7 Years, 7 Bags: A life carried in style
As KAAI celebrates another milestone, Rebecca, one of our long-standing KAAIwomen, shared her journey with us. Her experience shows how the right bag doesn’t just fit your style - it grows into a trusted part of your everyday story.
Your first KAAI... how did it make you feel?
My first KAAI felt like a reward to myself. After hesitating for so long, I finally chose my Pyramid, and walking out of the boutique in Antwerp that day was pure joy. It marked the start of a bag that would stay with me through some of my biggest milestones.
What KAAI memory always makes you smile?
Gifting the Men’s Bowler to my husband when he became a specialist eye surgeon is a memory I’ll never forget. It felt like celebrating his milestone the same way I celebrated mine with my first KAAI.
If your KAAI bag could talk, what stories would it tell about you?
It would probably say: “Good thing you have me to keep you organised in the middle of all your beautiful chaos.”
How would you describe the KAAIwoman in three words?
Empowered - stylish - organized
What’s the most unexpected place your KAAI bag has traveled with you?
Soon, it’ll be Southeast of Asia! My husband and I are heading off for three months of traveling through Indonesia, Vietnam, and Thailand. And of course, my Ikon Belt Bag is coming with me.
What role does a great handbag play in your everyday life?
The slogan ‘carry your life’ feels made for me. Moving between my office and the university can be chaotic, and I used to need two bags just to fit everything. Now, my KAAI bag holds it all, and I always have exactly what I need with me.
What does being part of the KAAIwomen community mean to you?
It’s like being part of a community where women genuinely celebrate each other’s goals. There’s constant encouragement, inspiration, and a deep sense of belonging.
