"What was I thinking?" Bag purchases you regret...

Wow...too many to mention them all...so so many. They mainly fall into the category of department store impulse buys. Sale table, etc. Very few of those purchases have ended up being a longtime favorite.
 
A few years ago my cousins introduced me to Juicy Couture brand. I so regret spending money on those bags... They are now a waste or space :(

Majority of my Juicy bags, some of my Tokidoki bags (I won't use them now - but I still love them :S - does that make it a waste?), some of my coach bags.

and I regret buying this Italian brand (though my parents think its better) blue leather tote that echos similar style to the Prada Saffiano Luxe Tote - I still want the Prada one... :/

and all the cheap trendy bags i bought to keep my shopaholic devil sedated. :s

And does it count as a "what the heck was i thinking" when i was going to buy the miu miu bow satchel for 390 euros and decided not to last minute? CRAZINESS. but then again when i was going to buy that bag I didn't research it (i only knew of miu miu but i didn't know their prices...) ahhhh so stupid >W<
 
My black Luella Bartley Gisele Tote. I bought it 2004(?), this bag was said to be "the new Birkin". I will never buy a "IT-Bag" again, since then I only buy bags with real Classics potential, or bags which are already classics.
 
When I was a maybe 14 or 15, I saved up $1k to spend on vacation. I wanted an LV Keepall and could've bought it (they were about $700 at the time) but instead bought an Emporio Armani duffle on sale for $220 and blew the rest on throwaway Armani Exchange/ French Connection-type clothes.

I ended up buying the Keepall a couple years ago- it cost substantially more and is probably of inferior quality to the one I could've bought years before.
 
A red canvas Gucci which I bought on sale a few years ago!I don't even remember its name....Something like Bamboo Bullet (????).... Too small for me....too difficult to open and close, I only wore it once!
 
I regret purchasing my coach ashley in the steel color. The outlet was having a $50 off sale when you purchased $250 worth of products. I purchased 2 bags, so with the discount, I only paid $90 for this bag. Even though the metallic color is very soft and subtle, I still never carry it because I'm not a big fan of metallics.

i regret buying a kate spade bag few months ago in blue. it such a beautiful blue color that looks really similar to balenciaga cobalt blue. i thought i need a blue bag, but at that time i didnt want to spend a lot..but now, she's still sitting in my closet, untouched with tag. poor baby. now, i promise to my self not to do this again...and now i'm saving up for the balenciaga day in cobalt blue..i'm sure i wont regret this :D
 
This is probably the only thing I ever bought for my wife that she absolutely refuses to wear, without saying so, of course. It's a metal Zero Halliburton. I bought it back maybe thirty years ago when I was in the marine/oilfield business, and everyone had a Halliburton briefcase, including me.

I'm surprised to see they are still around.
