A lot!
Recently I returned the Legacy python deep port flight clutch I got at the outlet. As much as I loved it, I can't downsize enough to carry a clutch. Yes, I tried putting my things inside and then returned it. How else would I know it wasn't going to work?

I also returned the Legacy dragonfly and raspberry textured Carrie. Both were just too big and heavy for me, and I probably was too influenced by tpf when I bought them.

I returned lime duffle because I hated the color, rugby perforated duffle because I got the Rambler in the same colors, and a couple of haircalf Candaces because they were damaged in shipping. It took 3 tries to get a perfect one.

I returned a peony Isabelle I had gotten at the outlet because the leather was too grainy. I found a nicer one at Macy's.
 
Most recently was a grey pebble leather mini Tanner. Bought it at Macy's and returned it soon after. The reason being, the break-away zipper. I didn't realize how annoying it would be.
 
I have a small madeline I bought several months ago, still has tags on it. I grabbed her because she was the only one there and with all the discounts, was $149 - couldn't pass it up!! However, she's going back as soon as I'm able to make the trip to the FS. She is very pretty and a very classic style but everytime I pick her up, it just doesn't feel right. Maybe she's a little to formal/fussy. Most of my bags have very clean lines - zoe, totes, phoebe, kelsey.
 
Black/Brass Isabelle - for some reason I didn't like that bag in black, especially with the brass hw
Willis - I think it was Marine, didn't think I'd use that color too often
Grenadine Lizard Harper - too large for what I usually carry
Haley - didn't like not having a long strap, also too large
 
So far, just the Avery drawstring. My first two bags are not MFF, and I think it's ruined me! I opened the Avery when it came and I just couldn't do it, it felt so flimsy compared to what I have.

who knows, lol
outta sight, outta mind

I like your attitude! lol

But I'll play...for as many as I can remember.

Black leather/silver hardware Sophia...but bought her again and it's love.

Legacy Duffle in Sunflower I believe...too much of a black hole for me. I like to see everything in my bag when I open it.

Grey leather Isabelle...another black hole despite the apple green lining.

Red leather Maggie...too many compartments.

Katarina in Paprika...didn't like the slouch.

Parchment leather Brook....

I love the look of all the above bags but I'm slowly learning a bag has to be functional for me and what I carry in a bag (not much). I'm getting there...and I'm sure I've left several off the above list. Plus I've sold several locally.

FP bags have ruined me for the MFF bags. And I have a lot of factory bags from years ago. I don't know at what point they started "MFF" lines.
 
I've only returned one handbag for exchange and that was the Coral Lily. It was humongous- just like a mothership- and it just didn't work for me. I bought a red clutch, a ring and some shoes. I had ordered the Lily online. Even though it had the measurements, I just didn't realize until I saw it in real life. That experience has made me really super careful as far as size and strap drop and such. Those details make a huge difference.
 
I bought and returned the medium Pebbled Drawstring not once, but twice...once in Saddle and once in Eggplant...couldn't get past the brass hardware. Also bought and returned Midnight Oak Small Phoebe for the same reason - couldn't get past the gold hardware.

Bought a Cobalt E/W Saffiano tote with PCE and returned it because I felt guilty spending the money. Oh, how I wish I had kept that bag.

Also returned a Vermillion Saff crossbody tote because I didn't like the shade of red.

I'm sure there's more but I can't remember...
 
The original first generation Mama Sage in black/brass because it was just too big and it had the peeling hardware issue. Also, it had the "embossed" trim. Gag.

Legacy studded clutch from last year because it was too big, heavy, and awkwardly shaped for me. I just couldn't see a use for it in my life which is too bad because it is gorgeous.
 
My store gets such a limited selection. I have ordered many bags and just didn't love them. My most recent:

Madison Minetta in Acid Green - Cute bag, but too small for me.
Madison Small Sadie Flap Satchel in Acid Green - again too small (haven't returned yet, but going to).

I love the Acid Green, but I also love big bags. I feel so guilty about the Sadie. My store ordered it for me and then sent me a $50.00 gift card as a thank you. I think I'm going to mail it back, just so that I don't have to face the SA's.
