Hello everyone :wave:

Sorry to be MIA. I’m lurking and liking :giggle:

I’m currently on holiday so I’m missing all of my bags. The only bags with me are my Longchamp pliage and Diorever WOC. Here are some pictures.

I’m not really doing any of the challenges; since I got my YSL Envelope all of my rotation attempts have failed. I love it, and it’s all I carry for the work week. I’m hoping I get bored of it soon and start to rotate, but right now it would be too hard to fight it :lol:
Beautiful pics!

April stats:
  • 1 bag out
  • No bags or SLG’s in (I’m not interested in anything right now.)
  • 4 handbags and several items of jewelry to sell
  • Every household / furniture / office item I listed went super quickly! Whoop!
I’m continuing to review everything we own to exit everything that can/should go. If it doubt, it’s going out. Nothing extra. Nothing sub-optimized.

What I’ve already listed will stay listed for now. But, going forward, I’ve decided to donate / gift anything worth $500 or less. I used to have some measure of fun selling - it was almost a hobby. But, I’m sooooooo over that now. :blah:
Where I live I actually find it easier to sell stuff super cheap - like baby items for $10. Then to try to find a place to donate since the hours for drop off while be during my office hours, or far out of city, or the items must be perfect. I just take a pic, list really cheap and only allow pick up someone is home (or do porch pick up if not raining). About half the time I give it for free anyways when person shows up - as long as they are on time and polite! It makes me feel good the items are being used and not directly in trash.
 
I have never had anything go so quick. I dropped the bag off this morning. She had customers so I didn’t stay long. Tonight I checked just to see if she had listed it yet and it was already sold. It took the other one a few months to go. It is so weird. I always try to hold the space open in my closet for the bags I give her in case they don’t sell and come back.
That was fast! Was it the Neverfull?
Luckily it is May since I just bought a bag! Got luckily in Hermes Paris!! Will post details later. Off to do more shopping since last day and I need to get some gifts.
Can’t wait to see!!

I bought a bag (Longchamp Le Pliage Club) on April 30, last day of my trip. I would have had a no bag in April if that didn’t happen. [emoji16]
 
When we moved to USA I refused to ship my hermes bags - even though they would be insured, too much of pain to replace. So I literally nested them inside each other to look like one bag and had my mom, DH and me carry 3 each n plane. Then I brought remaining ones over on later trips. I think my mom rolled her eyes way too many times that trip.
It is a good question. I do not downsize since we have a large house with lots of space (including large walk-in closet). If we ever moved some place with limited space (we are always toying with idea of moving to Hong Kong) I would definitely consider downsizing since I hate clutter! So I guess space would be my limitation. I would not store bags for an extended period of time.
What are you planning on doing?
Luckily my new place seems to have a decent walk-in closet!! And my DBF and family have very kindly volunteered to help me move, so between all of us I should be able to bring everything I want to ring. I think I may leave the sentimental, lesser used bags behind, but I just am so attached to so many of them that I don't really see that happening! I am also a serial over-packer; I just love to be prepared for every situation and that includes situations where I might need a bag!

Excited to hear about your Paris trip and score!! :flowers:

That's great news!

I've been carrying my bright yellow Balenciaga City all week, because I needed the extra room, and suddenly I looked down yesterday and... eek! ... there was color transfer from my black jeans on the handle that's closest to my body. :yucky:

I've had this bag for four years, but the jeans are fairly new (just bought this year) so I guess I should have washed them before carrying the bag. But I've never, ever, EVER had an issue with color transfer with any of my bags, so it honestly never crossed my mind to watch out for this. Lesson learned.

Fortunately, tPF to the rescue! I searched out a number of solutions, but the one I chose was a product called "Bye Bye Dye" from Lovin' My Bags. I've used a lot of their products over the years, and I've always been very pleased, so I'm keeping my fingers, toes, and eye crossed that this one works as promised. :panic: :panic: :panic:

Let us know how it works. I had blue dye on my Azur speedy canvas once ,but it came right off with a non alcohol baby wipe.

DH and I went to the Paris outlets today, first time and we come here every year. It was fun. It was freezing cold and raining so was nice to get out of city for a few hours. Anyways, they had a longchamp outlet so I picked up a le pliage for my mom and one for our Nanny - rewards for managing our kids while we are away! Hard to resist them here since they are SO much cheaper.

I say bring everything you have. Then if you don’t use you can sell/donate them vs, forgetting about them at your old place. Good luck with the move!
