Thank you! I can’t imagine wanting another one, but I’ve said that before!

I’m 69 now and I’m definitely having a “Use it or lose it” view of my things including handbags & jewelry. Although it’s definitely easier to carry a Nero clutch when wearing dark wash jeans, I’ve decided that I also need to carry the mist one on a regular basis. If it shows wear because of use, I still feel it’s a better investment than letting it sit in my closet for fear of that wear.
I’m wondering when someone here will decide on the larger pouch version and post about it.....
I'm 62 and am adopting the same type of view. Have sold two or three and have half a dozen on the block, I'm keeping only the ones that work for me no matter how much I love the ones I'm letting go! No point in having a closet full of bags I'm not carrying. When I first started buying Bal and BV I was experimenting and since I didn't have many retail opportunities to try some of the styles, I purchased pre-loved, hoping the styles would work. Sometimes they did but the colour didn't. So now I have a better sense of the styles and colours that I'll carry as opposed to taking out and fondling once in a while then putting back on the shelf. Those bags deserve a better life
.I retired at 63 and that changed everything....although it didn’t happen quickly. But when I no longer needed to carry whatever I’d need all day, I had a lot more choices. The nodini was instrumental in getting me down to clutches. It was like a clutch with training wheels (strap). I still carry my remaining nodini’s but not as often as I used to. I no longer feel like I’m building a collection. Like you, I’m just keeping and carrying the bags that work for me at this time in my life.I'm 62 and am adopting the same type of view.

It’s a love fest around here.....(sorry about all the reflections)

You’re rocking this really well! Love it!
i am thinking of one in large, i really liked them when i tried them on in the boutique
But i don't really NEED one, and i am torn between Lava (which i LOVE) and Nero, which makes more sense for maintenance and wear resist
i am taking my time, i know myself, i'll get one eventually, but i will think over, weigh the reasons and decide slowly
The mist is on its way [emoji847]. She’s still working in nero and lava for me to try.
I totally see you with lava, given your love for gorgeous reds.
My green arrived today. The color is very happy and fun and it’s a cutie of a bag. Like a little clam.
Sadly the construction of this one is off and I’m returning it. The green is so unforgiving of any flaws. Note the bulging weave below. And because the leather is bunched you see the sides of each strip (which are lighter) immediately making the bag look used or older.
The side view really bugged me. See how it’s not centered? 
Diane shared she didn’t have this issue with hers so I hope it’s an anomaly. I’m not going to try for another for the time being.

That is such a happy colour. Pity about the construction flaws. They would bug the heck out of me too.
The color reminds me of @Phiomega 's Irish Green pillow. Definitely a cheerful color. I hope the style works for you and that perhaps you are waiting for another one that is constructed well?
So true. I've been actively rotating my bags and what I have now are ones that truly work in terms of color and style. I'm happy each time when I use them. Those that I had not touched for a long time or if I am reluctant to use it, then it is an indicator to me that another person might find it useful instead.
I gave away a lot of things since February. The apparent joy from the receiver affirms that these things deserve a better home.
Gosh it really is off center. I usually cannot see what others see as flaws, but this is obvious even to me.
It’s here! The small mist with strap. I love, love, love it but am scared of the color. I might go with Nero just to be safe.
I just got home and don’t have time to load it up and try on properly. I will tomorrow. I wanted to snap a few pics for you all to see.
