2019 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

[lynne_ross]

My bag finally sold to a lovely lady. Now I only have two light blue totes instead of three. I have listed a bunch of bags in a group and then this weekend added a photo of small wallets and purse charms that if they bought a bag over a certain amount they could choose one of the goodies as a prize. All the items were in new condition so at least one bag sold and a wallet was chosen. So that means I get to count an slg out too.

Yay! 2 out!

The “prize” is a great idea. Kind of like “gift with purchase!”

My multicolored collection! I'm such a sucker for color and cool colorblocked! The last two bags I want to add to my collection are both going to be colorblocked.

But as of now, the first is the queen of my multicolors, Loewe Amazona.

Next is this awesome Massaccesi bag that's metallic on one side, and a cheery orange-y red on the other.

Last are bags from my younger days, before I really knew about designers and just liked fun things. The first is from a Korean brand, Sonovi, which was a really sweet souvenir from a trip to Korea. The next is from British brand, Irregular Choice, and really special from when I studied in London. I spent like an hour in the store so excited by all the crazy colors haha. The last two are from Brighton, the first was a treat after a summer job when I was a teenager, and the second is so teeny tiny and cute and was at the outlet for like $30!

OMG! I love so many of these. I hate I never got that bag from Massaccesi. It’s so beautiful!

And I love your fun graphic bags. Great multi colored collection!

I’m really struggling on sales. I’ve sold household stuff - an old TV, a side cabinet, etc. Just no wardrobe items. I’ve listed shoes, jewelry, clothes and bags. I’ve dropped the price to very reasonable levels. Nada.

One person offered me $1500 for my Chanel flap - about $1000 less than it will ultimately we’ll for (based on other solids) and $2400 less than it was new. This is AFTER they asked for additional pics to authenticate. I forgot to invoke my new rule. No additional effort on my part until we agree on a price.

Actually I wrote gift with purchase.

These are such fun bags! Your Loewe Amazona makes me happy just looking at it. And the Massaccesi bag is great because it has a "split personality" ... was it a special order?

These are great bags Elaine! I was intrigued by the Nina Ricci, great shape.

I like the shape of the Nina Ricci, but the strap is waaaay too long. Even when I carry it cross body, if I turn suddenly, the bag swings around and hits me in the tush. So I find myself looking for excuses to carry other bags.

I'm considering taking it in to my (very talented) leather shop to be shortened, since I'd never get anything for it if I were to try & sell it.

Great news! So one bag out, and one SLG out, too!!!

Actually I sold an slg too . So one bag and two slgs out. I am going to an Mz Wallace meet up this month so I will probably have one more in too. Whoops! Hopefully some stuff at the consignment shop will go so will still be down.

Thank you all for the love for my collection!!!

All Massaccesi bags are special orders!! You can customize his bags pretty much endlessly, which is awesome!!

I like the shape of the Nina Ricci, but the strap is waaaay too long. Even when I carry it cross body, if I turn suddenly, the bag swings around and hits me in the tush. So I find myself looking for excuses to carry other bags.

This would drive me nuts!! I'm a bit of a snob about it, but I very firmly believe that crossbody bags should be hip length!

That Loewe Amazona is . I love this bag and it looks so fun in those colors.

I know, the Amazona shape is so classic, but this pattern makes it sufficiently funky to suit my taste! I was a limited edition edition cherry blossom release from 2011 I got it from a reseller from Japan, and my mom (who is much more picky than I am) says it's one of the only secondhand bag of mine she actually likes. Most of the time she asks me what on earth I was thinking when I buy my bags used

My mom and I share bags (I have not been sharing her collection for our color weeks, since that's her right to privacy), and I'm really going to miss accessing her far superior collection. I live close to home and see my family every week (we're very tight-knit), so it'll be a real bummer when I go to school for the both of us to have to lose "half" of our collection My parents are very sad to see me go in general haha!

Same! Have someone picking up cabinets Wed. Sold so much baby stuff. But my bags, jewelry and sunglasses are not budging.
Oh yeah no extra work until price is agreed!

Congrats on all the sales. Anything out is a good thing.

For those of you that sell your old / unwanted items, what do you use the funds for? I used to use the proceeds of handbag sales to fund new bags but, I don’t sell enough handbags to fund new bags anymore.

But, when I sell things it still feels like fun found money.
