A black Emporio Armani bag on sale which I really didn't like. I let the SA convince me how good it looked etc and being on sale was too tempting. I took it on holiday and used it but I just never really liked it KWIM?? Anyway, I couldn't return it because it was on sale so have already put it on consignment. Someone is going to get a near-new handbag for a great price because I was silly... Bummer!
A fake louie bag that my mom pressured me into buying at my aunts bag party because she needed the money
it was 75 dollers and its a piece of junk !
i dont like buying fakes but my aunt was so excited i had to buy something
i guess some people dont understand the difference between real quality and china town junk quality
i dont think any of the women at that party understood what the point of owning a designer bag is im buying it for the quality not the name on the outside of it so for me it was a waste of 75 dollers that i dont have the fake bag will forever sit in my closet

Worst bag mistake... Marc Jacobs Christy in Yogurt. It's beautiful, but too heavy for me and just doesn't hold my "stuff" comfortably. If I'd never carried it I could sell it BNWT, but I stupidly triedodor a few days to make it work. Terrible economy to try to sell it now. Hopefully I can do that early in 2010 and recoup some of my investment.
hdr4350, I don't think you wasted your money! That's a concept that the trade is making you feel. Even my niece is convinced that everyone should buy one really expensive bag and wear it every day. Now that I did that, I still tend to love looking at the trendy bags. It's in my blood. One day you will finally have that bag! I didn't save up, I just leaped. I figured who knows what tomorrow brings? I gotta live today and have it now so I bought a YSL Rive Gauche! It retails for $1595 and got it for $999. Both prices are enormous by anyone's standards. Am I crazy? Maybe. I am still looking at bags all the time. I haven't bought one yet because I just can't but I still can look! I have my eye on the Gryson Round sac bag now. It's an Italian lambskin leather and considered reasonable (approx. $400). Nauseating isn't it? That's considered reasonable!
A red Furla. I wanted a red bag so much but I could not find "the one" (also, I never had a red bag before). Eventually, I bought the Furla just because it was red, but it turned out a rather unpractical model and the following summer I saw the perfect red bag on sale 
However, by then I realized that I don't use a red bag that much....

plenty regrets......I keep buying all these lower tier designers instead of savings my funds to buy the ultimate Prada that I've been eyeing. I keep telling my self..."you can't afford it" yet still I've spend that same amount accumulating other bags....just doesn't make a whole lot a sense.
hey, I have the same regrets here. Well, at least Im enlightened now. If I can't afford the next classic and real quality bag, I'll just wait till I can.
^^ I agree with quality bags. I've "wasted" a lot of money on lower-end designer bags that I thought I really wanted, and then found out I didn't really like. But I think each time I bought a bag that didn't work for me, I learned a little more about what DOES work. So now I know exactly what I want/need/like, and am ready to actually save up for and take the plunge on a really expensive bag without taking the risk that I won't like it, after all.
Just received my white leather Dooney Chiara tote two days ago. I realized I'm afraid of having a white bag- bound to get dirty! - and although the quality astounded me, the bag was crazy heavy! I sent it back this evening.
C'est la vie! More money to buy a different bag!

I absolutely agree with you.. now I think of it, I could have bought "the bag" with all the money I spent on the bags I kind of like but not in love with.. It is quality over quantity!

Same for me too! Sometimes I have this idea of a bag I want to have.. (currently it is a patent leather bag) I saw several that I like because it fits the description. I'm trying so hard not to buy one simply because it is a patent leather bag. It is a big investment so I want to wait till I find the one that I absolutely love.
I love my LV Azur Speedy 30 BUT, I'm terrified to carry it since the last time I did I got lipstick on my vachetta! Fortunatley, babywipes took it off & it dried back to normal color but I am afraid of carrying/enjoying now even though I think the Azur LV is much prettier than the brown on brown, "Ebony" Damier. (Please no bag-slaps Ebony lovers)! I do want to get the Ebony Damier as a worry-free bag but I just think my Azur is prettier. too bad it scares me though & I probably won't carry her as much as the Ebony.
