Need your advice / opinions. TIA 
I took a step back from the Saint Laurent camera bag fiasco and thought about my collection when it comes to black bags. Other than a black tote, what I need is a dressy-ish black bag with good capacity to carry my things. I’m going to solve that by finally searching for the pristine black lamb Chanel single flap jumbo I’ve been planning on buying since I sold my black patent sf jumbo. I really should have already bought this.
However, once I get it, I’ll have 6 black bags which feels like a lot for my 23 bag collection:
• Fendi large By the Way
• YSL Mono Cabas
• Dior Diorama studded So Black WOC
• Louis Vuitton LockMe II
• Jimmy Choo Raven Hobo
That makes me wonder if I need the YSL camera bag.
But, my black bags are by far the most used in my collection.
The reasons I’d get the YSL black on black camera bag are that it’s a great casual bag that can go with any jewelry / outfit and it would take the “pressure” off my LV LockMe II (my second most used bag) that I’m getting tired of using. Usually, I don’t buy bags that will cannibalize usage but, in this case I’d want it to do so. Plus, I really like the look of the bag. It’s feminine and edgy.
The reasons not to get it is that I worry it’s too much of an “on trend” bag and will date badly. I’ll happily carry older bags unless they seem like part of a dead trend. And, I worry about YSL quality since I struggled with my current YSL and have read about quality issues on tPF (although people screech about Prada’s poor quality and I’ve never had an issue with my Prada bags.)
Throwing in a wrinkle, I could sell my YSL black on black monogram Cabas to reduce my total number of black bags. I’m not crazy about it (it’s probably bottom 5 in terms of like in my collection) but, I do wear it quite a bit (it’s top 5 for usage because it’s “quiet” and works in tons of scenarios.) And for the love of Pete, I don’t want to sell any more bags.
So, help! Should I get the camera bag? Should I sell the YSL mono cabas? (here’s a pic of the latter in case that helps)
