How would you edit my collection?

[shopaholicsister]

Hi all,
I'm just curious...if this were your collection, would you change it at all? Sometimes I feel like I'd like to downsize but, as usual, there are also other items I'd love to add in the next year or two. My current wishlist includes a classic mini, classic mini top handle, heart bag (my current hearts are the crossbody/clutch and belt bag), something so black (preferably small or medium classic). I'd love to add purple and teal/green, maybe with the minis? TIA!

You have a really nice variety of sizes, colors, and styles. Which do you use most and least?

Evaluating based on functionality and style similarity, the few that seem redundant to me are the two totes (executive and the GST) the GHW casual daytime crossbodies (19 and the business affinity), and the silver/ruthenium hardware edgy shoulder bags (silver reissue and chevron RHW boy). If you're going to get something so black, I'd definitely consider selling the silver reissue or the chevron boy.

Do you use the bowler, slouchy shoulder tote and Mademoiselle clutch? You seem to gravitate towards shoulder bags so I am guessing they get used less? If you do use them, I would keep them since they are pretty different from the rest of the styles you have.

My least used bags are the two classic flaps in pink and blue, but I never meant for them to be my everyday bags anyway. Believe it or not, the bowler is one of my most used bags right now! I bought, sold, then rebought that bag in the past, so now it's definitely in my closet to stay

I don't use the slouchy shoulder tote (baby cabas) very often but love it when I do. I'm the original owner and not likely to get a ton of money out of it if I were to send it to fashionphile so I think I'd rather keep it for occasional use. The clutch is the timeless clutch and I use it a lot for nice dinners or other similar outings, so that's another for the definite keep pile.

The mini reissue is gold, not sure if that changes your recommendation at all. I did worry that a so black piece would make the chevron boy a bit redundant so that could be a good swap once I find my so black! And I totally agree about the 19 and business affinity. The BA is more my style but the 19 is another of my most used bags now, so I'm torn between them for now.

I could probably get rid of both the executive tote and GST since I don't use them much anymore, but I'm worried about seller's remorse. I recently got removable top handles for the GST so I can carry it like a lady dior, so let's see if I wind up wearing it more as a result. I'm hoping to get my first birkin in the next year or so and then it would make even less sense to keep the executive tote.

You have a lovely collection, I love the champagne gold, your pale pink and the navy boy. So beautiful!
I wouldn't sell a piece unless you're very sure about it. If you don't know 100%, you can either try to use it a lot and see how you feel about it; or put it aside and don't think about it for a few weeks and see if you miss it and want to use it.

Given this very logical explanation, I don’t know that I would sell or rehome any of them. If you buy the so black minI (I have it in chevron reissue), I still think the boy bag is different enough. . . .

Agree with @880. It seems like you have thought out and have a place for each one, so I’m not sure I’d sell or rehome unless you’re sure!

I'd want more colors with a top handle. But I just really like carrying a top handle.
