Having come to realize there were loads of bags in my collection that no longer saw the light of day, and wanting to splurge on a couple of designer bags, I took the plunge and had a ruthless sort out of my bags. Those that had not been used for at least a year or that didn't spark any enthusiasm when removed from their dustbag were put in the "exit" pile.
Depending on the bags, some went on online auction sites (easy to sell designers such as LV, Tory Burch) and others not-so-high-end, went to a local consignment store.
I also had a sort out of my jewellery and took broken gold chain, single earrings etc to a local precious metal foundery.
With the money from my sales I was able to buy a Chanel GST and a LV Ana clutch (in my photo below). I now own just 12 bags (versus 20 previously). These are, left to right, starting at the back :
FURLA Piper tricolor
CHANEL GST black caviar SHW
CHANEL Jumbo black caviar SHW
FURLA Mini bag cream
FURLA Mini bag red
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO tan shoulder bag
FURLA Mini bag black
TORY BURCH Adalyn clutch gold
JIL SANDER turquoise pouch
LOUIS VUITTON Ana clutch
BOTTEGA VENETA silver shoulder bag
This doesn't mean I won't be buying any more bags though! What do you think would be a useful addition? I am toying with the idea of a Chanel WOC or a larger day bag for spring summer such as the YSL sac de jour
