Over the years I've also had a lingering feeling that I simply cannot be a "true" BVette without a Cabat - but I have always ended up resisting, or at least so far (but if I find a Peed-in-da-Pool Mini some day, my continued resistance is likely going to be futile).

What has always stopped me from pulling the trigger is partly price (how many Montaignes could I get for that same amount?) and partly that I have no earthly idea in what circumstances I would ever carry a Cabat, as it is all I can do to fill up a Montaigne for day to day use, and I already have a great bag for when I need to carry just a little bit more, such as when travelling, which also fits comfortably over my shoulder (my Bella). Of course I feel much the same way about the Knot, but I did nevertheless go for both special orders and I don't regret that - although again I have few occasions to carry them but I like to just take them out and look at them from time to time!

I was thinking about a pre-loved one, so prise wise it's not THAT far from my hobos :)
But in general, yes, i am thinking of number of days/occassions to wear it and i don't feel that i cannot do without it, so probably Grietje is right, it's just not the time... one day it will 'click' ...probably....

Well when I was a SA I always felt the that a complete BV collection would be
1 Veneta
1 Sloan or Pyramid bag
I Cervo bag
1 pillow in a size that you like
1 Montaigne
1 knot
1 Cabat

Then you would have a bag for every occasion
Since I was a SA. Many bags have come and gone but these bags are the core of the Iconic BV line

I always loved the original ball bag
I like to be organized and with those 4 pockets it would be impossible not to be organized
Plus the shape and strap were great
It stayed on your shoulder and fit beautifully under your arm

But I love my large belly veneta

Ooh pretty. Okay maybe it doesn't look like a nightclub in that lounge but still... :graucho;

LOL. It's the Gordon Biersch at LAX T1. I am of course the most stylish of the lot hanging out here. It's school vacation week and this place is exploding with tourists and a few biz travelers like me.

I got this close to a storm trooper! He wasn't interested in arresting me.

Recently I started using an app called Stylebook to keep track of my purses and shoes inventory.

https://appsto.re/us/coOau.i

I punch in the price of each item and add a picture and other info (season, color, etc.) I can keep a log of which one I wear using the calendar feature and it automatically calculates price per wear for me.

I think I'm going to use this to help me in my collection management. Items that haven't been used for a certain period of time should be rehomed - just like library items that haven't been checked out should be weeded.

I don't feel that way. I have bags that I don't use very often, but I love owning - knowing that for that special occasion or to wear with those particular shoes I am cover bag-wise.

I am impressed, however, by your effort to keep track of your use of your bags, and I hope you will keep us informed on how it goes.

Trying VERY hard to practice "detachment." It's super hard, I must admit.
