^ Glad to hear that. I've been debating between buying new vs. used and some of those pics online were rough. I assumed these girls were just putting them through the ringer, but I was surprise what was going on where the zipper meets the strap in a few (white fluff popping out lol)

I would suggest to just buy new. Except when you can get near mint condition preloved. But of course depends on how much you will utilize the bag in the end. I think if I have bought the bag brand new in black I would have gotten so much more use out of it. And now selling it and rebuying another one seems really stupid. But I can't help myself. I love the bag dearly.

^I've been leaning that way! I anticipate non-stop use on nights and weekends :biggrin:. Going to try my best to keep it in good shape but the inevitable few shows at Terminal 5 will happen anddddd it's never going to be near-mint again.

If you yourself the one who use and abuse it I think it's fine because then you make so much memories with the bag :biggrin:

I regretted my micro luggage, as I never use it... it’s just too big and heavy for a top handle bag for me. So I’ve sold it. However I love my celine box and belt bag, and use them very often.

I regret my tobacco colored box bag. I don't know what I was thinking. I don't wear those fall colors - mostly black and jeans. I should have went with the dark navy. Now she sits and only been worn once. So sad.

It's a tobacco brown color. I'm selling some of my bags to make room for special pieces, but I'll hold off on selling the Celine Box for some time. Too bad I can't trade for another color, or maybe I should expand my wardrobe for earth tone /nature colors.

I just saw a bag that looks exactly like mine on AFF.

“maybe I should expand my wardrobe for earth tone /nature colors” - this comment resonated with me.

I only wear cool tones, silver hw and jewellery etc. Then I bought a grey bag with gold hw and I warmed to it. I then bought a dove grey bag online but when it arrived I was annoyed it was more caramel coloured than grey. I placed it beside my desk for 2 days and then decided I liked it.

I adapted my wardrobe in some ways and fitted it in with my existing too. For example the brown bag looks great with my black and dark blue jeans and a white or multi coloured top. I bought a scarf with caramel stripes in it. I then bought some winter white jeans and brown boots and the bag looks great too.

Maybe with some small adjustments you can make this beautiful box bag work for you. I’ve managed it and I’m delighted at how classy brown tones can look.

Thanks you so much BigCherry. I like the idea of winter white and how to coordinate into my outfit... top, scarf, etc. I agree the bag is too classic and beautiful to give up b/c I can't stretch my wardrobe. Your comments gave me lift. Thanks so much!

I regret my Medium Trotteur, the rounded saddle shape is not my style even though it looks beautiful on others.

I regret my black Small Trotteur, it’s too small, doesn’t even fit my sunglasses and the Clasp has opened several times and my card holder has fallen out on the street that’s why I never use it anymore.

My Celine Mini Luggage bags are great quality and beautiful leather but too bulky for my short height. My Phantom Luggage is also too heavy for my height. But I love these bags and highly recommend if you’re looking for a large bag.

I love my Nanos the best. Celine Trio is so simple and practical best purchase ever. My Micro Belt bag is fabulous too.

I have come to realise that I can only deal with medium and Small bags now, I just don’t have the patience for big heavy bags anymore no matter how beautiful they look online. Mini bags which don’t fit my needs are also a pet peeve for me now.
