What's the bag that got away?

Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Natasha in cognac colour. About 1 year after that bag was discontinued I saw it on the subway. I did not know the brand and it was the first time I saw that bag, but I fell in love with the golden birds immediately. Sometimes I search for it on ebay, but somehow the interior linen puts me off every time I find one. I think it does not work with the rest of the bag and it is too busy for my liking. Nevertheless this bag was my first designer bag I wanted to have. [emoji4]

I actually really liked this Mischa Barton bag I bought on Ebay in the UK, it was a brown hobo with a lovely braided strap that stayed on my sloped shoulders! But it was flawed and the strap broke :( I found out from someone else that had the same bag that theirs did the same!
 
A Celine Box in Plum liege from Cannes France! OMG that colour is TDF! I was so close but I had already purchased 2 Chanels and 1 Trio on that trip so I had to hold back. When I came back to Australia I was kicking myself :shucks:
 
Two. My first Chanel that was absolutely stunning but that I eventually returned because of buyer's remorse. Twenty years later, I have tried everywhere to locate it but it can't be found. Second, a Michael Kors Bette satchel (lambskin leather with faux python trim) that I saw last summer that I hesitated on. Tried to get it recently. It is gone except for the large size.

There was a black Marc Jacobs sequin little stam a few years back that was insanely cheap. Like under $100 cheap. I have no idea why I didn't buy it. It was extra stupid of me.

I wish I hadn't passed on a sample pink AW Rocco, sold a sample black laser cut Rocco, and sold an iridescent silver python MJ Small Venetia
 
The bag that got away is lightly pre-loved AW white inside out bag with BHW. Technically, it is mine. I bought it off ebay and somehow the seller sent it to my in-laws' house instead of my house. It's been there since March. Unfortunately, I don't think they will come visit me until June.
