If you have to I would say one of Pochette Metis bags since you have a duplicate! Or sell one of the totes (LV or YSL) since you preordered another tote. Make sure you're really ready to let go of the items before you say goodbye! The way I see it better to have an excess of items then miss an item a lot and have to pay to get it back!

I feel that you have several bags that serve the same purpose, with the same colorways.

I personally would say goodbye to the following bags:
  1. LV Petite Malle Souple Black Monogram: It's a trendy bag in my opinion.
    Might be better to get to get your money back when it's still on trend.
  2. LV Pochette Metis Black Empreinte: Your Neo Alma BB Black Empreinte serves the same purpose.
    I decide to keep the Alma BB as you already have another Pochette Metis.
  3. Saint Laurent Shopper Black Tote: You have another black tote in a comparable size coming your way.
Hope this helps and good luck with the downsizing! Keep us updated :)

Thanks for your input! I agree about the Pochette Métis and letting go of a tote, just need to decide which one now lol

That does help! Thanks so much. :) I really do need to stop buying bags that are similar lol.

I really like your collection and would be hard pressed to downsize. I tend to like lots of accessories to help organize a bag so the LV accessories wouldn’t “count” as a bag for me. I would use it to put makeup or organize other stuff and put it in one of my Larger bagS. Lol.

Then I would probably put the understated Saint Laurent tote and Mulberry bag in my suitcase for when I travel, since I don’t like to draw attention to myself. Boom, 10 bags! Lol

But if you were committed to getting rid of two bags (not counting the LV accessories which would be great to fit inside your totes), I would get rid of the chanel classic bag and the speedy. I just prefer the shape of your other bags for myself. Great taste! This was a real challenge.

Thanks for your input! I love your reasons to justify keeping it all lol! :) It’s surprising you picked the Chanel classic flap and speedy as they seem to be cult favorites! Although if I am being honest with myself I do use the classic flap the least as it’s the least practical out of them all. Anyways thanks again!!

Just stumbled on this thread and I'm curious to know what bags (if any) you chose to part with. I'm debating letting go of my PM black empreinte too...

Sorry haven’t been on here in a forever. I didn’t end up keeping the on the go tote after I saw it in person. Other than that I haven’t gotten rid of any others yet. I am planning to let the PM empreinte and the Pochette accessoires go though eventually, just haven’t gotten around to it. What are your reasons for letting go of your PM?

I think you should keep the pochette accessoires. It's a convenience bag to take when you only need to carry some small items or for a night out. It's a hard piece to get and its price has skyrocketed to over 1000!!
