I went back and read your original post. It seems the only reason you're considering selling is because they seem too similar to you. Is that still right? Since you're having such a tough time deciding, maybe they do both fulfill a purpose for you. I've sold things for that reason, and some I've come to regret, and some I didn't. But, the ones I've regretted have always cost me more to replace since prices keep going up. What am I saying? Be sure of your choice. If you're not positive about your decision, and you're listing them, you just might be surprised at the one you end up missing. If you don't need to sell right away (don't need the money right now), what if you put one away and force yourself to carry one for a few weeks, then put that one away and carry the other for a few weeks. Evaluate how you felt about them while doing that. That could siginificantly help in your decision. Remember, everyone is different and everyone's lifestyles are different, so what works for me could not work for you.

Understandable. Do you absolutely have to sell? Is there a reason why you can't keep both and use them for different reasons or for different looks with outfits? Think about why you got them in the first place. Take a break and come back to it.
This is such a thoughtful, kind and helpful response. I’ve had sellers remorse as well and it’s the worst!! I think you are right. I’ll sit on it for a bit. They are such gorgeous bags and very much my personality. Thank you bag friend!
I get it because I'm the same way! I fall in and out of love with my bags. One day I'll find it perfect in everyway and on another day not right for whatever reason. But I have a teeny tiny collection which is very special to me, so selling doesn't cross my mind.This is such a thoughtful, kind and helpful response.

I was a bit impulsive and bought too many luxury bags at the same time and really need to part with one. The 3 I was looking at are these 2 and my LV Epi Noir Alma BB but the Alma is the ideal size for me. I do have it in Damier Ebene as well so technically is still have a go to of that size that matches literally everything. I just come back to how timeless that piece is and how indestructible it is. I have to sit on this and really think it through. The envelope is also pretty indestructible and just gorgeous. I got it for a STEAL so it’s virtually impossible for me to take a hit in it selling it which is why I found that appealing but that shouldn’t be the only reason. The toy loulou is awesome all around everyday bag but it might not hold up as well with wear and tear. Ugh tough decision.
Yes my collection is also tiny. I accumulated them around the same time which is bad haha but I plan to have this remain my collection for a long time. I have a Speedy B 25 which is my workhorse mom bag (I have 3 little kids) and I have the 2 Alma’s which are all I need if I’m with my 2 older ones. I have a dark beige mini Lou camera bag and then I was hoping to have one small black crossbody. Ugh decisions decisions lol.
Ok verdict - keeping both ♀️ I will reach for the toy loulou more everyday and it just feels so good to carry. The envelope is my dream bag and my only formal evening bag but can also go to daytime easily for more cost per wear so she’s a keeper too. With that said I’m on a luxury bag band for probably 2 years so I’ll be enjoying the eye candy in here haha. Thanks for everyone’s feedback!
Glad you found a way to make both work bc it didn't seem like you wanted to part with either. There's a reason you selected both and chose to purchase in the first place and hopefully you'll get use out of both.
