Even though it is only February I'm already thinking about my summer vacation and plan on visiting the Tassen Museum in Amsterdam.
The museum has over 3500 handbags ranging from the 1500s to present.
The collection was started by Hendrikje Ivo who started collecting over 30 years ago and turned her passion into a museum.
