Darn these holiday sales! I keep finding bags that I want AND on sale, bad combination for me. Many of these I haven't used yet so I'll have to probably have to part with a few. I live in a town with no shopping (small Dillards & Macys that's it), so I do many internet orders & as a result make a lot of returns.
1. Guccissima Sukey Hobo in Off White
2. Ted Baker Crinkled Leather in Purple (Berry)
3. MBMJ Twisted Q Lil Riz in Brick (Red)
4. MBMJ Classic Q Natasha in Black
5. MBMJ Classic Q Natasha in Dirty Martini
6. Isabella Fiore Dream Weaver Jackie in Black
7. Brahmin Manning Anita Shopper in Golden Amber
8. Brahmin Louise Rose Satchel in Emerald
Wow didn't know it was that many until I listed them out.:nuts:
 
Only A Lancel, Premier Flirt in Dark Red... Thanks to the forum ;)

But I think I'm gonna sell it and buy a very old vintage Chanel... because the Lancel is too heavy, and a new Chanel too expensive !

I don't know yet what bag would be the best for me...
I would like a medium bag (big enough to have ALL my stuff, and small enough to relieve my shoulders),
chic...but also all-purpose (I don't want to be attacked by a crazy fashionista or a drug dealer, two species that abound around my place.),
black or dark red,
leather,
with one or two or more pockets and not a main compartment too big (or I'll never find my stuff, which is, to me, the problem on a Premier Flirt and every drawstring purse).

That's why I think a Classic Chanel (with the Mademoiselle locket, its a classic, right?) would be a good option. And nobody would think its a real one, haha.

Oh, and the thing that made me crazy with the Lancel, is that it is now made in china, and I want a bag made in France, or Europe at least. (What do you call it ? Chauvinistic ? Well, maybe...)
 
I bought my first Chanel (In the Biz.) Flap, my first Balenciaga part-time, and also bought a Carlos Santana knock around tote for work.

I bought and took back an Alexander Wang Rocco and sold a Michael K. Hamilton and Michael Kors Astor tote on Ebay. I'd say I've done pretty well this year.
 
Oh my! I have bought 11 bags this year (so far). However, of the 11, I ended up returning 2 and selling 5 after a few months. So that's a net of 4 bags that I did not have on January 1st.

I also sold 9 bags that I had bought last year or earlier. I have been downsizing and resructuring my collection. I am down to 7 bags.

As for what I bought, it's a bit of a shame actually:

5 YSL ( a patent Roady, 2 Easy, and 2 Downtown; I have the beige Easy and black downtown left)
2 Prada (both now gone)
3 BV (I returned one)
1 Dooney (returned)

My best purchase of 2011 is still, without a doubt, my Beige YSL Easy. Although my most recent BV comes a close second!
 
2011 - LV Speedy 25 in Ebene (combination birthday and anniversary present). No plans to buy any more this year, I've got a total of six (others aren't LV) and feel like I have enough for now.
 
In 2011:

Cream Miu Miu Matelesse Coffer
Blush YSL Bow bag (pre-owned)
Brown Kooba Kelsi (A steal from TJ Maxx)
Black Marc Jacobs Minetta
Slate Cole Haan Sharapova Satchel (Small)

Still planning to buy (This year or early next)
Brown Miu Miu Matelasse Nappa Leather Flap Bag
Kooba Audrey in Berry
Kooba Dakota in Teak
Marc Jacobs Classic Dash
