Same - less interested in them, have what I need and sold the rest. Probably will sell more at some point. I find most of them boring as well (nothing new really) and am also tired of spending too much time thinking about shopping. I really have all I need.
Anyone stepping away from handbags?

I just sold three Celine handbags because I wasn't using them more than my other bags, especially my cheaper ones. I'm not planning on buying more luxury bags.
I would like to be able to do this. I have a Celine Micro Belt Bag that I haven’t used in years but I keep holding on to it. Did you consign your Celine bags or sell them yourself?
Until last week, I’d been away from handbags for a little over a year I think. Partly bc I had assembled a collection where I’m really happy with everything and don’t know that I can regularly rotate through many more than I currently have.
And partly bc we’ve landed really solidly in a trend that I pretty fully don’t like, i.e. crescent bags with a short strap. And hobos. Everything mostly looks the same to me now, I pull up sites and look at bags occasionally but nothing really stands out.
I imagine I’ll buy new pieces only very occasionally from here on out.

Just to give you an update. Rebag accepted my celine teen box bags that I bought from rebag and fashionphile. Did not accept my celine triomphe bag that I got from vestiaire collective. The guidelines list a variety of reasons for the rejection but nothing concrete.
I don't mind because I can just keep the triomphe bag, but I thought you might be interested in an update.
I have collected exotic bags since I was 20. I am 32 now. This year I had so many issues with some of my precious ones. For example, a LV Louise GM in the most amazing burgundy python was MELTING in its dust bag. I had to take it to LV hoping they could fix the glazing. I have also some personal issues and phobias, but I will wait until I can make a post about it. The passion just got lost when the bags are not holding their value or break even though I store all in one room.
I think I've bought one bag in the last few years (a Polene bag in 2022). First, I'm out of space in my apartment. Second, I have so many bags that I can't even make up my mind on which to carry. They are all in dustbags on shelves so I can't easily see them and I forget what I have. I also just kinda lost interest.
I need to cull a bit but I can't be bothered to list them for sale.

I can sympathize with you as I have the same problem ! My bags are stored in a high and very deep corner closet
So many bags are rarely used because I usually don't feel like rummaging around for long ...
So far I haven't found a way to organize them so that I can keep an overview
We also live small. For me keeping a photo album on my phone of my bags is everything. I also have albums for shoes and scarves.I can sympathize with you as I have the same problem ! My bags are stored in a high and very deep corner closet

Yes to all this! I have a powerpoint that I use to compile my collection so I can always refer back and remind myself.
I do the same except I have a clothing app where I put a picture of the bag in the app. The app puts different clothing options for me with my accessories, shoes, bags, etc.
I think I am done buying handbags too for now. The last time I purchased a bag was back in May. That is a long time for me. So we will see how that goes.
