have you just randomly fallen out of love? [with your handbags/accessories

[MandM]

Yes! All the time. But then I'll often fall back in love. This happens with bags, but with clothes even more. I'll love a new item, then decide it makes me look bad in some way...then maybe change my mind again, maybe not.

bottom line is I definitely spend too much on things I end up not using much.

I'm not in love with LV anymore, and I don't know why! I never carry my speedy but I will keep the bag because it is a classic. I 'm not in love with Coach anymore, I don't think that I ever was. I had several caoch bags and don't own any of them anymore, gave them all a way.

Wow, I really see myself in this thread. I had a Coach bag that I bought (full price in a department store) in 1992. I carried it every day until 2004. Yep, really, no kidding. I had no unmet needs. I never gave my bag a second thought.

Then I discovered designer bags on Ebay. I was very, very careful in buying. I didn't struggle with authenticity. So...I went nuts. From about May, 2004, to Feb, 2006, I bought about 25 bags. MJ, Prada, LV, Tod's, and Fendi....

Well, I won't say they were mistakes...I LOVE my MJ and Tods bags. Wear them and love them just as much as when they were new. But Prada, LV and Fendi turned out to be mistakes for the most part. I still keep them - I really don't want the hassle of selling - but I literally have never worn a Fendi Selleria bag I bought in February. This was my last purchase and now I'm just 'rehabilitating'.

Why did I do it? I think I just got caught up in the 'game' on Ebay. I would scour around looking for just the right deal - the overlooked treasure, etc. and I just kept buying them. The second I got them home and in the closet it was on to the next. Frankly, sometimes I'd move on before I even received it. I remember asking dh for a bag for every occassion we celebrated in 2005, including our 10th anniversary. He thought it was kind of strange and I guess by the end of the year I sort of agreed.

I'm glad that's over. Maybe it was my mid-life crisis? Still cheaper than a Porsche.

Yes, all the time! Usually because I would carry one every single day and then after awhile I would just get sick of them! I wear a lot of black so it's easy for me to carry the same black bag every day and not take the time to change bags...for example, I have a wonderful black patent Prada tote and after a couple weeks I suddenly just got sick of it. But I think she is lonely now so I will bring her out again for fall . Now I take more time to rotate bags so I don't get tired of any of them!

I think that's normal. When I fall out of love with my bags, I give away the cheaper bags to charity and sell the more expensive ones.

I find that I don't love my Coach so much anymore.. but it's not so random, that's just because I love Louis so much more ! My Coach bags hardly see the light of day anymore.
