The face behind Purse Curse
I'm Ghislaine, the founder of Purse Curse. Driven by my passion for vintage designer bags, I help enthusiasts find authentic designer items with a unique story. Every bag and accessory is personally selected and carefully authenticated by me, so you can enjoy your purchase with peace of mind.


My first designer bag
My love for designer handbags began during a special city trip to Paris with my mother and grandmother, where I bought my first Chanel bag. From that moment on, I was hooked. That fascination grew into what I now call the Purse Curse. The irresistible allure of designer handbags, making you want to collect more and more.

From a career in law to entrepreneur in pre-owned designer bags
Due to health reasons, I unfortunately had to end my career as a lawyer. This challenging period set me on a new path. During my search for a new purpose in life, the idea arose to start a pre-owned designer handbag webshop. Purse Curse was born as a place where I can share my passion for vintage designer handbags and where my love for luxury and authenticity comes together.
My mission with Purse Curse
Purse Curse focuses on carefully selected authentic pre-owned designer bags and accessories from luxury brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Gucci and Prada. Browse the collection and discover the world of timeless designer pieces and unique vintage finds. But beware: before you know it, you too will be enchanted by the "Purse Curse".

The vision behind Purse Curse
More than a designer bag
With Purse Curse, I want to offer more than just a webshop for pre-owned designer bags. I want to create a place where you can shop with confidence and enjoy authentic designer items, personal attention, and an exclusive shopping experience.
Authenticity is always paramount. Every designer bag and accessory is carefully inspected, and all designer bags come with an Entrupy authenticity certificate. Transparency, reliability, and quality form the foundation of everything I do.
Additionally, I believe in the power of pre-owned luxury. By giving exceptional designer items a second life, you combine timeless style with a more sustainable choice.
Whether you shop online or visit the showroom in Venlo, I believe it's important that every purchase feels special. From personal contact to luxurious packaging. At Purse Curse, you experience the attention and care that every designer bag deserves.
Welcome to Purse Curse.
