Spring cleaning my purse closet, and getting rid of bags I don't use. I have two black camera bags, same size. One MM Glam Slam, and one Rebecca Minkoff. Rebecca Minkoff is going to the local charity for DV victims. I only need one black camera bag. My two Ted Baker heart bags are adorable, but don't get used much. I'm going to try them out as Church bags. If I still don't use them, they will go. My Ferragamo W bag and BV Campana are both purple satchels of similar size, but I love any use them both, and I just can't part with either of them! I use my beautiful RM coral bags, not my Guess one, so it's going to the charity. My Eileen Fisher knot bag is also going - I have too many black bags! :yes: I'm getting a new Polene bag (Number 9-mini), and giving my Number Six to a friend, since I almost never use it. My patent leather MM bucket bag is going to my aunt. I have two other black bucket bags I wear a lot more, and don't have to baby like I tend to do with patent leather. I really should give up my Jimmy Choo BonBon since I almost never wear it, but can't make myself. It's a work of art, imo (pic below).

I would not get rid of the Jimmy Choo either. We all have one or two lovelies that are pretty but aren’t worn often.
I am also going through my bags. I have bought a few fun bags recently but not every thing was a good fit. So I have removed quite a few.
Can’t wait to see your new bag.

I added this little Bag and it is fun and functional. It is from Meanwhile Back on the Farm. I wear a lot of olive green so it works well with that and my jeans.
I returned the pretty cognac bag. It was a gorgeous color in real life but not quite what I needed. The zipper was not opening and closing easily or I probably would have kept it .
I also let some other things go.

I am spring cleaning too! Not just my handbags but other things in my closet as well. Regarding bags, the Gucci Lady Lock top handle and Dior Maris Pearl left my closet. I also gave away a couple of D&B bags that I had sitting in my closet of departing bags. I got one bag in, an embroidered Lady Dior (will post pics soon), and with that I think I just might be at purse peace.:yes:

Just an FYI- if you have a zipper that is sticking/rough, rub the teeth on each side with wax paper. Works on the crankiest zipper!

I'm glad you are keeping both your purple BV and Ferragamo. I drool every time I see them.

Well, looks likes the Gao was too good to be true. After the seller countered an offer from me and I accepted, they cancelled the order saying the bag is not available! Wow! Totally unprofessional! Very disappointed! Now I have to look again or spend more money…

What a shame! I'm so disappointed for you!

I'm spring cleaning too. We have a storage shed in our backyard and my goal is to completely empty it except for gardening items. Some things were put there when we first moved in and never touched since. Plus I have old tax records back there. I cleaned a bunch out several years ago but now there are more that are more than 7 years old. I wish I could burn them. It's such a pain to shred everything.

We also have storage cabinets in our garage. I'm going to tackle that after I'm done with the storage shed.

This one I think the problem was they bent it down to tuck it out of the way with the extension piece that was not attached and It warped the zipper a bit. I will remember the trick for the future though. I have tried this using a white candle but this sounds better, as it won't leave a lot of residue.
