Great minds think alike- I gave myself this year to wear the Reissue and I forced myself to use it. I think that’s why my daughter, who would have inherited it, said to sell. She said she’d rather get a Moynat from me, anyway. Hahaha! Yes! I’ve trained her well.

Oh yes, I’m limited in handbag funds, especially lately. I sold all my Hermès years ago and had $$$$$ to shop for almost anything my heart desired. I bought a couple of bags, saved some $/invested, treated my daughter to fun workshops and classes she still appreciates, and we had some fun over the top trips she’ll never forget. I’ve become quite particular with my purchases, especially since we’re looking at NYU and UCLA for colleges.

You are correct about the possibility of a pre-owned Reissue- they are out there, everywhere.

Thank you for your comments, your points are well taken.



Thank you for your caring words and your comments on my character. I try to be the best person I can. Life is difficult enough for so many, and there is so much anger in this world, it makes me sad. I want to be part of the healing- I want this world to be better for my child’s generation.

The mothers at my daughter’s school still have the high school clique mentality. My daughter has a few wonderful friends, who treat her kindly and are supportive. She has Asperger’s (brilliant, but socially challenged). They treat each other like gold. It’s so sweet. Their moms are like that, too, so when I had to interact with the power moms (who intimidate school staff and the school board), I had to power through the awkward snubs. It rarely happens, but I let them get into my head.

Moynat brings a smile to my face, regardless of my desire for Chanel. I don’t think I’m having an either/or moment. I think in time I could have both, but I think the Moynat would be used, the Chanel would be ($$$$$) cherished on a shelf.

Thank you again!

I'm sorry to hear that you are having health issues, and hope that your condition will stabilize/improve soon!

I used to have a closet with bags that was just sitting there gathering dust. I would take them out of their dustbags/boxes every now and then to admire, but never actually use them. Last year, I finally took the plunge and sold off bags that I haven't used for over a year - it totally stung initially but I haven't looked back since. I lost some money (so am now more prudent with my choices) and the sentimental value attached was irreplaceable. On the other hand, the memories remained and I felt so relieved to be able to start over.

I second the comments to give yourself some time - if you don't use the reissue (btw, still one of my favourite styles!) for say a year, then sell it and get something you truly love and can enjoy more. Life is too short to waste! On the upside, you probably won't lose money when you sell given how much those bags sell nowadays!

Wishing you all a very happy holidays, and many beautiful bags in the future!

I have also done something of a purge just this past week, cutting back to only that which I really love. Seeing how much money has come in from my (not even that large!) Hermes collection was a bit astonishing.

However I've already been in touch with Curtis about a Gaby BB, so clearly my addiction hasn't waned much. That said, it is refreshing to clean house and start over with new things, sometimes.

Ouch! I bet it was a shock to open your closet door and not see several bags after you sold them. I can understand the bag liberation you felt, too. I felt the same way. I sold 17 bags in two years time, and I’m down to three.

Yes, I think in time I will own another Reissue, but for right now, I should get a bag I love, that I will also use.

My daughter just reminded me of what I once said to her. Yikes! My words came back to bite me. Hahaha! I told her, “Just because you like it, doesn’t mean you have to own it. If it doesn’t work for your lifestyle, admire it from afar.”

I’m thinking that selling my bag will sting at first, but I can buy a Gaby after (give myself a minute) and smile at the remainder of funds in my fun money account.

thank you for your thoughts!
Happy Holidays to you!

OMG! 17 - that is so amazing! You must feel so free having gone through that process. If you feel like sharing, I am curious what the other two are besides the 2.55 that survived your edit? (And your daughter sounds wise beyond her years.)

I have a Gucci soho, a Reissue and a Moynat tote. I’m kinda wishing Moynat would create a coated canvas bag like a Gabrielle. I can picture a canvas Gabrielle-ish crossbody bag in the black/silver canvas with black leather accents/shoulder strap. :loveeyes:

I sold a Celine, a Ferragamo, one Prada bag and two wallets, four Chanel, four LV bags and accessories, and four Hermès. Phew! It does feel good. Perhaps just one more to go. :graucho:
Thank you! I may be biased, but I believe my daughter is amazing! :drinks:

Does anyone know when they will be introducing more colours in the Gaby pm size?

I’m thinking new colors will come out by February.
I notice February, April, July and October tend to be the main months I’ve seen new colors pop up, or I’ve seen new styles introduced.
Nubuck Gaby bags will be coming out in 2020.
You all will know when I hear anything and can post.
Happy holidays, everybody!
