What a great topic. I’ve discovered I can go weeks or months before using a new bag. Not that I don’t like the bag, I do! There’s something about the feeling of, I still have something brand new I haven’t worn…

On the flip side, as soon as I wear it, I find myself wanting to buy something new. Because I don’t have anything new anymore! I know, it’s crazy, it’s twisted, I need help:whut:!!

I just bought two bags pretty close together in time. I waited a while before carrying the first and now I'm still carrying it, waiting to get in the mood to change. I'll probably go to an older bag before I used the newest one.

You're no more twisted than me. And I'm pretty sure there are people here more twisted than either of us.

I can wear a new bag as soon as the next day. Or I can buy a bag and it stays unused for months at a time depending on style.

I don’t really know why some just sit on the bench and can’t get into rotation straight away. They’re vintage/pre-owned mind you so it’s not because they’re too new/special. But I am happy to have them so even if they’re not a favourite everyday bag, I don’t stress too much about it.

We are on the same page. I always feel excited when I use them for the first time. Then I would have this urge to buy a new one after. Hehehe.

This used to be me. Usually it took me a week or a few but I was on the hunt the next month at the latest. It was only after I made the decision to love what I have that I could stop.

I use the bag immediately...I fall in love with bags and a new one is even put somewhere where I can see it all day, gawk at it worship it - my newest bag is sitting right next to me on my desk smiling at me :love:

I do that too. A new bag doesn't go into the closet right away even if I'm not using it
My bags are all preloved these days so usually I unbox them and then the next day I clean them inside and out as needed
Then I keep them out to look at for several days

Whenever I buy a bag in Las Vegas, I wear it right away. I've done that for WOCs and minis repeatedly. My last purchase there right before the shutdown of 2020 was a Chanel mini reissue which I wore the very next day. I've also purchased Givenchy bags there that I had shipped home. The Pandora I pretty much used right away. The medium G shopping tote that I got in April hasn't been used yet because I intend to use it for travel.

When I buy online or do charge sends, most of the time the bags are used at the soonest opportunity. However, there is one that in over two years, still has not been worn. It's a holy grail and even if it's not practical for my daily use, I don't think I'll ever let it go.

so you've made it a tradition to buy a bag when in Vegas :)
