I find that my LV collection never really gets to where I feel it's complete. I have bought and sold so many LVs in the search for the collection that's just right. I was in a phase where I would only buy used LV because I felt it was such a better deal, however, recently, my opinion has really changed on that. After buying speedy after mono speedy on ebay and never really being happy (although they were all in decent shape and authentic), I just felt no real connection to the bags, and there was just something about them that didn't feel right. Finally, in early August, I decided to just go to LV (my first trip in a while) and purchase a brand new mono speedy 30 again (I had a new one that I had sold years ago). I picked her out from several that the SA showed me, and the feeling was pretty amazing! I feel a greater attachment to my brand new bags for some reason, like they were meant for me!
Shortly after, I purchased a new neverfull mm from Elux, and love it too. Finally, I decided to purchase a bag that I used to have and sold (because I was moving and needed the money at the time), the MC white speedy. This, I did get on ebay, but I found the one that had the exact color scheme that I wanted, so I feel that she was made for me, even though I'm not her first owner. She's in beautiful condition. My most recent purchase was a perfo speedy in green from ebay also, since I recently fell in love with perfo after hating it for some time, and panicked when I found out they are not being made anymore. I finally feel that these bags all really suit me, that they are all bags that I really love, rather than bags I couldn't pass up on ebay because they were good deals. Now, I think I need two more pieces to satisfy me for a while: a damier bag and a damier azur bag. I've never had anything from either line. I kind of want them both in speedies, but since I already have 3 speedies, I think that I should probably get them in something else. Anyway, I'm currently selling some of my previous ebay purchases that have fallen from my favor, and once I can get them off my hands (and possibly get those damier and damier azur pieces), I will finally be pretty content with my LV collection....I think!!!!
Just wondering whether most of you buy and sell often, or if you hold onto your bags for a while, or if you always keep what you get and keep adding......how do your collections evolve?
If I can figure out how to post pics, I will post a pic of my little collection (minus my mono wallet and make-up bag) and a pic of my current collection including the ones I'm trying to sell on ebay. I hope I can figure it out...
