Though I always believed my interest in fashion would remain just a passion, life had other plans. In 2012, I graduated with a degree in Business from Bocconi University in Milan. Shortly after, I embarked on a dynamic career in Marketing, working for fast-growing tech companies across the globe, from Malaysia and Dubai to South Africa and Brazil.
Yet, no matter where my career took me, my passion for luxury handbags continued to grow, as did my collection. In 2019, I took a bold step and turned this passion into a business by founding Missella, a luxury shopping concierge service that helped clients in Brazil access the finest items from European boutiques.

In 2020, after the world changed with the COVID-19 pandemic, my husband and I decided to leave São Paulo and settle in Berlin, where we welcomed our first son, Giorgio. During my maternity leave, my relationship with luxury fashion took on a new dimension. With a reduced budget, I began exploring the world of vintage and pre-loved luxury bags. What started as a way to trade my own bags soon expanded to include those of family and friends. Trading secondhand luxury quickly evolved from a hobby into a full-blown passion, and eventually, it became my profession.
