I'm sorry to hear that. Since we're all on TPF, it's safe to assume that we all love bags. I have a bag addiction problem which I've known for years. I buy all these bags and majority of the time I only use them once or twice, since I have so many. They just end up sitting there like decoration. Sad. I know I need to stop buying, but I can't help myself.
I do this also; don’t feel needlessly guilty about it. Some people spend their disposable income on expensive works of art, sculptures, antique rugs, designer throw blankets and pillows etc to give visual delight and happiness when they glance at them at home, and bags can have the same purpose and bring joy in the same way.I'm sorry to hear that.

I totally understand this. I've had this same dynamic with, of all things, notebooks -- since I was a kid. The cooler or more beautiful the notebook, the less likely I am to use it, because I don't want to mess it up.
I hope you reconsider, especially with the glitter keepall, though. There's nothing wrong with admiring a beautiful bag and not using it like a workhorse. You worked hard to be able to afford it in the first place -- you get to determine how you interact with it.
I agree with everything @nicole0612 said!
I'll also add that you always give such great advice to other tPFers -- I am sure if it ever gets to a point where the number of your lux bags is impeding some aspect of your life, you'll know it's time.
I sold *a lot* of bags this year to finance several LV bags I wanted before that February increase (think it was February), like the Noe in damier azur, Petit Noe in monogram, Pochette Metis empreinte, etc., and also to finance my late entry to the SC Bag fandom obsession.
But I actually don't really fall out of love with bags I buy, whether it's LV, Coach, YSL, or contemporary bags like HOBO, etc. etc. (I just simply love bags. That's why I'm here with y'all.)
I released these LV bags (among other brands) this year after a lot of soul-searching:
Phenix in black epi
Haumea in galet
Graceful MM DE
Flower Tote in coquelicot
Pochette Metis reverse
SpeedyB 35 DE
Noe epi in piment
Petit Noe in indigo
Each one hurt in its own way (and if I were to win the lottery, I'd happily repurchase them all!).
There are three more LV bags I would love to have by fall -- I'm thinking I may have to cut even deeper in my stash. But the bags I am down to, my concern is that I would most likely break down and repurchase down the road, so it would be help out in the long run. The question is how to finance vacations and all the other stuff I want to finance in between, lol.
Maybe at the end of each year we should do a montage of all the bags we let go of that year. Kind of like the Oscars "in memoriam" segment...

That's great advice. Thank you, Purse Chakra!I agree with everything @nicole0612 said!

I deff want to get rid of my Speedy b35 in DE but not sure about Speedy b 25 Azur. speedy b 25 is my all time fav bag but I was never a DA fan. I only got it to complete my trio lol
I actually released my 2015 Retiro my first LV and oldest bag. Why? I was not using it anymore and it felt heavy. I am a firm believer of using my LVs. After 2 years of forcing myself to use it and it being uncomfortable I made the move. So far no regrets. I kept the lock and key charm with my initials.
I let go my petit Noe. Beautiful classic bag. I never used it! I found it to be bulky and too big for me now. No regrets!
My pochette Métis reverse and V tote bb black and monogram. No more monogram bags for me, one (my speedy 35 Mon monogram) is more than enough. Now I'm all about out of production Tod's Sella bags, beautiful, understated and super elegant.
