I tried the matte on in the store in medium size. I’m not fan of lambskin bags because I’m scared of messing them up. I did love the flap instead of the zipper top as well. So many decisions. I will have it narrowed down by time I get to Paris
I agree with everything @whateve said. Including the part about red being a great pop of color. So… maybe a medium-sized red one???
Oh, and just gotta say, you look fantastic! I love your outfit, right down to your sneakers.
What other leathers does it come in, besides lambskin? Dior isn't a brand I'm familiar with.
I have red Chanel flap and oxblood Valentino so I don’t need red. I am thinking black patent. Thanks I love the dress and sneakers look.I agree with everything @whateve said. Including the part about red being a great pop of color. So… maybe a medium-sized red one???

This bag only uses lamb skin for their leather goods. That’s what sales lady advised
@missie1 I vote medium. It is more practical. But I think you have to ask yourself if you tend to wear crossbody more or handheld more and that may lead to the answer.
Ladies. So my HG from many years ago appeared in great condition for a great price, but I already bought my 1 bag and the other bags I've listed aren't moving :*( what to do (it's a miu miu medium coffer in mughetto for less than $300). I'm very torn.

This is such an inspiring and supportive thread. I feel encouraged to buy less and be mindful about adding to my handbag collection. My goal for 2020 is to establish a handbag wardrobe using the bags I already own. I have several bags I that I love but feel are too nice to use; these bags need to come out and play. Good grief, a couple have their original wrapping still attached!
I also have several bargain bags that have never seen the light of day because they are just not my style. Those need to go. I'm exhausted just thinking about the task ahead but I am going to try this year to pare down my handbag collection.

How much would you regret it if you missed it? Is it no longer your HG? Do you just think you want it because it used to be your HG? Lastly, how easy would it be to resell if you get it and decide not to keep it?
All very valid questions @whateve Thanks for asking very rational questions. It stopped being my HG only due to price point. It has very low resale value from what I've noticed so I can only buy it if I intend to keep it. I am worried I've hyped the bag up in my mind because it felt so unattainable. And seeing the exact colour combination I want in the condition and price point I want is really tempting. But I was also sans toddler when I started coveting this bag. No idea if it is a realistic mom bag.
Edit: so I did make an offer, but she didn't want to budge. Had she said yes, I would have bought it. But since she stood firm at her price, I will not consider it unless I sell one more bag (the issue is a matter of principle and not affordability-- I need to at least try to stick to my lofty small budget for frivolous goods.)

We will do lots of fun challenges to get you motivated to do stuff. Welcome to the thread!
Starting off the year by letting go of a bag that I was keeping because it was expensive and because it was "rounding out my collection". However, the only way I could use this bag was in the off chance I was going to a wedding, which rarely happens anymore, and as a smaller bag in a larger tote, but with the chain strap it was so heavy all by itself.
I feel bad not having it anymore, but hope someone else can put it to good use. It seems pointless to have it sit inside my closet to never see the light of day...

Today I gave away a sporty bag and listed two other less expensive bags. Then I dropped off some stuff at a consignment shop.
I had ordered two bags and a wallet before new year and counted them in then. One has already found a new home last week. The other wasn’t final sale so when it came with a non functional zipper I sent it back and exchanged for a different style which arrived today. I had already counted them in. Trying very hard not to add anything new for January.

I went shopping today but didn't buy anything else than socks for me, I did buy a few things for mom since it was the sales and she is still really down and out from missing dad, so got her MaxMara cashmere sweaters, some other stuff and and a gorgeous cashmere scarf. Just making a parcel for her and hoping it will make her smile a little bit.
