Around 2020, I was newly married and looking for something I could build from home while still contributing to our family. Working for myself wasn’t new to me. I had spent years in sales and even wholesaled cars. I knew how to sell — I just had no idea handbags were about to become my next chapter. VaultedVIP didn’t start with a business plan and a perfectly polished idea. It grew piece by piece, customer by customer, and handbag by handbag into something bigger than we ever expected. There were a few helping hands, a lot of missed sleep, more packing tape than anyone should probably admit, and plenty of figuring it out as we went.
