Well done, something we should all think about doing. It is so easy to over extend yourself when it comes to bags. I used to be very sensible about buying bags but recently I made a spontaneous buy and then I made it worse by buying another
It's almost like once you've done it's easier to do the next time......and so on 
+1This is difficult to read about, and also to do. Big hug to you! It's not easy to keep things in perspective (especially around this forum with all the luxury eye candy and occasional posturing about acquisitions and "scores"), but I wish continued stability and success for you, and appropriate enjoyment of your possessions.
very classic and very neutral start!View attachment 4609257 View attachment 4609258
Need to try to track my nov stats tomro, but 1 Hermes scarf in, and one of you asked me to post when i received it, as it is my first...her she is...i feel a new addiction brewing
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!! I think I finally get it.
Nope… the double flap isn't for me. It sounds, if I may shamelessly borrow from @Cookiefiend , like the original flappity-flap-flap bag. I do love the look of the Reissue closure, and if it came in a single flap I would seriously want one. But I don't want a bag that requires fiddling. And I for sure don't need the extra weight.
Now… I've just saved upwards of six grand. What am I going to spend it on?
I love my Reissues ❤️ I have a 225 and 226. The 226 seems significantly larger and I can use it as a day bag comfortably. They are double flaps and I enjoy that but I totally get that the single flap can be far more practical. Chanel were really annoying to discontinue the single, so many of us love It.
The distressed calfskin leather is far sturdier and I don't "baby" it at all. It's also light weight, so I find it a very practical bag. The strap adds a bit of glamour and is very comfortable to wear with the added bonus that it fits x body I don't necessarily prefer it to the interwoven leather one, it's just a lovely change and adds variety.
I have back problems and I've moved to smaller bags recently. I can carry the Reissue with ease, on the shoulder or x body.
Hope that helps, not quite what you were asking but the excellent link provided answered that brilliantly
May i join you in the no spend January? Even tho i’ve been selling, i’ve been very compulsive about buying lately...i love your idea of no spending in January...and hopefully it will lead to a no spend Feb etc....
I delighted by this color.Oh, I was reading an article about that just the other day. Lucky me… for once Pantone's color of the year is actually a color I can wear! I wonder when it will start to trickle down to us ordinary folks???
I hope it is alright to post and pose this question in this thread. I received a bag today from FP that i had on layaway and i am really on the fence about the usefulness of the color. The bag is beautiful and i love it, but the color is very tricky, i am not sure what to wear it with, especially if different color bags would go better....i figured this would be a good place to ask! You are all so helpful
So if any of you have ideas of if it would be a good color to wear with certain colors? Or is it a pass. i am so on the fence about it. The outside pic shows the color better. Its not pink and not buff/nude, but a kind of nude with a pinky undertone? Its a weird color...and even if i wear it with denim, there might be color transfer, and i wonder, would black or other colors go better anyway......help! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
if you all think it would go with a lot, its a keeper, but if its too tricky, i do ‘t want another bag sitting in the closet unused...
That's exactly my problem! I can be good for months but once I buy something, I start looking at everything and find more things to buy. It's even worse when the first purchase turns out to be something I really love.Well done, something we should all think about doing. It is so easy to over extend yourself when it comes to bags.

I have the same problem with lighter colored bags like this. I have a pink bag I hardly ever wear. I think it is because my wardrobe is mostly dark with some jeweltones. Very little pastel. I think it would look great with beige, grey and cream.View attachment 4610730 View attachment 4610731 View attachment 4610732

I love the style, but I personally would have trouble matching this color to my wardrobe. I guess it depends on what you usually wear, yes? I wear jeans most of the time, with sweaters in the winter, and tees in the warm(wish) months. If I'm not wearing jeans, I'm wearing black pants. So this color would be a "no" for me.View attachment 4610730 View attachment 4610731 View attachment 4610732

If you tend to wear lighter colors (cream, light grey, and so on) then this color would be a perfect fit. But if you wear a lot of denim, then yes, I think color transfer could definitely be a problem. I had a serious color transfer problem last summer when I wore my yellow Balenciaga bag with a pair of dark blue jeans. It took me hours upon frustrating hours to get the blue stains out.
Let us know what you decide!
Same here! And i don‘t wear beige or cream, and only dark gray...i think this is part of the problem...its not a practical color for me....a few months ago i would have kept it, just because i liked it...but this thread is at least helping me to analyze my bag needs more, even if i am still buying too much
I do not have a black or a brown Veneta yet, so i think i will return this and get a color i need...Thank you for your input

Thank you so much for your thoughts
Your wardrobe sounds similar to mine....and in addition to jeans, i do wear denim shirts and denim jackets a lot....so between possible color transfer and lack of matching colors, unfortunately it is looking like this bag will not work for me Just writing the post about it really helped me to see this clearly, and your responses confirmed my thinking....back it goes...I am so sorry to hear about your yellow Bal bag! But so glad you were able to remove the color transfer....what a nightmare that must have been
