I am sure there is nothing wrong with preloved I just do not feel confident in doing it. Did you get the camphor smell out?

I think I did, but so far it smells like the laundry detergent. I have had this problem before, bought used bag and had to resell it because the odor seemed to stick and I could not stand it. I smelled it every time I opened the bag.


Thank you all for LP love!!!


I apologize not quoting you all separately, the thread is moving extremely fast, but I love to see all your bags and storing ideas.
My bags are stuffed, in dust bags and each in paper shopping bag, stored on upper shelf of my closet. Bags are labeled but I would like to have better system. As I can't really see the bags, it's very easy to forget them. Remember how I "found" two MJ bags last year. This should not happen.

I have a confession to make. It's just day 5 of the new year and I've already made my first purchase. I said up to 3 purchases only this year, so that just leaves 2 more for 360 days!

I bought a Rebecca Minkoff Nikki in Leaf (green) on ebay today. Well, I actually said no more RMs for a while since I'm already downsizing my huge collection. But this is a color I've wanted a long time and I rarely see this put up for sale, in fact, I only saw it once or 2x in ebay in 1 1/2 years that I was regularly looking. I think this was released around 2009. I got an unused one and I hope it is really in good condition as the seller said. I actually passed up on this listing towards the end of December. But it was relisted, and there, no more holding back! I'm so weak. ;)

It's ok! You can definitely do 2 bags for the rest of the year! I have a big soft spot for RM and sometimes I find myself searching ebay for those older RM bags and they are definitely getting harder and harder to find! My HG RM bag would be the BBW MAM with fuchsia zip track and either silver or gunmetal hardware. I've looked on and off and have only seen one in the past year and a half or so. It's definitely best to snag those when they are available! :smile1:

Quick grocery store run with my Linea Pelle wristlet wallet, perfect color for gray, ugly weather and great size, even my phone fits in there.
Happy Sunday!

This is the cutest! I'm not going to lie, after I saw this, I started looking at the LP website, amazon, and ebay for one. The problem is is that I've had one in black with gunmetal and sold it! Ugh! :noggin: The pink is so much prettier though!

Thank you all so much for the compliments on my new pup! He's definitely my new baby! :hbeat:

This week I'm carrying my LV Artsy. I'm obsessed with this bag. I love the lining and the 6 slip pockets! ImageUploadedByPurseForum1420510415.915943.jpg

I did list 2 bags for sale, last night. May or may not sell of course, but it felt good to make a decision. Bags I like, but rarely use. They deserve to go to someone who will use them! Thanks, thedseer and others for your posts on selling bags. Gave me the nudge I needed to list these!

That's great! Good luck with your sales. This thread is very motivating. I have a few bags I've been debating about for a while - also bags that I like but rarely use. I need to just go ahead and list these...even though I like them, they must not be working for me in some way since I don't use them.

Do you know if RM has discontinued the MAB and MAM line? They aren't on the website anymore. I only have one--the basket weave MAM with purple zipper track, made in NYC. I always thought it was one of her best, most classic styles. I hope it isn't gone forever.

Thank you!
I know the feeling so well. I am embarrassed to admit that I repurchased a Fossil wallet I sold some time ago. But Linea Pelle seems to have a sale on Dylan line quite often, there might still be done on 6pm. I apologize for enabling.

These are the kinds of things that I try to stop and figure out exactly what the issue is before I make any decisions about getting rid of it. I do this with clothes too. Why do I not use it? Too big? Too small? Too heavy? Not sure what to wear it with? (This is a common one for me) Not practical? Takes too much babying? Sometimes just working through what the issue really is can help me get it into rotation or confirm that yeah, this isn't going to work and I need to let it go.

Good luck!

For those of you who followed this thread last year; you may remember I posted a couple of vintage Coach bags; one is even made in Italy. I had not used this bag at all in 2014; had not even put it in my Stylebook app. Was planning on selling it, but saw that others had sold, but for very low prices! So I put it in my Stylebook closet and will see if I use it much before I make a final decision. This is really a hard bag to read the creed on ... made in USA!

I had a rough day today at work and after. I headed back to the gym for the umpteenth time after a break and caught a look at myself in a mirror. I'm very unhappy about all of the weight I have put on recently. But I got on a treadmill, did my best, stuck with my diet, and, most importantly for this thread, I didn't buy anything.

When I am sad, lonely, stressed, depressed, I am getting better at recognizing that buying something won't help in the end.

Thanks, and great point. I don't actually know why I don't carry these few-will have to consider.
