Don’t sell anything unless you need the money. I’m 59 and love grabbing decades old bags I own here and there!

You’re not “just a mom running around town”…you are a MOM taking care of your family…that deserves a Lady Dior as much as Lady Dianna did!

As a vintage bag lover i say go easy on yourself and enjoy your bags. I myself went through the phase of should i sell 25 years ago. I am so glad i didnt, because i later added them back into rotation and they were still age appropriate. Once i saw the current quality and subpar craftsmanship designers offered, i was so grateful i didnt sell my items impulsively. The one thing i did was annually condition the leather and check condition of the bags and they have stood the test of time. Whew, i was wiping my brow. I almost made huge mistake.

Try putting away the bags which you are currently using a lot and bring these to the front. Assume that these are the only bags you have and see if you are able to incorporate it with your wardrobe. That might give you an idea if these bags really work for you or not :)

I think you have many bags...but not TOO many bags! 😅 What I want to say is: when you own many bags, it is quite normal that you rotate some of them more often than others, but they are still a staple in your collection! And in some years they will make a great comeback and you will be carrying them more often again. Really, these days, when prices, quality issues and availability of certain bags are going crazy, we should be very careful if and what we sell! ❤

I think because it’s spring and summer, and most bags on the display here are more Autumn Winter bags. I have thought of pass on my bags to my daughter and future daughter in law too once the kids grow up but seriously we don’t know if they like them or not. It’s sentimental yet I’ll be more proud of my kids will be able to afford and pick their own. We don’t need to keep so many bags that we don’t really use and less loved for the sake of passing on our children. I start to enjoy having less. 😊

Don't sell anything you aren't 100% about it. Seller's regret is real! What I do is take my bags out on a week long "date." If using the bag doesn't bring me joy from that one week, I sell it.

I sold my Lady Dior a couple of years ago and I’ve never missed it. Some bags we will love and obsess over, but they just don’t fit in our lives.

I get it, although I don’t do luxury I hate to have things sitting not being used…I’m downsizing my contemporary bags, I wish I could own a handful and use them until they fall apart 😂 LOVE patinaed/broken in ones. IMO they’re just ‘things’, we can’t take them with us…

All your bags are so pristine! Personally, I keep things if they make me happy whether it’s when I use them, or just seeing them or touching them. If they are giving you a lot of stress in deciding to keep or let go, I’d say let them go. But if they are not stressing you out, I’d say keep them. When I’m in a conflicted situation, I usually set it aside in a box, and in a year if I never even thought about reaching for it, then I let it go. And by that time, it’s important not to negotiate with yourself again whether to really let it go, it will just confuse you even more. Another good way is to ask someone else to deal with that box of items for you, so you don’t have to rekindle memories with the items.

I can totally relate with the conflict to keep or not to keep. The Chanel I would definitely hold on to it for your daughter. The rising prices and declining quality are definitely major factors to hold on to it for her. The speedy has a special place in my heart 😊 so I am bias with those ❤

Omg the black speedy that will always work! That's a collectors bag and so functional!

I love that you're thinking about your daughter in the future. How lovely to use your mom's vintage bag! Lucky daughter.

I would keep all those bags! They are all beautiful and their time to shine will eventually come!

Let go: LV Pochette Metis (so similar to celine box and august atelier, and you are over the loud monogram and won't go back I think), LV speedy 35 (tumi nylon is just easier to travel with), Gucci (be real, you'll just reach for the chanel woc or lululemon beltbag lol), Hermes Kelly (just personally I think the gray is bland)

Hi friend. So glad to hear your thoughts on this subject. You’re so good at knowing when it’s time to let something go. So the fact that you’re not eager to let any go, just wait :). There will ALWAYS be a buyer ;). No rush 🎉.

I have a mini Lady Dior and I hate that you always remind me of how little I use mine when you bring up the same dilemma with yours 🤣But honestly, every time I do wear my Lady Dior, I instantly feel like a princess. I can't put a price on that feeling, so I've decided to ignore how often I use it and simply cherish the moments I take it out for a whirl 💖

Haha. All of these bags are GORGEOUS 😍

Thanks for sharing. As bag lover, It make us to think carefully of what going in to our collection. Sometime it is easy to get distracted by fomo, great deal and push back the ultimate dream bag

I absolutely love all of your bags! They all serve different purposes and I would 100 percent keep them. You must be going through a phase 😉
