Thanks @Lizzys. Actually my collection probably doesn't qualify as awesome anymore. Like a lot of people during the pandemic I did a major reassessment of my stuff--bags, jewelry, clothes, shoes. Purged a lot that doesn't work for me anymore, such as all the totes, and added some new things. The whole editing-down process felt really good. I'm very happy with my capsule Longchamp collection which now includes just a dozen bags.

You are so good at putting together a well thought out collection so I am sure your collection is still beautiful! I agree that since the pandemic, I am finding I don’t need the bigger bags. Do you mind me asking where you re-homed the bags you no longer use? Was it online or do you have a consignment shop in your metro area that you can recommend to me? Thank you. Your help is always appreciated!

I sent around two-thirds of the bags to The Real Real. TRR has their issues--mistakes/omissions in listings, slow customer service, etc--but they mostly get the job done. Years ago I sold my own stuff on eBay and elsewhere but I don't want to deal with that hassle now and TRR is an easy solution. Plus, as far as I know, many other popular online consignment operations like Fashionphile and Ann's Fabulous Finds don't accept Longchamp bags, unless perhaps the higher-end ones. The rest of my re-homed bags I took to a local consignment shop near me. You probably already know this, but Longchamp bags don't have great resale value, wherever you sell them (actually the handbag resale market has largely tanked for many brands). Still you get a little something and contribute to upscale recycling of sorts. And the purging/reorganizing feels good.

Thank you so much for your reply and advice! I didn’t even think of TRR and now I just have to figure out which bags to let go. I feel like I must get rid of a few to have room for something new. It was so much easier letting go of shoes. Thanks again!

Hi ladies, I bought a new le pliage expandable travel bag. It comes with the second pocket as well. Is it true? I bought the bag online and official website doesn't seem to indicate so.

Thanks in advance :D
