I have bags that do not work for me any more. They are either to small or not my current style but I have no regrets. None of those bags were very expensive and if I never sell them I will wear them again. Actually the are only 4 out of 30+ bags that I am not currently in love with and 2 of those I like very much but they are to small.

I find that I don't have any regrets (now!)...I went through a production to get one bag from the outlet, but then, as I carried it a grand total of twice, I realized I couldn't take care of it and the opening in the center just wasn't big enough, didn't have enough "give" for my liking. So I sold it.

Usually if I find that a bag isn't going to work, I return it (I've only had to sell off 3 bags in total since my Coach affair began...one b/c it was too big--bought on da*Bay & couldn't return it, and 2 b/c I didn't feel I could take care of them well enough but I had already used them so I couldn't return.). I'm pretty good about leaving the tags on.

I've improved at making sure that I truly love a bag and that it will work for my needs--I try not to buy right away (taking a step back helps to ensure that I really want it--I usually can't stop thinking about the ones that are likely to be "keepers").

That being said, this has been a process for me--I've learned from having many misses that I ended up giving away to family to diminish clutter (i.e. cute accessories, swingpacks, pouches). Made my family happy, but sort of gave me a sick feeling for the money that I wasted.

I bought one scarf that I don't love, but I don't really regret any of my bags--I don't use all of them as much as a should (I'm still totally addicted to my Carly... I don't want to stop using her!), but I don't regret any bag purchases.

i have only one coach regret... the MFF Slim XL bag with two big pockets on the front... i i LOVE the look of it and love huge bags in general but this sucker is heavy as all get out!!! ... whenever i see someone trying one on at the outlets i warn them about the weight of it once they put their stuff in it... i've only carried it twice but i still have it figuring that one day i might just carry a little less junk in it so it won't be so heavy

I would have to say my regret is the leather legacy Mandy. I lusted after that bag for months but when I eventually got one it was so heavy to carry with all my stuff that I had to get rid of it.

No regret. Am returning one but never regret buying it. If I didn't live where I am now, I wouldn't reutrn it. A huge suede tote is just screming for trouble here in OK.

my soho flap bag into khaki sig was too round and wide for me and i realized flaps arent v functional. i had to organize everything just so to the point i didnt like having to get anything out of my bag which kinda defeets the point of bringing it w u

my zoe zip around crimson wallet. wayyyyyy tooo much $$$ for this and it was too large for me and i realized i dont like ziparounds. i got the guilts when the cheaper parker and madison wallets came out right after.

sold these both on consignment and walked away w $100 cdn.

I rarely regret a Coach purchase, though I'm lukewarm towards some. My biggest regret is a costly one...a Chloe Bay Bag. I bought after much consideration and hunting for a deal, hoping it would make me feel better after my Perfect Work Bag (Coach Ergo Large Hobo, Black with lovely Legacy striped lining) was stolen. It's very pretty, but way too heavy, which makes me hate it.

Well not sure it counts as a regret but I just bought the bag in my avatar off the bay....was the only one there and it saved me about $100 off the boutique price which I figured was comparable to PCE. Then I saw another one that had a BIN price for $100 less than what I paid so would have saved $200 off boutique price...so I regret that I didn't wait longer :smile1:
