“BIG SISTER ESSENTIALS”
The Telfar bag, owned by my older sister, is the centerpiece of my story. This particular bag, designed by a renowned Black designer, holds a special place in my heart due to its rich history. Growing up, I would watch in awe as my sister prepared for her parties, her bag lying on the bed, soon to be filled with what I dubbed “big sister essentials” – items like lip gloss and perfumes. These essentials are featured in the photo I took, aiming to encapsulate the cherished memories of both her and my rituals of getting ready, a favorite moment that has stayed with me into adulthood.
