How difficult is it for you to part with your designer bags?

We all get attached to our stuff. Some how, my attachment to bags is not too bad. In the last 3 months I have sold 3 bags - a bal work, ysl BDJ and an Andrew Marc bag. I've also managed to give some away. It's healthy to get rid of our acquisitions. Allows us to it be shackled and controlled by them.
 
I get attached to my bags and have a hard time parting with them. I can usually remember what was happening in my life at the time I used the bag the most, so I tend to get sentimental too. Sounds silly but I tend to hold on to many things for sentimental reasons.
 
Nay, being sentimental about a bag is not silly at all.

Well, I've decided that I'm going to sell all my Louis Vuitton bags. I think I've outgrown them even if I still get sentimental about two of them. It doesn't make any sense for me to keep them when I don't and won't use them.
 
I have never parted with a designer bag other than passing it on to my daughter. I could sell them, but I prefer to see my daughter enjoying them. I have a few that I know she would like to carry, but I"m not ready to loan them out yet; I feel like I'll still want to use them at some point. So I guess my only difficulty in parting with a bag is in determining whether or not I'll use them. Not really the same feelings as if I were going to sell them. In my case, I don't see myself ever selling because my daughter will always want anything I'm not using!
 
I want to believe that it is easy for me to let go of my bags and it is in certain cases if I know the person is going to love and take care of the as I do but I must be honest I just put up some bags on sale on eBay and I am kind of feeling overwhelmed I almost don't want them to sell :wondering

I know the feeling all too well. Yesterday when I shipped off my bags to Yoogi's Closet, it felt bittersweet. I want to sell two more bags and one in particular I am finding hard to convince myself to sell.
 
I get very attached to my belongings much like a kid, yeah I know this sounds childish, but I really cannot sell bags that I have bought myself but do not use much often. It feels like betrayal. I am blessed to have a Mom and a sister who do not mind me asking them if they will take a bag that is near brand new but I do not want anymore.
