I have always loved the Celine nano[emoji7] I plan on getting it when I meet my weight loss goal of 100lbs (over half way there [emoji1377][emoji41]) but I can't help but go back and forth in my mind about it with other bags on my wish list. Mainly because of price...I could scratch a few items off my wishlist at that price. That price also makes me wonder if I should just keep saving for my dream bag a Chanel boy...idk I have some time think and make some hard decisions lol [emoji23]
 
Chanel Classic Flap. I could see myself wearing it, but the price is a huge deterrent. Not sure if I would even get a lot wear out of it to justify spending the money.
 
Celine box - I'm really in love with this bag and try it on every time I go into a Celine store but I just can't justify paying that much for it especially with the latest price increase!

Chanel jumbo - I know I NEED this in my collection and I think it works well with my body type. I don't use my Chanel's as a daily bag so I don't know how often I'll reach for it. I already have my m/l flap for special occasions and the boy bag to use casually. If I need to fit more things, I have other bags for it. Plus at over 5k, it's hard to swallow.

I'm sure I'll regret not snatching these up when another price increase comes along but I'm good for now. [emoji4]
 
Prada saffiano Lux tote. I have had two, loved both but the saffiano on the handles wore so poorly...they got sticky and rubbery so I sold them. I still dream of buying a new one but trying to learn my lesson
 
any LV damier azur.. I just love that print in anything, but I see COLOR TRANSFER scroll through my head each time I look at one. I just can't bring myself to buy a bag that'll suffer known ruin
 
Chanel flap- so classic and elegant and something I SHOULD have in my collection... but too small and the chain and lambskin are kind of fussy for my lifestyle. Honestly though the price is the major deterrent, for something that is not a daily bag. If it were under 3k, I would probably buy it.

Celine luggage- gorgeous but heavy, too formal, and no shoulder strap.

Celine belt-love the look but not sure about the clasp and whether this is a practical bag to own in my area (where T shirts denim shorts and flip flops reign) or for someone planning on kids soon. I'm still in denial about this and still believe I will own one one day in the right color.

Lady Dior - soooo cute but too dressy for me.

Gucci disco - kind of the opposite of lust, but I keep going back to it. I should love this bag because it would be the easiest crossbody bag for my lifestyle, but I have a mental block with those big GGs, and I was underwhelmed when I tried it on.

Same goes re the GG for the Gucci marmont bags. I love the matelasse leather! I just can't with the big gold GGs. That's silly because I wear LV monogram, but I feel that monogram and damier canvas are more subtle than the GG hardware.

I feel the same way about the Gucci Disco. I love it on others, but like you, I was underwhelmed when I saw it in person. I have put my stuff in it and tried it on several times, but just can't get excited enough to buy it. Part of it is those GGs, part of it is that the tassel isn't removable. I don't hate the tassel, but I want the option of taking it off!
 
All of them are currently in my wishlist but not sure when I will pull the trigger. Now, planning to get a Chanel boy first.

1. LV Palm spring mini back pack - I find this bag super cute but I'm afraid its too trendy and might fade away. I also tried it in the store, I don't like how it looks on me.
2. LV Pochette metis - there is so much hype about this bag and I don't want to fall on it. The first time I saw it I don't like it, So I'm afraid that because I constantly see it on youtube, tpf, and instagram i get to like it now.
3. Chanel mini - I don't know if I can be that compact. It is already a struggle for me to fit my essentials in Alma bb.
4. Celine nano black - I already have a tricolor and the resale value of celine just killed me. I was trying to sell my celine mini luggage in coquelicot in excellet condition but I opted to keep it since I will get 40% of what I paid for it. I usually buy handbag that I'm sure will keep but its good to know that if you need to let go one of them you will get back a good amount of what you paid for.
5. Speedy 30 monogram - I know it is a must have LV but I already have a speedy b 25 in DE. I'm not sure if still need this.

Keep saving for your Chanel boy, Blessed. The Céline is a lovely bag but an expensive one.
Better keep the money for your dream bag...;)
