May stats-
12 out
5 in

I got rid of a lot, which makes me feel great. Many I did not replace, but some I replaced with versions I would actually use more, like the orange Prada (which I LOVE!) for the Picotin 28. I have a brown mono canvas Gucci coming soon that is the style I really wanted to replace two others I bought for price but that were not right. I got these all at steal prices, which makes them even better. The red one is a Bolide 31 canvas vanity case I sewed leather handles on and made a base shaper for. Sone may think that’s cheesy, but I like it for summer and all in it was under $200. Other than a TBD red bag to be purchased in Italy and a very special vintage Hermès Sac 404 I have a deposit on, I am done. Between these new additions and what I kept, I have everything I need but still have a small enough number to ensure what I have will get rotated and be used. I still have a few set aside that I will be consigning in the fall because it is a more appropriate season for them. I am at 20 bags, 22 final when the Gucci and Hermès are here.View attachment 5418567View attachment 5418568View attachment 5418569View attachment 5418570View attachment 5418571

Your BowieFan x Hermes bag looks very lovely and like the perfect summer bag!

Did I read Sac 404? They are soooo nice!

I found what was possibly the perfect peachy orange bag the other day, and it sold out in days.

Can I ask what bag it was? May show up on the resale sites.

If you have space, keep it! It is unique and special…I have never seen it before and if you sell it and get seller’s remorse, will you ever be able to find it again? I love it!

Everyone had great stats for May! Here are my 2022 stats, a bit late for May. Out 6, In 9 for 2022. Since I had a goal of 1 in = 1 out, that meant 3 needed to go. When I looked at my list of bags, it was surprisingly easy to decide which 3 should go. So they will go to the local charity for victims of domestic violence next week. It also leaves me at 48 bags (I know, that's a really high number...) which is less than the 50 I've set as my limit. There are two more I'm considering letting go, but we'll see. Maybe 2023 can have a goal to get down to 45 as my limit...

Curious how you gals feel about this subject: Keeping a novelty bag specific to one holiday. My adorable Kate Spade novelty Valentine's Day bag. I'm only going to wear it the first couple weeks of February. But I have it sitting on my entry way table as 'decor' for those two weeks (maybe three next year). And it does make me smile those few weeks. As far as 'shopping my own closet': I certainly won't be buying a new Valentine's Day bag, but carrying this one, for at least several years. Is it worth keeping that kind of bag? I am keeping my Jimmy Choo BonBon that I don't carry much as a work of art. And if I call the novelty bag 'decor' - since I do use it as such - then I have other holiday decor that's only used a few weeks a year. Would you count it as a bag, or decor?

A great idea to make bags as home decor! Unfortunately for me, it won’t work since dust accumulates easily here.

Posting below a straw bag that I chanced upon in the mall yesterday. THIS IS NOT YET THE STRAW BAG I ORDERED. But who could resist one that is less than $15! Actually, it’s still a bit on the high side price wise since it’s already in the mall here in the city. In provinces where these kinds originate, you can bargain for much less.
