I just bought the python madison carryall with my pce but it really is not the bag I wanted. I wanted the madison shoulder python and they were all out and they cant get that bag anymore. I kinda talked myself into the carryall so it sits with the tags while I decide what to do. Its a beautiful bag but for the price even with the pce I'm just not surewhat to do.
^A lot of this is how I have felt, things I've done to ensure that what I have is what I'll USE. I haven't regretted returning anything, but there was a few times where I regretted not buying something but I try to let those remind me to get it if I love it and leave it if I don't.I did a "purge" late last year and returned some unusued bags and since then I have been trying to be more selective. NOT purchasing a bag that I am unsure about just because "it's pretty and a good price and it will probably be gone soon if I don't buy it today."
I had a hard time returning a few bags, but after I've done it - it's usually a relief. I've only regretted one return and I was lucky enough to be able to rebuy it at the same price a little later.
I've been walking away and not buying much more often. As soon as I am away from the store and driving home I am usually okay with my decision. If I am not okay then I need to go back and get the bag and stew on it for awile.
When I do decide to keep a bag that I have been "stewing on" I have been happy with my decisons.
Right now my only unused bag is a special occassion bag, a Kristen metallic leopard and brown patent clutch with a woven chain handle. I passed on it the first time I saw it but I went back the next day to see if it was still there and it was! I was thrilled to see that I hadn't missed it and glad to be able to buy it. And I got a price adjustment on it a bit later and that made me feel even better.
I like it a lot but I haven't found an occassion to wear it yet. I am going to have to invent an occassion soon because it is more of a winter bag and I hate the thought of not using it until next fall. I like it a lot and I will probably keep it.
Why haven't you used your Audrey? Just curious..I haven't used mine.I actually have a coral amanda clutch that I bought last year to use for a dinner and never used - instead carried my regular handbag lol I just recently bought a croc audrey that I am still deciding on - I got a pretty good deal and still trying to determine if it is for me - this is my first croc and not sure yet.
I have a couple that I am returning - Peyton Satchel - I am noticing the around the handle the glitter is already peeling and that is not a good sign. The other is a poppy small bag - cute but not really in love - loved the deal I think more than the bag.
The other question should be how many bags have I cut the tag on and only carried once - now that is another story.
None. I buy bags far and few between so when I go get one I use it right away.
