Question for everyone! :smile: What is your most used bag so far this year?

I'm floored to see that mine is my LV Lockme II BB. But, it makes sense because sometimes I change into it after the workday to run around for errands, etc. I feel better now about the price for such a little bag. I've already worn it 21 times this year.

My second most used is my black patent Chanel Jumbo with 12 wears.

So what's yours? Any surprises? Do you think you need to rotate more or are you happy with how things are going with your use of your collection?

It was my Mz Wallace small Roxy. I have been really good about rotating my bags this year and ticking off wears.

My most used would probably be my Evelyne - it's so easy and doesn't mind rain.
When I read posts about people not using their bags, I always wonder what exactly they're saving them for? I can understand something not working out, but I can't understand what makes anyone keep choosing to wear what theyre not bothered about over something they love?

I have a bag I don't wear because it's more a souvenir to me than a easy to use bag.
The buckle is hard to do with one hand, especially with my hand being messed up. The chain it came with is much too heavy.

But it's freaking adorable and it is a remembrance from my first trip to the UK. I can't part with it.

ETA:
I also have a super huge Bally bag that it's better just holding stuff than carrying it around. So if I am going to a thing where I know I'll be sitting somewhere, and I have to carry a lot, that is the only time I'll carry that bag. So traveling, beaches, parks.

I used to be afraid and only wore my favorites rarely as I wanted them to last and stay pristine. Then some one suggested wearing only my favorites no matter where I went for a weekend and I got over it. Now I happily rotate through all my bags. If one doesn't work for me anymore I get rid of it unless it was a gift then I wait a year let them see me wearing it and then get rid of it.

Oh yeah!!
I wanted to keep my one Chanel and Hermes pristine.
When I got color transfer on my Evelyne, my first H and also from a UK trip, I was so sad.

But when it came off when I cleaned it, I kind of got over it. Same with the first scuff on the Chanel, which was luckily on the bottom.

ETA: So fear of getting it messed up also contributes to me carrying a bag over another one. I just need to get over it. lol

Those are a couple of examples of what I mean by things not working out, which is a little different from just not using a bag to keep it "like new"

Oops! I need more coffee. For keeping things "like new"
I sometimes don't want to take the pieces with vachetta on them too, because I like the color they are at a certain point. haha.
For monogram, I like them looking a little patinaed. But for the DA pieces, I want them to look lighter, and carrying my DA Speedy is hard because I don't want it to patina too much. So I'd carry the non vachetta trim bags. Or my LPs, which is why they have such low CPW and I have to get myself to wear these bags.

Inspired by @bakeacookie 's post above i have an idea
shall we do a "souvenir" weekend? Or a few??
Post your bag and tell her story, any bag with a story, funny, sentimental, romantic, etc....
why weekend? Because it might take time to pull the bag out, take snaps, write a bit longer post to tell the story....
what do you think?

yes!!
omg I can't wait to see!! I know so many people get to travel often and must bring home fantastic pieces!
