Completely understand about trying to purchase a defect-free bag. It can be troubling at times. However, I know that I could never limit myself to one or two or even five bags. I change my bags out too often for that...sometimes daily to match my outfits and accessories. A Neverfull is a great every day tote, but then what about a satchel, cross-body bag, shoulder bag, clutch, etc.? And don't even get me started on bag colors, types of leather, and hardware color choices! The Alma is a really nice, sophisticated hand bag, but I wouldn't carry it every day. There are just too many different styles and uses for bags to limit myself to just a few. That's why my MK collection (currently 13 bags in 6 styles) is so important to my entire handbag collection. They fill out all the different styles, colors, leathers, and hardware that I'd need while still coming to less than the price of 2 LVs. I love my LVs (and one Chanel), but they aren't every day bags.[emoji4] Neverfull and Alma really catch my eye.
I really do love MK. I love changing my purses out and trying new ones.
I just don't think it should be such a process to get a bag that's free of damage/defects. Like I said it's disheartening and makes me question spending the money every time. [emoji53]
I don't *think* I'll be selling off my stash anytime soon... But I do think about it when this happens.... But then again if I did I bet I'd be too wrapped up in the cost of the LV to actually enjoy the bag [emoji16]
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I had thought about starting a new thread about the subject to hear others opinions.
