Lynch also emphasized that she is not particularly drawn to designer fashion. She only owns one Gucci purse, which she purchased for usefulness rather than for status or style. Despite owning this item, she noted it has been heavily worn and used over the years, signifying her practical approach to belongings.
What do I need? Like, I’m not like, I’m not a designer person, you know? I have, like, a Gucci purse. I bought it for practicality, but it’s, like, worn to the ground, Like, it’s in bits, you know? I don’t care about any of that stuff. You know what I mean? Not a big baller.

No. When we go away, we like something a bit nice, you know? But we just don’t go away very often.
