A bag purchased from Poshmark. It smelled of horrible tobacco and nothing I did could get rid of the worst smell.
So I threw the bag away!

Your Most Regretful Bag Purchase

LV speedy 25. I bought it in 2004 because I thought it was an iconic, must have bag for my collection, but I’ve realized over the years that unless a bag can be worn crossbody, it’s not for me. I’ve tried wearing the speedy with a strap, but I’m personally not a fan of the way it looks.
Next time file a complaint on Poshmark! You have 3 days to file and request a return. If the seller doesn't comply, you can get Poshmark involved. Don't let the seller keep your money!
My neverfull. Its my first in atore purchase. I enjoyed it but I did not know about vachetta then. i did not know that it was not to be wet or exposed to sun. The straps and lining darkened anyway. So i got stressed out that I gave it to my mom and she was happy
My Dior diorama in medium size, champagne gold. It is a stunning bag but not very practical. It looks too boxy and big for my frame. It’s also too formal looking to wear casually but too big to wear as an evening bag 
I’ve only worn it a handful of times but can’t bring myself to sell it. I wish I bought a small lady dior instead

You are right. It is a beautiful bag. I can see what you are saying regarding styling challenges with it, but it is really gorgeous. I love how you styled it in this photo. I personally would wear it in a way that made it more playful than dressy, like with jeans, leather moto jacket, and either killer heels or leather boots with a metal element like studs, chain, or buckle. That may not be your style though, but just wanted to toss another idea out there for you, since you are trying to keep it.My Dior diorama in medium size, champagne gold.

Also, it can be styled with outfits that nod to the 1970s, 80s, or anything that leans art-deco/20s, as all of those genres embrace metallic elements and strong lines.
I can see it with a cashmere dolman sleeved sweater too (random thought of the day
).Good points! I took it on holiday to London during winter and actually I found it easier to style with big coats, jeans and boots.. unfortunately I live in a warm climate and rarely wear coats I will try to wear it more often though!You are right.

The Chloé Marcie in brown when it came out in 2009. I really liked the look of it but it ended up looking weird on me - it gave off these Wild West vibes. I returned it two days later!
Saint Laurent clutches, YSL shiny patent snake embossed bag, & small metallic gold diorama microcannage (like post #172 above). I don’t go to formal events too often and clutches don’t really suit my lifestyle. Plus I am not as big of a fan of patent like I used to.
Coach frame bag. When I tell you that I *coveted* that bag. It was absolutely beautiful.
It also was very awkward to carry crossbody (looked weird on me and I worried about squishing it out of shape) so it ended up being top handle carry only, except the top handle was also uncomfortable to use (stiff and small and I’d keep bumping up against the kisslock mechanism). I ended up with a very beautiful and totally useless bag that I paid full price for - ended up selling it for half that. Ouch.

I'm sorry to hear that. I always thought this bag was so beautiful. I would have bought it if it had come in a color I loved.
It looks like they actually figured out the problem later. Other iterations of the kisslock style with a top handle switched to a longer, flexible handle instead of the short rigid one. Too late for me though. Oh well.
I have a couple vintage kisslock items now - wallet size instead of a bag, which works well and isn’t nearly as fussy.
