Mine would be LV artsy empreinte in white. I went to LV shop specifically for an artsy monogram canvas. It turned out to be too big and looked weird on me and then the SA brought out this one. And like you said, it grabbed me, the cream color, the soft leather, the stunning handle. I was pretty sure this bag gonna be 'the bag' that I'd be finally content and use it every single day. However, I came home, took some pictures, blogged about it and let it sit there for weeks before I realized this wasn't my style. It's too white and the leather is too delicate to be carried every single day.

I'm letting this gorgeous bag go eventually. The good thing, though, is that I could have some fun shopping for the new one:)
 
I bought a Longchamp small tote (Le Pliage) after seeing my aunt with it. I thought it looked so cute at first, so while I was at the Bay Area I actually bought one since I liked it on her. I went home and realized this bag wasn't for me at all. I told myself it was just the color (which was a dark lavender color), but I ended up hating it more and more. Tried to sell it but only got $30 off it. And it cost me $95 + 9% tax. I hated myself after that. Never again.

Next time I buy a nylon bag, I'm sticking with MZ Wallace.
 
My entire LV collection, especially LE bags (ie. whenever I would look at the cherry blossoms, I'd think 2003...it drove me crazy!)....also regret buying bags with big logos (hated that I was a walking advertisement!).
 
I once bought a couple of bags that were on sale online for a price that's much lower compared to in store sales. But when I got it upon arrival I didn't really like them as much as I thought I would. I now use one as a school bag and gave the other away to my sister.
 
My Lockheart Giselle - I don't know why but I decided I HAD to have it. It was a really lovely bag but too heavy for me and it was the most I had ever spent on a bag. :P What a mistake.
 
This Marc Jacobs Cherry Blossom Venetia. I bought it pre-owned, but never used it. Pink bags are just not me. I still think it's pretty though!

I bought a lot of bebe purse because they come out with cute one every year...however the handle and straps tend to weigh my shoulder down and make it heavier..its just laying in my room brand new and unused.
 
Hmm...not sure if I regret it yet, but I feel pretty self-conscious now wearing my LV Monogram Vernis Brea. It just feels so obvious, and I feel people looking at me. I've taken lately to wearing less obvious designer bags, like my Celine classic box. Time will tell if I regret the LV purchase... :(
