Many of us have returned and/or sold bags over the years. Which ones do YOU most regret letting go of?

I have 3 major regrets:

1. UV Large Legacy Duffle - I bought this from FOS and returned it, thinking it was too bright. Now I wish I still had it!!

2. Dark Plume Phoebe....why oh why did I sell this bag? *cry*

3. Black Devin: this bag was awkward to carry, hard to get into, and heavy as hell, but oh so very special. I miss her.

Last Christmas I returned a dark plume tote. Today I realized that I don't miss it at all!

I have very few regrets. I don't return or sell something without a lot of thought. If I'm going to sell a used item, I always carry it before I list it to make sure I still want to sell it. When I sell something, I may feel sad when I'm packing it up and for about a week or two, then I'm usually happy after that. Sometimes I almost hope a buyer will return! I remind myself there was a reason I sold it.

I regret selling my sapphire Poppy hippie. I sold it because it was too flat and I had bought the larger Spotlight to replace it. If I had kept both, I could have used the strap from the hippie on the Spotlight, and I would have been able to cut the strap off the Spotlight, or maybe I would have been able to find an insert that would have made using the hippie work better. I like the placement of the handles on the hippie better.

I regret selling some fobs. They are worth so much more now. I put one on my watchlist, thinking about bidding, until I realized I used to have it.

Madison embossed crocodile Abigail in dijon (yellow). It was EXTREMELY limited, and I have never come across one since. I was a damn fool to return it. Still hoping I find her again someday!

Oh and I sold a gold queen bee key ring/fob and I don't know why. That was dumb.

I also sold my marine basket clutch and really don't know what on earth I was thinking.

I've never sold any bags. I've given 2 Coach bags away, with no regrets. I don't regret any returns. HOWEVER, I reeeeally need to downsize my Coach collection, but I can't commit to which ones to give away because I'm too afraid I'll regret it.

I've never sold any either, like Eve I think pretty carefully about a return too.. maybe overthink lol but it's hard sometimes practicality must remain because if i don't truly feel i will use it what is the point?

I sold my Legacy Amanda Flap. It was the cutest little bag, but so darn small! If they made it again, in brown leather with silver hardware, I would probably buy it again.

I haven't sold any, and have only given one of my bags away. ( I'm stingy! ) I gave my bottle green 1995 ( now officially vintage...I think. ) Praire Bag to my daughter. She doesn't really use it anymore since she's got 3 others to choose from. ( I'd have killed to have been a 17 yr old with 4 Coach bags under my belt! )
I don't think I'll ever be able to sell any. They are all special to me in their own ways, even if I don't carry them often. I know I'd regret selling any of them, so I just add to my collection. Soon, I'll need a purse room. I have it all planned out!

A Coach bag for me at 17 was an impossible dream!

I can't seem to part with any of mine either because I bought them all for a reason. I either loved the look, wanted the color or size, or it was very practical for a certain reason/event.

And.... I do have a purse room. ;) I'm single & child-free with a 2 bedroom house. Bedroom #2 is my handbag/accessories/dressing room. :D

I haven't regetted returning or selling any bags but there is one I wish I had bought when I got the chance. It was the large Candace with crossbody strap. I think it was $248 on the FOS and I was hoping it would come back cheaper in a later sale and it never did. It's impossible to find on ebay and I had a couple of the medium Candaces but the large would have worked much better for me.

I regret returning a Madison quilted chevron nylon Lindsey 70th anniversary bag. Every time I see one I am reminded of my bad decision (which is often since my BFF bought one at the same time I did)[emoji5]️
