This thread is hilarious and unnervingly close to the truth in many instances. The dumbest/oddest reason I've used, typically for secondhand bags: "I have to make sure somebody (me) who appreciates this bag gets it." Why should it matter to me where in the universe a bag ends up once it's sold? And why would somebody else not appreciate it at least as much as I would? It's not like the bag is talking to me, right? Right??

Along these lines, spouse refers to my collection as the Purse Museum because often the bags just go there to be appreciated and viewed, opened up and then stored back in their dustbags, examined, practice packed, and then back in to rest. I have a lot of admiration for people who use and thoroughly enjoy their bags. I am not quite there yet.

Well, I think my OMG Closet is right up there with your Purse Museum. My DH refuses to open the door to mine. :death:

I had a flight to Vegas for March Madness, March 16, 2020. I had to cancel it because that's when Covid locked down everything and March Madness was cancelled. I had already packed my Dooney tote and decided it was going to be my new go-to carry on bag. Fast forward two years later, I'm finally going to March Madness this month. I was so excited to finally carry my tote I pulled it out the other day to start packing it, only find out the laptop I bought last year to replace my the laptop I had in 2020 is too big for the tote. :sad:
Is my disappointment a good reason to buy a new tote bag? (Full disclosure: I have two or three tote bags that easily fit my laptop and would make good carry on bags. :lol: )
