HOW IT STARTED
Founder's Journey
MEET YOUR BAG DROPPER
Rooted in Fashion
Born and raised in Milan, fashion has always been a part of my life. Growing up in the heart of Italy’s fashion capital, I was surrounded by style and luxury from an early age. My love for fashion, especially luxury handbags, was sparked when my mother bought me my first designer bag—a Prada 2000 nylon bag from the iconic store on Via Montenapoleone—for my birthday. That bag wasn’t just an accessory; it was the beginning of a lifelong passion.
SOMETHING ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Francesca!
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.
FROM PASSION TO PROFESSION
Exploring Pre-Loved Luxury
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.
