I've only returned one bag and I don't regret it. It was the blue patent Madison shoulder bag. I've never sold any either. I know I should give some away, I get many requests, but I just can't.

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!
Gave my color block legacy duffle to my mother. I miss her, but I'm glad that my mom loves her. Not my picture:

I thought I was the only person stalking that bag! I was also thinking it would come back cheaper on FOS last year and missed out. I saw it on Tradesy in black earlier this year for $112 and missed out again. I finally found a nice pre-loved Cognac one on eBay last month and the ONLY reason I think there were no other bidders is that the buyer misspelled the name. She had it listed as "Candice".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 was going to sell my chevron Sophia until I decided to take it with me on vacation. It was the perfect travel bag. It could be squished into the suitcase, carried in nearly all types of weather and I didn't have to baby it. Every time I see that special creed and hangtag, I know I'll never part with it.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]️

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.

I'm almost relieved that Coach isn't keeping the quality up because it makes me feel better about having so many. I'm to the point where it would be very hard to part with any of them.This is how I feel, I have so many, and I really need to part with some and downsize (and I have sold some in the past) but I feel like the ones I have I can't part with, and with the change in design and leathers, I kind of want to keep the better leather ones for now.
I agree that it is now harder to depart with old bags. I purchase very few of the new bags because I don't care for the style, dislike the dark colors and poor quality fabric used for the lining, and am concerned about the durability of the cheaper leathers. I actually miss the heavy legacy bags with durable hard wear and leather.I'm almost relieved that Coach isn't keeping the quality up because it makes me feel better about having so many.
