That’s what I’m concerned too. I’m scared that I would feel regretting returning it.

That’s what the fashion all about isn’t? Different people, different taste. I know I wouldn’t be able to make my mind even though I have got so many good advices from amazing people here, TPF! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Paris but what annoys me is just the Ebene.
I got the bag charm in Paris print and it’s in mono which I absolutely adore!!

If you don’t like Ebene, why don’t you let go of the Paris mini PA - you’re unlikely to use it if you don’t like the canvas it’s made of, and you have the bag charm in the print already. You already have the other mini PAs!
True. Absolutely agree!
I guess I just keep what makes my heart sing and get used out of it. Thank you!! 
Thank you so much!!
I think you are right. I was being a hoarder for a moment lol but nah... I think I’ve got an answer.

Thank you so much!!
You’re very welcome! I hope it was helpful. I used to have the same problem of being kind of a hoarder but honestly these things are too expensive to just buy on a whim and create clutter. Much better to invest that money into something you will actually use, or at least something that may be impractical but fills you with oceans of joy!
Can you let me know if you still have the paris mp? Where are you located? Thanks!!
Sorry dear I missed your message. Next year just go on launch day or refresh the website the night before the launch. For this year just sit it out ba 
Hey there. I am in the US. As of now, I still have it. Somebody else already PMd about it, but you are welcome to do as well.
Some of my new Christmas pieces and what’s inside:
I also picked up the Paris MP and the 2 canvas bag charms.

Trying to decide if I should keep the Venice ZCP. For context, I have no other ZCP’s. I’ve recently purchased an Alma BB DE to have a little more space than my Eva that I carried for years on a daily basis. I used a card holder and would like something larger but still compact now that I’ll have a bigger bag (card holder was always stuffed).
I purchased the 3 MP’s and love them all. I plan to use the Switzerland one during the winter in my Alma BB, and the Venice one in summer. The Paris MP will reside inside my DE Neverfull.
I also purchased 2 of the bag charms and love them both. Getting them hot-stamped later this week when my SA returns to the store.
The only piece I’m on the fence about is the ZCP. If I don’t use that as a wallet in my Alma BB, I plan to use my Empreinte key pouch instead. A benefit of the key pouch is that I can clip it to Dring in Speedy 30. love the blue interior of the ZCP, but I don’t know if I love the piece.
All the other pieces I picked up “make my heart sing”, as a previous poster mentioned. I went through a lot to track the ZCP down and just not sure I love it. I’m worried if I return it, I’ll regret it. I also wonder if it’s “over the top” to have more than one animation piece at a time in such a small bag.
An option I’ve considered is trying it out for a few weeks and if I don’t love it after using it, I could possibly sell/consign with a place like Fashionphile or Yoogi’s. I might take a bit of a loss, but it would give me a chance to try it out.
Would really appreciate your opinions and advice, please. Posted some pics for reference.

Your collection is amazing! Here I am, the poster who is convincing everybody to let go of the items they don’t really need or seem to want badly enough
The ZCP is adorable and a fairly practical piece, I’m a fan of having an actual wallet instead of a key pouch because I don’t like my bags or SLGs to look stuffed! That being said; you have two items with the Venice print that you love, are you sure you would use yet a third that you don’t? In my opinion you’re better off sticking to your key pouch or at most getting a plain canvas/ leather ZCP for its functionality - either the Epi leather, which comes in a pretty blue colour as well (Blue Jean), or the plain monogram/DE/DA, or the giant monogram if you can find it, or even the Shanghai print one (though I do think having all SLGs in Christmas 2019 animation is a bit overkill). I can understand feeling like you need to keep it because of the effort you put into getting it, but if you don’t love it you won’t use it. Maybe you can just enjoy the thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of knowing you tracked that elusive piece down, but return it and use the money towards something else. I fear that if you consign it you will take a decent loss - especially since you will have to pay commission/listing fee to the consigning website.
Keep it. You will never find it again...
I love the ZCP!! I have quite a few. So Easy!!!

Thank you for taking the time to respond with such a thoughtful reply. Your insight helps a lot.
I’m guessing you are a fan of Marie Kondo. [emoji6]I read her book several years ago and put some of her tips into practice. There is something freeing about being willing to let things go.
I hadn’t purchased anything LV for nearly 4 years, so I think I got a little carried away. The animation collection wasn’t even on my radar - I was simply looking for a new bag and bag charm to replace my Eva as an everyday bag. I started looking at the end of October and well, you can see what’s happened in just a few weeks!
I have one bag charm from the Evasion collection several years ago that I enjoy using. Other than that, I had no LE pieces prior to this collection. The designs from this year have meaning for me because I studied aboard and traveled to all of the cities/countries in the collection. The only design I don’t personally own is the Shanghai. However, I purchased the ZCP in that pattern as a gift for my mom (she loves pink, purple, and the mono pattern). She’s absolutely thrilled with it and has been using it nonstop.
Your advice is sound. Although I’m still processing a decision, I’m leaning toward returning it and enjoying what I have! I’ll follow up to let you know where I land.
