i wouldn’t sell any of the three unless you feel 100% done with the bag. I've only had one mild regret selling a bag, but I'll think about the cons of that bag and that tiny regret goes away. The others, I was 100% done with.

I love both Chanel and LV and both work for different occasions. LV canvas to me is way less fussy than Chanel, and the Croisette in DE can be dressed up or down (although I can't remember if it's the bond street or the croisette that people complained about the handle only stays upright making it uncomfortable worn crossbody?). Since you got it abroad a few years ago you got a great deal compared to the pricing now. Same with your beautiful lamb mini. if you let the mini go and decide later you really miss having one (which so many people love the black and silver hw combo), you’ll probably have to pay over $1k or more than what you originally bought it for a couple of years ago. And mini's these days can be hard to come by if bought new. And it sounds like you really won't get much use out of the vintage beige as you stated above you feel it's more delicate with it being beige/lamb. If there's one to let go the beige sounds like it's the one. You can always watch the resell sites for you M/L CF. Although, their prices at times are as high or higher than the boutique brand new. Best of luck in your decision.

thanks so much! And yes pre-loved bags are so pricey/ close to retail. I’m definitely going to wait a bit to decide...not in a rush.

I’ve decided to sell the LV croisette and keep the mini. I’m debating the beige, I love the bag, but would l0ve to hear input! I don’t reach for this a ton, but do really like it.

Sounds like a good decision to sell the LV based on what you said before about being ready to part with it. Same with the mini, if you aren't 110% then good idea to keep it.

By that same logic, I'd keep the beige too, at least for now. If you still love it and are still unsure, probably best to hold onto it at least a little more. Really think on it-- would this be a bag you'll miss and possibly want to rebuy? Would it be worth it to rebuy later, or better to keep it for now? I actually find vintage harder to part with (I know some people here don't like vintage and that's okay! But I love it) because I know how much harder it is to replace a good vintage bag in the condition I like.

Ultimately though, the question is, "would you rather?" Would you rather keep that beige bag and have to put off buying your CF for a little longer while you save more (and, yes, risk a price increase), or would you rather sell it now, buy the CF now and no longer have the beige bag?

It's a tough decision! I hope you settle on the best solution for you :flowers:
