Question Which Zucca print should I keep/get rid of?

I am going to be purging my bag collection again soon. Tokis were my first bag love but since then I've moved on. However I wanted to keep one Zucca as a sort of remembrance. I do love the colorful prints. I had before sold off alot of my Tokidokis and just kept these 2 zuccas because it was my favorite style. However I haven't been wearing either of them lately (Probably been a year!) so I figured I should get rid of one of them anyway. I can't bear to get rid of both of them however.

I have the Pirata print which was my first Tokidoki bag.

Or the L'amore print which I love as well. Both are in very good condition so that doesn't really matter. I don't really know which print I like better. It is a hard decision! I figure it doesn't really do me any good to keep both if I don't wear them at all.

Sorry can't advise you as both Lamore and Pirata are my fav prints!!!
I guess if you have to toss one out, keep the one with better print placement, as in all parts of the material design have been used, and key characters not cut off.

^Tough choice still. I like both placements since I had picked them. I just don't see a use to keep both of them or even keeping one of them, although I'd like to just keep one for memories anyway.

my pirata zucca's my fave one. i abuse the hell out of the poor thing.

the lamore is much easier to get dirty... my lamore campeggio has dark denim smudges all over the bottom from my jeans and it makes me so sad. i rarely use it now...

so i say if you MUST part with one... sell the lamore (just because, personally, mine would not stand the test of time lol) and it's worth more, yes?

I'd keep pirata because i love the theme and the characters. AND since it's your first, it's got that extra bit of sentimental value.

Ok thanks for the help girls! :) I decided to keep my pirata! I guess I'll get rid of my l'amore while it is still in excellent condition. After all, the pirata was my first toki

Have you decided how you're going to get rid of the L'amore? Will you be selling it on eBay?
I'd definitely try so hard to win that auction!

Already chucked it. BTW does anyone even know what the retail is for a Zucca? I couldn't remember and was having a hard time finding it. I think it was around 170 but I don't even remember because I had planned on just selling it at BIN. Course it is too late now but I was just interested in knowing what it was.

Retail, according to Tokidoki Blog, is $184. At $167 with 5 days left in your auction...can't even imagine what the final price will be.

Would you have used the retail price for BIN? I would have snatched that up in a second.

loveliane: I don't have the audacity to put it up as over retail. Especially for a used bag. That'd be pretty shameful. I'm surprised it is such a hot item. It has over 20 watchers already. Who would have thought it! I never was planning to sell it but I have a guilt thing, especially if I buy new bags. I picked the characters on it myself too! I loved the sushi, sandy, lattes, and green tea.

That's awesome...you're one of the cooler sellers then! :) I've seen used ones with starting bids wayyyy over retail. All I find are expensive BNWT and slightly used for around the same prices! It honestly sucks, because I've actually been looking for a L'amore Zucca. You'd think the used ones would be cheaper, but nope. I honestly don't know when I'll ever find one.

The green tea and sushi are my favorites on the print too!! L'amore is my favorite print.
