I've said this before in the "Total number of bags" thread, but my mom and me have been the biggest collector of Phoebe pieces (RTW, Shoes, Jewelry, Bags) ever since 2009. I've sold almost 48 bags already from Phoebe-era.
However, for the past year, I've been collecting Phoebe pieces that I will keep forever! I will for sure be on the lookout on the resale market for Phoebe pieces that I want to treasure in my collection forever!
Your collection of bags must have been amazing. What made you sell so many and what are you thinking of reintroducing? Are any of them the same as what you sold?
Heya!
The reason for so many bags is because my mom and I loved to purchase every new style that came out each season. She's a super Phoebe fan.
A lot of the bags that were sold were because they didn't age well. Others because they were so used and beaten down. And then some styles became so ubiquitous that we never reached for them anymore. For example, I kept one Luggage with the short handles my mother purchased from the first season release in 2010, but all other styles including the Phantom, Trapeze, Belt, etc have all been sold.
A lot of our pieces are seasonal/runway items and with Phoebe's tenure at Celine lasting about 10 years, the bags piled on one by one. The bags we are still looking to collect all fall into the seasonal/runway styles.
That’s fabulous you following in your Mom’s footsteps. You must have had so much fun shopping and probably sharing bags. Sounds great too that some of them were used so hard and that means they were surely loved.
Hope you manage to find all the seasonal items you’re looking for and don’t forget to post them. I’m still seeking a frame bag even though I know it will look beat up within a month. Much harder to find items in the UK.
I'd love to know which bags are your favorites!Heya!
