I'm the same with the Stam bag. I go back and forth on that one -- still somewhat undecided. I actually like kiss-lock closures and would like a bag with one at some point, but I think they suit small bags better than large ones.

BV chain pouch. Love the pouch but the chain makes it too trendy. Update may 2021, got the chain pouch ...
Chanel 19, the stiff leather shoulder piece made even stiffer with the chunky chain on top of it is not comfy to me and it keeps slipping off my shoulder so it is limiting since I can only cross body it.
Hermes Kelly cut / medor clutch which are mainly for nights out and who goes out at night these days? Dinners are quick too because the restaurants here impose a maximum of 1.5 hours per table.
Hermes Marwari , too heavy.
LV speedy and neverfull, outgrew wanting them.
YSL Mombasa, enough said I am sure almost no one remembers this bag.

i remember! and i think it is really beautiful and an art. but dont think i will wear it as a bag.
I still love my Speedy and Neverfull. The Neverfull is what I use when I need to carry my laptop.
With regards to going out for dinners, we haven't been to dine in since last year summer
.Same here - nice bag, but not my style. So I chose the Chanel Boy. It gives off a more casual vibe. I don't carry my Chanel Boy to work though, just not that suitable for my work setting.
Curious to know why you lost your excitement for the Boy and Gabrielle?
I’ve tried them on and they weren’t ‘me’. It bothers me a lot when I see that the bag is wearing me, and not the other way around.
Vintage Hermès Kelly - I had already talked to the seller a lot about the bag and received many additional pictures. It was a really fair price for the condition so I was feeling pressured (that no one else buys it from right under my nose) that I nearly got it without really deciding if it's the right bag for me. And it really isn't and I'm glad I didn't buy it: It was a Kelly 25 retourner in black box leather without shoulder strap, which would've been too small for the office & errands, too dressy /ladylike for most occasion, but too large for an evening bag. And I don't like black leather and gold hardwear combination. Maybe the time for a kelly comes, not right now. In the meantime I started leaning more towards the Fendi Peekaboo or LV Capucine.
Yes! Everyone talks about the shoulder strap is so comfortable but I hated it! I sold mine
There’s always the mini Stam...
Ha, ha thanks.....I checked out some mini and baby Stams in the Stam thread and will have to look into it further. Seems like they come in a crossbody style and also a top handle style and I'm thinking I would prefer the top handle....
Gucci large “GG” horsebit hobo in black leather. I was obsessed with this bag but could not afford it. I am glad I never bought it because it was just so heavy; I would never have been able to carry it. If Gucci ever reintroduced this bag in a soft lightweight leather, I may reconsider.
Baby Stam, that's the word I was looking for. I came up with little, mini, small...

Here's a pic of mine, long since sold.
Pochette Métis. This is the one bag where somehow I totally fell for the hype and I wrote myself down for the waiting list and everything. By the time I got a call I was off it. Thankfully, because I have never seen this bag in the wild and liked how it looks...
