Chanel Reissue 226 in Burgundy with gold hardware. Saw it in Las Vegas last November but didn’t want to pay the almost 30% CDN to USD exchange rate. It’s on my HG list. Along with the neutral Hermès Jige Elan - could have got Gris Asphalt but couldn’t spend the money at the time.
 
This one got away. Sold out before I realized how much I love my LV Pochette Métis in reverse monogram and how much I would use this one!

This Prada inside bag. Medium. Outside is leopard printed pony hair and inside is red. Oh my gosh, just describing it makes me so remorseful because it’s SO ME!!! Red is my favorite color and omg leopard too?!?!

It was at the OUTLET!! Ugh!! Such a good price!! (60% off the original price). I hesitated because it was felt pricey, even after discount. I was so stupid and comparing the discounted price to the other outlet bags (plain bags, nylon bags). So I immediately went “nope” to the price.

When I got back to the hotel I was like nooo what did I do! It wasn’t even THAT expensive. I should’ve gotten it.

I still think about it. Sigh.

I love this bag!!
 
I've only been on a wild search for the Gucci Crest Boule in the diamante canvas for about ten years now. Sniff!!!! I'm not even sure why any more cause it's pretty played out already and I have tons similar to it but I just can't stop the search until it is in my closet. It's my bag OCD acting up again. crest boule.jpg crest boule 2.JPG
 
I have 3. When I was doing a sale purchase on Mulberry.com a few years back I chose a Tillie instead of a Bays or an Alexa. All were about the same price. Ended up trading the 4-times-used Tillie for a Rocco. Haunts me still. Managed to skip TWO now-lusted-after bags for something I didn't like in the end - the horror! :faint:

The third one was the DvF Ready-To-Go tote. Well, when I say WAS, I really mean that - I scored a preloved, mint condition and picked it up yesterday! :smile: It's in black croc print. I did consider getting the gingham colorblock version on the Outnet, but I think it would have gotten old for me pretty quickly. No chance of that happening with the black one. :hbeat:

Hmmm,,,really...I have always liked the Tillie a lot better than the Alexa and the Bays. Hey, wonder where my Tillie is, btw. I bet my sister borrowed it and never returned it. Haven't seen it in years. Grrrrrr....:annoyed::annoyed::annoyed:

I do like the Tillie satchel but the one I had, Drawstring, just didn't do it for me. I did look at a preloved Midnight Tillie a while ago...
I did get the Alexa in the end - I've had her since last August and the love is still strong. Just the perfect bag!

You should def get your Tillie back if she's your favorite. Take a handbag hostage if necessary, all is fair!
 
Chanel City Rock flap bag. It had basically everything I was looking for in a Chanel bag but I didn't buy it because I was hesitating on the price and I worried that it wasn't "classic" enough. I had the chance to buy it in a burgundy color at BG last year, but I passed on it because my heart was set on the black. I ended up buying a Chanel boy bag instead, but kind of wish I had bought the Jumbo. The price increases are ridiculous.
 
Loewe Baroque Amazona. Didn't have the money at the time as I spent it on a PS1, that I ended up hating. Buy the time I had the money, it was sold out everywhere. Kicking myself and I still hunt for this bag on EvilBay.

A pre-loved, good as new,black Fendi mini peekaboo that literally got bought in less than 12 hours after I saw it! I had to research just to be sure it’s authentic- and it was - and it was...poof! Gone :sad: I don’t think I’m over that yet
