This is my current collection - including the CF in the second photo and the miu miu bag in the third (I recently moved back into my apartment and am slowly unpacking all of my things so it's still boxed up). I'm trying really hard to decide what to do with my collection overall... I'm a bit unsure what to add. I've been eyeing the Dior toujours bag as well as the Celine triomphe (both ava and classique). Not sure if any of these are decent choices? I got the Prada re-edition for a similar purpose as those... to be a carefree everyday black bag without a chain. However, the Prada just doesn't really make my heart sing. Maybe I should have gotten the one with the seatbelt strap? The bag itself checks all the boxes in terms of size, functionality, material, color, etc. It's just a little... boring? I don't hate it, but I don't love it like I hoped I would. Not sure what to do there... though there's really nothing like saffiano leather. It's crazy durable! I'm also considering letting go of the ivory cafune duffel drop bag. I LOVE the color, but she has only been used once due to impracticality of the shape. Also, it's too small as a shoulder bag, but kind of wide and awkward as a top handle. The final contender for being let go is the LV pochette. It's so tiny and really doesn't fit much. But it's cute and kind of a classic, so I hesitate to let it go. It just doesn't get much use. Thoughts?? My goal is to have a well-rounded collection and not have a bunch of the same brand/style/color!

If you are wanting to get rid of bags in current collection, I see two LV monogram so one of those makes sense. Also 2 Goyard with same print... I prefer the green as it's a pretty shade and provides a pop of variety whereas you already have a few black bags. If you aren't loving this exact Prada, maybe get rid of it in favor of a different style in saffiano leather. I have a Prada saffiano monochrome in pink that I always get compliments on and also have the saffiano tote with the debossed logo which I find makes the bag more interesting. I got the sabbia color but I also want it in the black!

The goyard hobo has a deep sentimental value to me! It’s the last bag I got before my mom passed away. I remember showing her and she told me it was her absolute favorite bag of mine. I also got to the boutique at 9 AM to wait for this bag haha. I’d never in my dreams consider parting with it. The green shade of the mini anjou is one of my favorites too! The bag itself is just sadly impractical :sad: I find that I can’t really wear it on the shoulder (it slides off) and carrying an open bag like that top handle is a bit troublesome. I kind of question if I should keep that one to be honest :,)

Cheers to apartment life! It keeps me from going overboard on my handbag collection.

If the Prada doesn't make your heart sing, then it's time to let it go for something that does.

Also, I agree on the LV Pochette. The fact that it doesn't fit much affects it's usage. Maybe it's time to let that one go too.

I wouldn’t edit at this point.
Perhaps you could add a top handled, handcarry, structured bag if you like that look

ETA: if you are unsure about what to add, and you are debating what to rehome, (it sounds like you have mixed feelings about the sentimental value bag too) I would not do anything until you see something that you adore and cannot live without.

Totally understand. Was just going off the very little info I had. Sorry to hear about your mom. I lost mine 10 years ago. :sad:

I’m so sorry to hear about your mom as well… :( I think it’s important to remember that even though we may not live forever, love does. Nothing can break the special bonds we have with others. Thank you for your advice though — the canvas monograms can easily get repetitive if there are too many. Especially the LV I think because the color is the exact same…
