I am so guilty of doing this, more times than I can count.I mean same style ,size color, virtually cloned from a bag I just sold months or years before. I have always had a soft spot for MK astors, certain Coach lines and on and onnnnn :cool: !!! Any other like minded twice or thrice buyers out there?? Perhaps I'm not alone !!!

this is exactly why I NEVER sell bags!! LOL because otherwise, I know I'd be guilty of this exact same thing. I am guilty of buying dupes in different colors/materials though, I really try to limit it to 3 dupes, but many times I break this rule o mine.

I'm actually thinking about buying another DKNY crossbody in the style I already have, only in a different color. I love the bag, I've had it since early fall and it's been my most used bag ever since I got it. Soletimes it makes sense.

I have variety and some duplicates, if something works, it works

I've done it with LV and with Mulberry. Ended up selling the second time Mulberry and not rebuying, and finally kept the second LVs I bought. Shouldn't have sold them the first time! I have 2 Chanel totes the same but different colors. Also have a couple same bags from my fave etsy seller with different color trim. Oops just realized I have a few more etsy bags the same style but different colors.

I have a few bags that are totally the same design but just different colours. Naturally I asked myself many times do I really love that bag design so much. No buyer's remorse so far.

Never thought I'd do this, but I'm guilty as charged. Used to own the LV monogram petit bucket. Liked it but wasn't crazy about it after I got into the LV craze. Sold it to fund other things. Fast forward, I buy the exact same bag but this time in the Damier Ebene. Way happier with the print and the shape (even though everyone seems to poo-poo on it :laugh:).

I should've stuck with what I loved in the beginning than get caught up with everyone's collections and views on the bags. Ah well, lesson learned. :smile1:

I did this with medium Givenchy Pandora in black goatskin. It was my first four-digit purchase, and I had serious buyers remorse -- not about the bag, which I loved, but about the price point.

I eventually sold (for less than I paid, of course).

As it does, my price point elevated, and I missed the Pandora. It's such a versatile bag -- and in black goatskin, it's indestructible. It fits my urban life - with lots of walking and public transit - perfectly.

I bought the exact bag again, pre-loved.
I also bought the identical bag in a lovely teal-like blue (Givenchy calls it 'oil blue'). Have not used the blue one nearly as much, but it's now the dead of winter here in Chicago. Will hold on for warmer weather with her.

I now think twice about selling any of my higher quality bags -- knowing that if I fall out of love with them, I'll come back around :-)

While Longchamp is not a high end brand , I am crazy about it. The large long handle tote is everything! !!!! Snow rain sunshine -20C to-40C. Work play travel kids shopping beach ...its the perfect bag for everywhere doing everything. I own about 5 of these in different colors and love every single one of them (:
