We're in the business of selling pleasure. We don't sell handbags or haute couture. We sell dreams.

I collect a lot of eco-friendly shopping bags that serve to separate my shoes other and other small stuff in my luggage.

Though I'm a fashion designer, I never stuff my luggage with too many items.

When a celebrity is spotted carrying a particular bag, everybody wants to own the same thing.

I love bags, and little bags within bags. Everything is contained.

Yes, I sell people things they don't need. I can't, however, sell them something they don't want. Even with advertising. Even if I were of a mind to.

Actually, I never liked the idea of bags. I would say, 'Why do so many of my friends spend so much money on these bloody bags?' But once I started designing them, I was completely hooked. There are all of these blogs about bags. It's a whole other industry, and I'm really excited to be a part of it.

I carry my own food around on tour; I permanently have carrier bags full of cereal and bananas.

One of my big pet peeves is single-use plastic bags. I think it's one of the stupidest ideas in the world.

When I take on a design project, I have to jet from the bookstore to the hardware shop to the lamp store and back again just to collect a small portion of the many items I need to fill a home. But, when you hit the flea market, they're all right there. From booth to booth, you have the bases covered.
