarettes if I’m lucky.
So even if it’s an evening bag, I use it during the day carrying a second bag for all the other things I need to take with me. I just can’t resist it!
What do you like the most about the Baret bag?
Many things! I love the material, the color, the different straps to carry the bag.
I love the fact that my name is on it!
Jeanne Baret, a woman who disguised herself as a man in order to travel the world, inspired this bag. Do you somehow identify yourself with her?
Well, the only thing that I wanted to do as a child was to travel the world and to have new adventures every day. I am lucky that my job allows me to do so, and after eighteen years of last minute trips, shootings abroad and fashion weeks I still want more. I'd love to see the whole world. So in some ways yes, I completely identify myself with her.
