Our Story
We’re Not Perfect, and That’s Okay
Like us, each bag is unique, telling its own story through tiny imperfections. FashioNica's curated selection enables each piece to continue its journey while fostering responsible and sustainable consumption of authentic luxury goods.
Curated with Care
Every piece is handpicked with intention, guided by our community, and curated into a collection shaped by themes, moods, milestones, and seasons. Each drop is purposeful, cohesive, and full of stories waiting to be carried forward.
A Love for the Pre-Loved
From rare vintage gems to newer pre-loved pieces, we believe in giving luxury a second life. These bags carry craftsmanship, character, and stories worth continuing. Choosing pre-loved is a sustainable and a meaningful way to honor the past while embracing a more thoughtful future.
Built on Connection
We’re not just a brand, we’re a community in motion. From Instagram to Whatnot, we show up consistently, not just to share the pieces we’ve sourced, but to connect in real time. Our livestream events styling convos and story-driven drops that feel more like hanging out with your group chat than shopping. Whether you're browsing for fun or on the hunt for the one, you're always part of the fam here.
HOW IT BEGAN
Founder's Story
A Passion Years in the Making
Growing up in a single-parent household with a keen eye for fashion, I found myself frequenting my local thrift shops for hidden treasures, eager to revive and incorporate them into my wardrobe. The thrill of the hunt is in my DNA, which naturally evolved into a passion. After I landed my first corporate job, I finally had a "shopping budget" to invest in higher-quality handbags... Or so I thought.
Building the Brand
It didn’t take long for me to realize that luxury retail prices were still beyond what I felt comfortable spending. It was then that I had a lightbulb moment: why not buy a pre-loved designer bag? Having purchased secondhand items my entire life, it felt like a natural step. At the same time, I realized that not everyone had the time, patience, or experience to find their next authentic designer dream bag, so I made it FashioNica's mission to take the hard work out of the search.
Rooted in Our Beliefs
Today, FashioNica is an collective of meticulously curated pieces sourced from locations worldwide. The curation process is my favorite part, involving the procurement of everything from current classics to ultra-rare vintage pieces. Every item is thoughtfully chosen to reflect current trends and the tastes of our dedicated community, all while staying true to our core philosophy: We won’t stock it if we wouldn’t rock it.
XO,
