Favourite item: Chanel bag
“It’s very hard for me to choose just one piece, because I’m lucky to have a few pieces that I love and that have a big sentimental value attached. But because I love bags since I’m a little girl, I will say that my Chanel bag is just my favourite one from my whole collection. It also has a real sentimental value to me, because it was a birthday gift from my husband, when we went on a family trip to Denmark, what makes it even more special, plus was my very first Chanel bag.”
João Oliveira Simões – Co-founder and Designer of the App
“Playing guitar has always been one of my passions and this is definitely one of my favourite instruments. I love jamming with my kids during the weekends. I even have a guitar in my office!”
