As a teen, I found myself searching for hidden treasures at my local thrift shops that I could revive & incorporate into my closet. The thrill of the hunt is in my DNA so naturally it easily became a passion of mine. Fast forward to adulthood, I got my first big girl job in corporate America. I was now able to spend a little more on nicer things & I saw a few of my friends were buying designer bags. Wanting to do the same, I realized the retail prices for designer bags are still more than I felt comfortable spending. Then it hit me, why don't I buy a used one? Since then, I frequent my local consignment shops more often than I like to admit. Even when the shops are closed, you can find me hunting online for a vintage Chanel bag at 3am. When FashioNica came to fruition, it was almost "perfectenshlag" (cue "The Office" fans). My small business is an archive of curated bags I'd wear myself that I've sourced and helped bring back to life for someone new to enjoy.
