Day 3 is Seren Bennett drawstring by Kate Spade. Was going to stay in the small Roxy because I never ended up going out yesterday even though I moved in to it but the weather is nasty out . This one will be much easier to wipe down.

This is cute!!


By the way, in the same vein, remember when I was mulling over selling my useless premier classics? Seeing the chanel lamb with silver earlier reminded me of two I sold (maxi & mini) in 2011 and still regret.
Never again!

Oh no. :(

That's why we shouldn't impulsively get rid of items!

This is my favorite of your longchamps.
I have two! One in navy, and this one in brighter blue.

Which I think is simply called blue lol.

very true - i have several bags in the 'let go' pile and they've been there for several months now, but i'm not pulling the trigger until I know for sure. They're not even premier bags, but i won't be able to replace the style, quality, brand, and cost I bought them for.

I have a couple of bags that I keep contemplating about but they are not replaceable either . They are not premier but very wearable. Going to give them a while longer though. Don't want to have any regrets.

This is why I don't feel bad dithering and futzing over bags for however long before I sell. So far, (knock on wood) I've never regretted a sale. It would be hard to let go of a bag and then realize I wanted it. :sad: Usually by the time I sell I can't wait to see it go. :lol:

Loving all the pics! Bag #2 - adopted this from the back of my mom's closet last year. Is it too boring? I probably have doubt because it was "unwanted," but I really do like how it looks small but fits everything I need including an iPad and umbrella! View attachment 3564107

I cannot put into words how in love I am with this bag. It is simple, classic, and an understated beauty IMO. I can continue to gush if you'd like!!

Thanks Elaine! The sales motivate me to list more. And I'll meet the person at a police station. I read that's the safest for in person transactions from online sales. Thanks for trying to keep me safe!!!

The Mirabeau. <sigh> I like having structured, go to, workhorse bags. In doing my collection purge, those were the first to go and now are the last to replace. So I have an itch. The bag would fit all my things including my new laptop if I get the GM. It's sturdy, has (relatively) undercover branding, looks good arm carry but has an optional strap. It's also (relatively) inexpensive resale. All things I want.

I like the black but it also comes in prune which is sorta burgundy and could check my burgundy workhorse box. Also, it would allow me to have another bag to fit the use of my YSL so both would get regular wear but not get worn out. This kind of reason is why I had purchased the MK Geneva that didn't work out. I wanted two black workhorses to bounce between.

But I don't need it. :doh: I'm not even close to desperate for it. And I could get it a year from now. So no reason to buy now. :sad: And I can likely find a better Bordeaux bag.

The only bag that keeps me up at night is the silver Diorama for which I would gladly trade a kidney and maybe even part of a spleen if I could be assured it wouldn't peel.

I just need to wait. <sad panda face> I don't need it. It's not rare so I don't have to grab the last one now. I think I can get myself to wait by using my list. I'll use a tick for every time I would use the Mirabueau instead of another. If I do get a lot of ticks I'll feel good buying it. But I suspect I won't. I have bags I can use that I love right now.

Here are photos from google. For both colors, I greatly prefer the regular epi not the electric for this bag. View attachment 3563922 View attachment 3563923
Spark,

I think you should get the black for a workhorse as it fits your criteria. We don't necessarily have to love our workhorse. I don't love my new Tom Ford workhorse but I like it. You mentioned great value on resale Market and if it's low enough I would snap it up especially since you have items up for sale.

I have hard rule that I never ever sell Chanel. If you feel uneasy about selling then don't. Nothing worse than rebuying same bag at higher price.

DC,
If your feeling unsure I strongly suggest you wait. You have to be absolutely certain before you let something go.

Thank you! [emoji4]



Oh wow. I love your Bayswater!

I've always wanted one but the weight always concerned me.


I have the silver hw on my black caviar flap because it goes with my stuff better. There was an all black hardware black leather one but it was so popular it sells out quick.

Yes, it is indeed my heaviest bag - no kidding! I have another one made from a lighter leather [emoji6]

This. And Chanel is notorious for severe price hikes.

Which is the lighter leather? Not that I need a Bayswater....
