Celine Luggage. It was sooo heavy even empty! It does look beautiful though.

the neverfull was my workhorse bag for school and although I used it on the daily, I felt a bit stupid spending so much on a “casual” bag I would never wear out to nice places. It looked so worn out from textbooks that I wouldnt even bring it with me shopping. Any gym bags, work bags, school bags I have now are longchamp. I refuse to spend over 1k for workhorse bags. Though I did manage to sell it for a decent price only losing a few hundred in net value.
I can’t justify massive tote bag purchases anymore.

Fendi WOC with the monster face!!! I still don’t know why I bought that bag!!it was an impulsive buy!! I saw someone like 20 years old wearing the same bag! I was like why did I buy it!! I know that one can rock a bag in any age but still I felt like a kid!!! Now I can’t even sell it! Because nobody wants it!!

I am I the only one who still likes the monster face? I am probably older than you but I still carry my Fendi pouch with the monster face (usually on a night out).

You's just a baby :P I am ten years older than you and have no problems breaking out my monster pouch so I wouldn't worry about it so much :)

For me it was a Fendi Medium peekaboo in a bold blue color. I had always wanted a mini in a bright color so I thought the medium would work. It was also on sale and a way better price point than the mini. But alas, it was too big and too blue and I never really used it so it got sold at a loss. I did end up picking up a mini peekaboo preowned for a steal so maybe I came out even? ;)

I kind of regret getting my YSL Rive Gauche bag from the Tom Ford era, because it tends not to stay closed when I wear it on a long shoulder strap for travel. As long as I wear it in my hand it´s perfect, though... plus it was a steal.

I´m not 100% sure whether I regret buying a purple Fendy Spy bag, too. Again it was quite a bargain and polished up perfectly. The colour is a bit strange for me and I haven´t worn it yet.

Otherwise I´ve been having frequent regrets when (impulse) buying cheap vintage bags (not premier designer). Some of them just didn´t match their descriptions (undisclosed faults) or they simply didn´t look as good on me as I had hoped they would. They usually go back up for sale with proper descriptions... take long to shift, but usually I can recover my costs.

The bags below are from the "don´t work as good as they should on me" or "I have a better similar one" cathegory...

Balenciaga city bag in the color rose berlingot. I love everything about the bag except the color. It's a bit too cool and more lavender than pink. I originally ordered a blush color, but it was out of stock. The store sent me this instead and I got a discount. I have been thinking of using dye to change the color of the bag.

Prob my gucci jackie, I love how it looks but it's not very functional for me, the clip and small shoulder space makes me have to take it off all the time.. wish I was as cool as Jackie O to make it 'work'.
I just got my biggest regret though money wise was one I just purchased for my christmas present to myself, I won't say the brand yet as I'm hoping to get a refund.

My black Gucci soho disco crossbody was my biggest regret. When I bought it, I had wanted a simple black crossbody for traveling, but quickly realized how trendy and over-saturated it is. The huge Gucci interlocking G at the front was way too loud in foreign countries and was attracting too much attention. It wasn’t even able to fit that much! The crossbody strap was very comfortable though, which is the only thing I miss about this bag. I sold it recently and thanks to the continued popularity, didn’t lose that much money.
