I have never rebought something I have sold, even though I have been tempted to many, many, times. I try to remind myself why I sold it in the first place and that I like the bag I replaced it with better!

What is it about the bag that makes you pause and reach for another? Maybe selling this one and purchasing another style, but in the same color, would work better for you?
It is not the shape of the bag. That I have another color and wear it. I think it is the color is so bright and I am just not a bright pink person. It doesn't coordinate with my clothes either.

I know exactly what you are talking about! Pink is my favorite color, but I only have 1 pink bag (it’s my HG) and the Fashionphile tags are still on it. However, I have no issues using my pink SLGs at all. I think I am just a neutral bag person at heart.

It's quite spacious. I put like 10 cards + bills and coins :smile:
Does anyone use metro key pouch with keys? I keep wanting to streamline wallet and keys but always end up keeping them separate, in different pockets even. It keeps the wallet safer from all that metal, and makes it easier to give the kids the keys (young enough to fight over who gets to open the door) or to tuck them into one of the Crosby crossbodies :thinking:
 
A story. Was at a museum in Chicago not paying enough attention to my purse which was sitting in an empty stroller, and turned around to a man with his hand in the purse. Because it was a small(?) metro tote deluxe, the bag is unnavigable to anyone but me. My mini wallet lives in one fully zipped pocket, my phone elsewhere, nothing else of true importance, everything requiring two hands because it’s a slouchy bag. If he had actually managed to grab anything, it would have been one of those puke bags they have in Dr offices, with the plastic rims (empty/clean :P). So, hooray for MZ Wallace.

I keep trying to migrate back to smaller bags but I’m due to have a baby in November and somehow feel like I need flexibility of space in a bag! But as sunblock season ends maybe.

I don’t remember if it was the museum or the art institute but I remember they made a big point of telling us to keep your bags in front of you at all times backpacks must be worn backpacks. My niece had a mini backpack purse it was a Fjallraven so it had the double handles on top. At some point she took it off carry it by the handles and was stopped and told she had to put it back on backwards and the employee wouldn’t leave her until she complied. I remember thinking it was really odd.

3 new colors released emerald, purple crushed velvet (only in 3 styles all new styles), and a charcoal denim with gold studs. I like the look of emerald but feel like I would like to see it IRL before buying before I like green bags tend to not photograph well. The purple velvet looks very luxurious but not my style especially with weather (rain/snow). The charcoal denim with gold studs is interesting I like the gray gold color combo but the denim look/lines make me feel meh about it.

If you somehow lose your keys it can be a risk to have something with your address attached. Just something to consider as benefit for keeping them separate

Hi! I remember being told the same thing. But, I thought they wanted visitors to carry bags and backpacks in the front so they don't bump into things or accidentally topple over the art displays.
