Stresa, loved the look but that big vachetta flap and closure was annoying whenever you had to open and close the bag ( which is several times a day ) Neverfull ( straps were too short and thin to wear over your shoulder), speedy 30, opening too small for my liking .
 
Mono Noe GM! I bought it and sold it twice. I found myself getting annoyed due to the base bumping into things and the fact that it was just a large bottomless pit. I love the look of it, but not the reality. :(
 
My empreinte speedy Bandouliere 25. I can fill it much because it tends to get too heavy. I love my speedy B DA 30 as its canvas and much lighter. Luckily I sold the empreinte after only using it once
 
I regretted the SpeedyB 30 in Amethyste Empreinte - it was just too big & felt kind of heavy while it was empty. I ended up returning it. (Of course I still look at it once in a while & lust over it. LOL Just so pretty!)

I also regret the Multicolore Sarah Wallet - I way over paid for it, and it is just too big. The Emilie is much more useful for me.
 
My regrets are a pair of Neverfulls, the ones that came out with the V on them.

I personally cannot stand the vachetta leather. I baby my bags and that just makes it impossible for me to just relax and carry the bag in peace.

This is the reason I cannot bring myself to buy the Delightful MM in DA. I would be so worried all the time about the vachetta.

Seems like you must find out what you like before buying more :smile:

I made two designer bag purchases which I regret in the beginning. Luckily only half expensive as LV bags but still. This made me think through what I want and what I like with bags and I also read a lot about "10 bags you need in your collection" and headlines like that. I also made some rules: I always have to research a bag before I buy it (must need to know all the pros and cons) and also I must sleep about a bag at least one night (I tend to do impulse purchases, not great when it comes to a lot of money). And never ever settle with something that is not exactly what you wanted.

After all that I haven't done any purchase that I regret and I use all my bags :smile:


i agree too with this statement. You have to do your research before going to the store. Find out how popular it is ( because when you see lots of people having the same bag as you, you might end up regreting), what are the common complaints about the bag and if you are indeed able to wear it. Like me, I know im more of a crossbody bag person and yet I bought the NF ( because my DH kept insisting that the bigger the better). I thought it would grow in me but it never did. First, im not shoulder bag type of person, secondly, I dont bring much with me so a bag that huge is pretty useless. Lastly, I felt uncomfortable with the monogram because I Think its too "look at me, i have LV" for me.. Thus, I didnt wear it as often as planned. Also,I didnt know a thing about vachetta and I didnt think ill be too fussy about it way too much.

LoL. This is why i would not get seduced into buying a neverfull. Everyone has it here. And there are way too many fake neverfulls

Those fake NF looks almost real huh...when my mom told me my sis didnt like LV because there are lots of fake in my country I told her that its good because I can walk around with my new favorite pm bag without worrying if someone might grab my bag. They would think its fake so theyll just ignore me lol..nf has a great resale value though...
 
The only bag I have that I truly regret is my Siracusa PM. I still think it's a beautiful bag, and I love how light weight and practical it is. If it had only come in a different canvas, though. The structure of the bag with the pleats and the cross body nature of carry was a mistake with the Azur canvas. I couldn't wear the bag with jeans or any dark colored clothing because of color transfer, and even when I wore it with light colored clothing, the friction of the bag against my hip caused a lot of rubbing in the area of the pleats and the damier pattern rubbed completely off! The backside of the bag looks like a complete mess! At least nobody sees that when I wear it, but I know. :nogood: For what we pay for these bags, they should ALL be carefree and not be ruined after using them only a time or two. I can't sell it with this damage, so I keep it and use it anyway. But my enjoyment of the bag is gone.
@SuziZ - I have the Siracusa MM and although I don't regret the purchase, it is a bummer worrying about color transfer while wearing the bag. I've only worn it a few occasions for this reason and I limit use to summer months, when I wear lighter colored clothing.
