Aw, TY! I read that most ppl overwater plants, esp house plants, they're generally pretty amiable! I guess every plant has its own preferences...

OMG an exotic plume! That would be amazing.
4 years ago I could have bought an alligator version but bottled out. Don't know why tbh, the reg leather are expensive enough. I guess I liked the colour of mine too much and didn't want to miss out. One day, and hopefully preloved.
This is interesting but having you made the decision you felt better and that is the affirmation of a correct choice.
6 years for many in tPF are good innings and would be pleased if they had a bag for that long. Perhaps to you (like me) six years still feels like new.
4 years ago I sold lots of 'extra' bags, nearly all bought vintage or purchased new in teenage years (I seemed to be really big on beads and embellishment). Boxes full. Now it's getting harder to cull. I have to check constantly that the bag I want is better than or at least different to anything I already have.
Does anyone else carry more often the non favorite bags?
The bags I have no doubt about keeping for ages or forever I find myself not carrying nearly as much as those that I am still on the fence about or still "figuring out" how to best utilize. The question mark bags get all my time and attention and the slam dunk bags get ignored. That's kind of messed up right? Ideally they would all be slam dunks and I would rotate evenly throughout the collection.

This made me think.
The bag I’ve owned the longest, I just purchased 4 years ago. I acquired my newest bag last August. None of my bags feel “new”. Maybe because I rotate so much and wear all of them quite a bit? Or maybe I lose that “new” feeling faster than other people?
Thinking about this, I realized, I’m ok with them not feeling new. I just need to feel excited about using a bag because it still fits my style, I still think it’s pretty and I haven’t worn it so much that I’m sick of it. (LOL!) The bag I’ve owned the longest is my Monika Chiang Black Pony Hair Bucket. It also happens to be my least expensive bag. I still love this bag because the pony hair and bucket style makes it very interesting and fun to wear.
But, I’m so done with flipping. I can’t bear to fall out of love with anything else and end up selling. It’s such a pain! So, I have zealously adopted your rule that anything new has to either be better than what I have OR as good as what I have but different in use or look from what I currently have.
I used to do this when I was still aggressively redoing my collection. I think it kinda makes sense. We have to figure out what to do with these “almost” bags.
Now, at the back end of the process, I use my favorite bags the most. I had to make sure they were also the most functional so I didn’t get pretty baubles that just sat on the shelf.

Finally got into my lesser used Chanel tote! I’m traveling for 3 days and managed to scrunch everything inside. LOL! That means I only have the one pair of shoes I’m wearing and this one bag. But it’s a causal trip to see family. And, I can’t wear heels for a few more weeks because of my broken toe / preop knee / bone spur toe. LOL! So it’s ok!
This did make me crave a good black tote though. Thanks to @ksuromax for giving me a pm heads up on a potential candidate.
