I felt the same way after I sold my mono Galliera!!! I never thought I'd see the day where I didn't own nor want LV anymore. At the moment, MK is my heart but that could change if something more fabulous comes along....;)

Haha I am the same. I am loving all of MK's styles but I don't mind venturing off into another brand, I just haven't found any other bags that I *have* to have, besides my last Rebecca Minkoff.

How much did you get for your mono galleria if you don't mind me asking? I sold mine for $850 because there were some pen marks inside and on the strap (thanks to my careless mom who used it way more than me). It's a lot less than what I paid but I wasn't using it and I felt better knowing it went to a new home.

Did you get a black MK jet set tote? You should keep your mini Mac if you still use it and can't get what you want for it.

I did get a jet set tote in black with gold hardware. Like new for only $120! I haven't used the mini mac lately but I guess it's nice to have. I wore it twice last year only. My mom has a regular size MAC in primrose with silver hardware (a lovely baby pink) but this one is totally diff since it's neon with gold hardware. I have it listed on the bay for $115, so I don't think I'll let it go for less than that.

I know this isn't MK so sorry to post in the MK thread but here's the RM...She's worth keeping I think? Especially if no one wants her for $115!

I sold it on eBay with a bin price of $800. There were no marks. The patina was even and gorgeous but it had the marks around the rings from the hardware. So, I just listed it at that price and it sold right away.....[emoji4]
 
This inventory was a great idea! I have some urban expressions bags from Dsw that are my fun, throw around bags, but I'm trying to keep my designer collection down to five or six. If I have more than that I won't carry them all and feel they're a waste of money. I'm tweaking my collection right now. Here is what I currently have and what I'm thinking of selling:

Mk large mandarin Bedford: I don't carry this a lot because I like structured bags but it's a gorgeous color and super comfy. Plus I got it for cheap on eBay!
Mk sapphire jet set top zip: favorite bag ever
Mk sapphire large sutton: selling soon because I love the color but I like the Selma and it's top zipper better
Mk sapphire large Selma: replacing the sutton
Mk pearl grey large Selma: considering selling. I love it but I just got a grey birch phoebe and the colors are quite similar. Not sure if I'll use both and the phoebe is SO comfortable
Coach small phoebe grey birch: I just got this brand new on eBay. Haven't carried it yet but already obsessed with the color and convenience.

So jealous of all your gorgeous collections! I would love to have more but I'm a teacher and can't afford to buy a lot, plus I want to enjoy what I have. I live vicariously through you guys though!! :)

That's a good collection!!! I have the same approach, I don't like to hold onto bags that I don't use. I'd rather have seller's remorse than buyer's remorse:laugh:

Def sell the gray selma if you think you won't use it over the Coach! Seems like you love that one more..and then maybe once you sell that and your sapphire sutton you can get another bag:graucho: haha I'm so bad, sorry for enabling. And that's the best part about TPF, living through other people's purchases..it's so fun!

Thanks DF (can I call u that?;) it could also mean dear friend hehe)
It's still up for sale but it's such a cute lil bag I am leaning towards keeping as I paid full price for this about a year and a half ago ($175!!! :faint:) ... I am def maxed out on my pink bag quota

I know, I'd rather regret selling it than not using a 300 dollar bag lol!! And you're so right, I'm also wanting a messenger so I need to sell something LOL!!

:ps: I think the RM is a keeper, that pink is just stunning! I need to check out RM when I'm in the US in the autumn.

You look gorg! I looove your glasses. Definitely keep the bag, it's stunning!

Hahaha you're so silly! Yes RM is also a really good brand!! Is it not available there?? I'm shocked! They have really different and unique looking bags. Where are you going to visit when you are here? Def check out Off 5th Saks if you can, it's where things go from Saks 5th Avenue (high end store like Neiman's and Bloomingdale's) and you can get Rebecca Minkoffs for way less than retail!

Thanks yenaj! The sunnies are Marc by Marc Jacobs, so sad to hear that they are getting rid of that line. It was affordable! (got these sunnies for $59 on sale!)

Here is my new grey birch phoebe next to my pearl grey Selma. The phoebe looks pinkish in my pic but is actually a taupe-y grey. Still trying to decide if I need both but probably will sell the Selma. I already have two cobalt bags so don't need two greys. ImageUploadedByPurseForum1431132178.372012.jpg

Good choice, I would sell it too if you would be using the phoebe over it. I like the style of it and the shade! Plus you have a sapphire Selma to enjoy so you might not pay much attention to PG Selma. Did you post the sutton for sale yet?

Yes, I'm thinking I'll enjoy the blue Selma more too; I love brighter colors! I haven't posted the sutton yet, I'll update when I do!

P.S. I'm totally on the lookout for a Selma messenger so I should definitely sell both LOL!!
 
They are different colors IMO but I can understand where you're coming from


Yeah they aren't as similar as I was hoping when I bought the phoebe (I hadn't seen the color in person). I was hoping they would be closer in color to make my decision easier. However the grey is my favorite color in the phoebe and it's so pretty and comfy that I know I'll reach for it a lot. I adore my Selma but it's gorgeous in every color so I think maybe I should get another Selma in a different color that I'll carry more often. It's different with my blue bags because I carry my sapphire jet set in the spring and summer and the satchel (was a sapphire sutton but switching to electric blue Selma) in the fall and winter. Cobalt is my favorite color like EVER for bags so I get equal wear from both LOL!!

Sapphire and electric blue are closer than pearl grey and Phoebe in grey birch lol
