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

[dcooney4]

I have not been good this month. Mz Wallace has their twice yearly sale on styles they will no longer make in fabrics I adore. The other item you already saw the Tori bag and matching wallet. I got to have a leather bag and stay within my weight constraints. I did finally decide which of the Mz backpacks I was going to keep and sold the other. I had bought them in summer but one was my favorite blue from them and the other was a beautiful boysenberry color with a travel sleeve. I kept the boysenberry because that travel sleeve is worth it's weight in gold .

This super low balling happens to me fairly often . Sometimes I counter at a higher then I would counter somebody with a fair offer other times I simply decline it. I have had a super low baller comeback and offer a reasonable amount and it went. She then gave me a great rating so you just never know. I am still fairly new to this type of thing though.

I might try counteroffering, I've only been declining the offers. I recently had a separate person offer quite a bit more than the lowballers, but still not enough for me to let go of the bag. I will just wait it out.

I've been away for a bit, in terms of participation. What's the current monthly challenge?

Also finally took the effort to put a bag up for sale. I've been deflecting a bunch of lowball offers. Who in their right mind thinks somebody's going to sell a $600 bag (in absolutely perfect condition) to them for $70? I actually laughed when I saw the offer. I have it priced for half off now, but if it doesn't sell for a while, will start to go down in price. Soon will post a few more of my bags gathering dust. I want to cull my collection a bit, so I can enjoy more the bags I use and not have to worry about the ones I have sitting in their dustbags.

Welcome back. We are here to help each other with these decisions! (and frustrations!)

I have a few Mulberrys. I have found the brand reasonably priced RELATIVE to some other premier brands for the same look and feel.

Small Zipped Bayswater in Oxblood. A favorite!

Camden in Dune color. Leather is so ‘fragrant’! The bag is easy to carry.

Leighton in Black. I normally carry her by the shoulder using a Massaccesi strap I ordered specifically for her. But in this photo the bag has the original straps.

I love Mulberry! I have a wallet (just retired), leather bracelet and wool scarves.

No Miu Miu for me. I have Tory Burch shoes (my go to brand for shoes nowadays) but no bags.

The last black bag, the Leighton. is such a clever design. Like a really smart hobo. It also reminds me of the H Lindy but is a lot more classic and 'stealth'

I find those low ball offers actually a damn insult.

Can you believe I'm just putting my Summer-only bags away now? Pink velvet, vintage shoulder bag, Gucci Anamalier Bright et al.

I have no Miu Miu either but I used to love their collections and have some RTW (many moons ago) and I would have killed for a Prada Fairy bag. I wouldn't turn one down now for a reasonable price. I only have one Prada bag left but I hardly think about Miu Miu or Prada for bags now.

Anyone else suddenly find themselves unintentionally closing their minds on certain brands?

Hopefully. off to pick up my Bamboo GP tomorrow so I'll just where my Evie and carry the Garden Party in hand to a art exhibit closing party.

Thanks for everyone sending me their best wishes. I got the job I went for this week (yay) and transfer immediately. just as well coz I didn't even get an interview for the other I applied for.

Looks like rain, wearing the Evie again plus Double Sens Maxi to go shopping. See you later.

I adore your Mulberry bags, so chic and classy just like you.

Thanks DC!!

At least you’re still able to have outs to counter the ins!

Smart hobo, I like that! And congratulations on your new job!

I do too. I was very shocked the first time it happened.

Congrats on the new job. Have fun at the gallery closing party. Though I just realized I have forgotten to invite people to one I am showing at the end of next week. Ugh! I think because I really don’t want to go it myself. It’s a beautiful venue but no always well attended.

Beautiful, classic bags. I do not have any Mulberrys, but after seeing this weeks bags all of you have, i am very much interested in the brand now

Congratulations on your new job! Very exciting to start a new chapter. Wishing you the very best

I think the lowballs are insulting also. I have been selling a lot of new with tags bags, and its so insulting the emails i get....emails because i never turn the offer buttons on now when i list on ebay, since they are so unbelievable! I think its just part of the landscape now. Everyone wants a bargain. And the majority of brands lose most of their value on the secondary market.....

Thanks, me too! Mine is the full size, and so was the last one. Now, it remains to be seen how heavy it gets with a day's items, but I sure am glad to have something in Oak NVT.

Oak is such a classic Mulberry color. I'm sad that I don't own anything in that color. On the other hand, oak really doesn't go with the clothes I wear (which is probably why I haven't ever purchased any oak items, LOL!)
