What are your 5 most used?
This year, I only have 2 bags on my the most used bags list: 1) NF and 2) Chanel mini mainly because life is now hectic and I don't have time to match my outfits with the bags. I'll probably put my caviar card holder up for sale if I'm not reaching it enough. I bought similar coated leather one from Osprey and I really like it since it's less bulky and fit into my mini better. I love the colourful fabric lining. I'll share a pic some day. :amuse:
 
Went to my consignment shop and saw this . It is not mine but I sure wish it was . She said it was Judith Leber . Not sure if That is the spelling. So pretty!
That is adorable!

Finally home for a while now - thank goodness and have a moment to catch up again!
@bellarusa - can't wait to see your new beauty!
@Sparkletastic - those MK sneaks are perfect with your purse!

I deleted my bag usage from last year, y-t-d top contenders are:
LV Lockme Bucket Noir - 14
Hermes Picotin Vibrato - 13
Hermes Vespa - 11
Gucci Padlock Top Handle - 9
Hermes BBK - 7

3 are black (LV, Gucci, H - and is my favorite color in bags), the other 2 are bags that I carry most often in the summer months… but we traveled to warm areas during Jan, Feb and March - which artificially bumps up their usage.

What! You are selling a Neverfull? It is my most used bag in a gm. I would honestly buy it in every colour if they made the gm in colours besides the logo patterns.

My picotin is mostly used in the summer since mine is magnolia. I need a darker colour for winter months. It really is a great bag!

Happy Monday to you all.

Almost pulled the trigger to buy a used Chanel reissue large in black calfleather from overseas over the weekend. Ended up deciding not to do so because it is just so much working trying to pay someone, and not knowing the vendor at all, it just seems - risky (although she has excellent reputation from this forum and other sources).

Which leads me to think - do I really need to buy my Holy Grail bag even when 1) it is available, 2) I have the money for it, and 3) I just been dreaming of owning one? It almost feel like it'd break my heart if it doesn't turned out to be all that magical. Should I at least get it and give it a spin? Would I ever bee the same if it turned out to be a lemon? Disillusioned can be such a hard feeling.
Well here's my two cents, for what it's worth. A wise person once said "The only thing worse than unrequited love is requited love." Or maybe it was "Unrequited love is the only love that lasts." (I'm fuzzy-headed tonight. Spent the morning in the dentist's chair.) At any rate, I think you see where I'm going with this! If you're not one hundred and fifty percent sure that this bag is really, truly, IT... you're probably better off waiting. It sounds as though you're iffy... and that should tell you something. It certainly would be a shame to have your HG arrive, and then be disillusioned.
 
My top 5 most used bags of all time are:
  1. Longchamp Le Pliage Large Shoulder Tote, Gun Metal (on the left in the pic)
  2. Chanel Reissue 226, Black
  3. Hermes Evelyne III PM, Etoupe
  4. Gucci Soho Disco, Black
  5. Chanel Reissue 226, Red

Edited to add - for my Top 5 Bags of 2019, my Chanel Small Coco Lizard Handle, Burgundy and Hermes Bolide 31, Etain would have edged out the Le Pliage and Red Reissue.
Have I mentioned that I'm madly in love with your Red Reissue 26?

Yes, I have. Several times. :girlsigh:
 
My most-used bags 2018 plus the first few months of 2019:
1. Mulberry Bayswater Double-Zip (taupe)
2. Gucci Queen Margaret Shoulder Strap (tan & red)
3. Mulberry Alexa (pheasant green)
4. Marc Jacobs Mini 54 (flame red)
5. Valentino Rockstud (cognac)

Thank you for the suggestion to do this tally, @Sparkletastic ... this turned out to be a bit of a surprise! For one thing, no black bags on the list. I would have thought that my Fendi BTW would have been higher on the list, but nope.

Also, the fact that my Baywater D-Z tops the list. For a few reasons, I think: first, the taupe color goes with absolutely everything, so I can be a bit lazy about carrying it for days at a time. Also, it's very weather-friendly, and therefore perfect in the winter months. Finally, it weighs next to nothing, always a great selling point.
 
What! You are selling a Neverfull? It is my most used bag in a gm. I would honestly buy it in every colour if they made the gm in colours besides the logo patterns.
It is my Chanel caviar card holder which was sort of an impulse purchase and now it is on "consideration pile". I will give it an half year and see if I am reaching it enough. I already have it in lamb which I love and now the Osprey in coated leather fits better into my mini.
