soo cool...Luna Boston was a great store..I got my special order Treesje Magnolia bag (hot back then) that Treesje made specially for Luna Boston customers. Bought my Gusto bags from them. I'm getting so nostalgic again 🙃. Can't find any bag to drool over any more 🤣🤣🤣 one bag i loved on Posh was slouch red Fendi a girl was selling, great condition, $600...that bag was double drool worthy 🤣
I got my first ever RM from Luna Boston - a MAB Luxe in Fawn. It was also my first big online shopping purchase, and I was studying abroad and had them ship it to me in Australia instead of to my parents in western Mass because I was young and dumb and wanted it now, now, now!

That's not dumb! If you factor in cost per wear, you had that extra time to wear it more, thus making the bag cheaper!
 
I'm feeling the I-have-too-many-bags itch again. I have a number of bags that are absolutely beautiful, like works of art, but are either too impractical or their style just doesn't work on me. For example, the Polene Numero Un. It's a beautiful bag, but it's just so impractical for my needs.

I don't want to hold onto bags I won't use, but then I also want to avoid seller's remorse. (I sold a chocolate FDL-lined MAM a number of years ago and have regretted it ever since.)

Does anyone else have this problem? What have you done to resolve it? Have you kept a bag just because it was so beautiful, even though you've never used it?

OMG, so weird that you wrote this because I'm going through the same exact thing right now! Believe it or not, after buying the Beloved and realizing just how much I love it and know that I will use it A LOT makes me want to get rid of other bags. So I already sent 3 designer bags to TRR today, along with some clothing items. I'm going to bring a few lesser priced bags to consignment that I feel would do better there since TRR doesn't offer even 50/50 so it's not even worth selling. This Beloved bag has opened my eyes-LOL! I know, sounds weird but it's so true. I also want to let go of bags that are cumbersome to use. At some point in my life in the next few years, I need to slow down and really streamline everything in my closet. I don't want chaos in my closet, I want to feel calmness!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can do it!!!! :ghi5:

I am selling a bag that I never thought I'd sell, but my policy these days is if I don't use it, then it needs to go.

I also need to send some bags to TRR. I've never had trouble with them but every time I send them stuff, I can't help but think this will be the time when they lose my stuff. Yes! For the less expensive bags, their cut is brutal. I consigned a MAM with them and I think I got eight bucks from it. I would have made more money if I'd donated it and reported it on my return!

I'm afraid of TRR. I know a member here who sent them a perfectly fine MAB which they rejected...and you have no say on the price

Same here (selling a bag I never thought I'd sell)!!

I've been buying and selling with TRR almost 10 years now....so far, knock on wood, I haven't had any issues.

Yeah, not worth selling RM and the likes on that platform.

At the end of the day, I just want the constant buying/selling to slow down and just enjoy the rest of what I have....AKA purse peace!!

BTW, another bag I recently fell in love with is my SW Elisha!

Good luck with your downsizing journey!!🤞🏻🙌🏻

I am feeling the same, there are some RMs I just don't use. I have a little bit of seller's remorse with a Seafoam mini nikki and a black haze MAM. I REALLY want to use that seafoam mini nikki! It was so perfect!
The RMs I have I will keep, except for one, but I did put them in a cabinet so next time I see them in a few months I will love them again... Hopefully. I think it is absolutely OK to keep bags just to look at them. I mean I never hear people who collect other things feeling like they have to sell their baseball cards or stamps, cars or watches. There is a whole community of men who collect Apple watch bands and they have hundreds of them! They don't feel guilty, or whatever this feeling is.
So I have maybe one more to sell but keeping my emerald MAM, tomato MAM, and dark grey MAM even though they don't get a lot of use.
Sorry I wrote so much!
