This is very me. Goodwill has benefited tremendously from my mistakes.

Currently Regretting: I just bought a Michael Kors red stud Grab Bag today (for cheap, which is why) and think...probably not...it's already annoying me due to stiff leather and clashing with my red leather coat. And I got a Coral Nikki (for cheap) from RM that is also already tiring me, colorwise. So most likely, both will be returned.

Constantly regretting: I can't say anything I own I will love forever. I've gotten myself pretty sick of Rebecca Minkoff (even though her bags are pretty nice) just by overindulging. And, she's getting too hot. I like to carry stuff that other people don't, so much.

I think I regret everything. I can't think of one of my bags I'm not sick of right now. I have about 15-20.

At this point, I just want to put everything into a plastic Target bag and call that my purse. Screw fashion. ;)

omg... this is me too.

i'm so sick of everything i have. i'd sell it, but i don't have time/hate selling.

Seems like such a waste, doesn't it?

Maybe I can use one of my Envirosax bags - i have a cute pink one with piggies on it:p

currently, my biggest regret is a 9605 Coach Hamptons satchel in orchid. I HHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEE the "fall-away" zipper. Ugh!!! I carried it like 3 times, and i hate to force myself to. Ugh!

I can say similar things about any of my bags, but that one grates my nerves the most right now, due to my hatred of that zipper. I live in Pacific NW, it rains, i need the thing to zip, I hate taking 5 minutes to zip the thing.

It would have to be my Cream Bianca Botkier. It is such a cute bag, and the leather is amazeing! However, I bought it in the CREAM color. BAD idea...Me+light colors=:tdown::push::shocked:

I made the exact same mistake, purchasing a Botkier Bianca that had the softest lambskin leather ever but which ended up being rarely used due to its light color.

I don't really carry small bags anymore, except for clutches and my Fendi, but I bought another Coach pochette last weekend - and I already have about 5 that I rarely use. I bought it very cheap on consignment, I still want to have it authenticated, but I think I'm going to return it for store credit and pick up some cute costume jewelry instead. I always complain that I can't afford a nice new big bag, but then I waste my money on a small bag I won't use - but on the other hand, when I do save enough money, it usually has to go to some emergency situation - sigh.

i've pretty much sold any bag i no longer loved...the most regretable was probably begging my boyfriend to spend thousands on the chloe python paraty bag, that i ended up selling for almost half the price! THATS a bummer...

Bought a BE Hug Me and realized the bag was NOT for me. Tried to sell it but it didn't budge. I ended up consigning it instead. :(

I ended up with such a huge loss with this bag, I'm upset. I got the receipt for this bag at my Consignment store and it turns out they sold it for so much less than what I got it for. Unfortunately when I went back to the store with my mom (I recommended the store to her) my bag was nowhere to be found. I'm not sure taking $50 for it is even worth it.

I'm never consigning expensive things ever again.

Another thing, it's not really a bag regret but.. I regret buying so many bags this month when I'm supposed to be saving up for the holidays :shame: :ban: :busted: But oh well, I still have two months to save! Plus the xmas money too, so I SHOULD be safe. Hopefully. lol. Thankfully the Nordies Men's Half Yearly sale wont happen anytime soon so I wont need to worry about presents yet.

I kind of regret that I bought my Chanel jumbo flap this summer. I love the bag and all, BUT I dont have the occasion to wear it that often. One day its raining, and then I wont take it to the school (college) etc. you get what I mean. I should have bought the Alexander wang coco bag instead, much cheaper and I could use it everyday. Maybe next year when I graduate, and get a car it will be more used.

sorry you feel that way. that sucks! yeah everyone on here has RM, but on the outside, you dont see anyone carry it really. maybe 1-2 girls out of hundred. she is getting popular but I've yet to see 15 girls carry RM at once (I always see that many girls carry LV, Coach, and some lowly brand like Betsey Johnson and Guess).

Oh man I really regret my Marc Jacobs Venetia in almond. It's the cutest bag and them most gorgeous shade of peachy tan, but I just don't use it. I'm so pissed I bought it.
Then there's my Chanel bag, another bad choice. I love Chanel bags, but I should have gotten the flap bag.

My Chanel Summer Nights Sequin Bag...it was totally gorgeous but I NEVER carried it. After I bought it I probably admired it a couple times then finally this fall, I decided to sell it. It was heart breaking but I thought if I really LOVED it, I would have at least carried don't you think?
