Default Large Croc Tribute . .do you still use it? debating on selling
Hi everyone,

So I own a large croc tribute bag . . but as of late have been contemplating on selling it. I feel like the functionality of it is why I've kept it for so long. It's my only really oversized bag so it comes in handy when I need to stuff a lot into it or even put my laptop into it. It's also patent, so I can use it when the weather is bad. However, sometimes i just feel like it screams 'look at me' and quite busy. I mean afterall it is patent, large, and croc embossed. The good thing is i'm a fairly classic dresser, so it works well most of the time. Especially to jazz up all black outfits. I do feel like the fact it wears so well is a huge pro - but I'm not sure its the bag I want to reach for all the time. You know? So my question to you is for those who own one, do you still use it? if so how often? does the bag itself seem a bit dated now? or is it somewhat classic? (although . . ysl did discontinue it, lol). I'm really torn about it, and need some input please!

Thanks!

:)

My opinion, it is a classic and you have one... hang onto it. It is black, patent and a simple design, it will not outdate. Anyways, eBay and other auction sites are flooded with them. Several of the YSL Outlets still have them as well....

My vote: Keep.

if you don't need the money...keep it. right now it's hard to sell anything on ebay. it's good time to look for deals but bad time to sell.

I LOVE mine and would never part with it. I think it's a classic style and material and you should keep it!

I love the croc tribute but haven't used mine (and ended up selling it). It is a lovely bag, and I agree it's a classic. But I have a black downtown and a black muse and the tribute just didn't make it through my bag rotation.

If this is your only big bag, I would definitely keep it.
