MELI SSA SIN
Founder of The Bag Atelier gives us insight into her glamorous style and how it has shaped her vivacious personality
SOURCES OF INSPIRATION
“I find inspiration through my experiences. It could be immersing myself into a different culture while I travel, meeting people at socials or even for business. I must say inspiration can be anything or anywhere; and at times, I sketch the ideas to create pieces for The Bag Atelier.”
ESSENTIALSIN-BAG
“I never leave the house without my Tarte Matte Nude lippie, my Frency and Mercury violet shades and Lucas Papaw.”
FAVOURITE FASHION ICON
“I’m floored by Victoria Beckham and how much she has achieved. It’s not just the fashion aspect that I love about her, but I relate to her personally, because while I was searching for my identity, she was also searching for herself, except under public scrutiny!”
KEY SOURCE OF STRENGTH
“I work very closely with my family and a lot of the time, I count on them for strength, support and guidance. With family, it’s genuine and honest (sometimes confronting too!)”
BIGGEST ‘STAYER’ OF THE SEASON
“Summer bling and wristfinger stacks are back in trend and here to stay. Stacking accessories from rings to cuffs and necklaces, plus mixing gold and silver pieces with diamanté, will run through all the way to winter!”
“BEING OPEN-MINDED BRINGS FRESH PERSPECTIVES FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING. I ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT CONFIDENCE IS THE BEST MEDICINE TO CONQUER FEAR—FEAR IS RESISTANCE, AND CONFIDENCE THE ANTIDOTE!”
