Baggy makes real ruffle handbags & NFT bags. Unintuitive lessons from Claire Zhong: That impatience can be a virtue. That what resonates with people wins — and that’s not always correlated with how much time you've put into it. That maximalist designs can be worn by minimalists and grungy people. That you can make a business out of a product that’s not really your style. And while we're at it: hit baggylondon.com with the code ENTREPRENEURIAL15 for 15% off her amazing, colorful, fluffy, fun, maximalist bags.
