My bag preferences have definitely changed. I think age and lifestyle have a lot to do with the bags we gravitate towards. Since I retired, my speedy monogram 30 is my favorite for schlepping around. 😊
This is a great video. I'm glad you are giving yourself grace for letting these bags go. I really do believe our handbag journey is just that: A Journey. It evolves as we go. It's how we discover what we truly like. I think you made good choices to sell. I love all the handbags you have chosen to keep!
Thanks for sharing ! Always love your videos ! You always so polite and elegant. No need to apologize about the gardening noise . Love your jewelry videos too .
Burgundy(english), Bordeaux/bourgogne(french) are the same colour in different languages 😊 always love your vids, it's like a friend telling me about her bags..no screaming, overexcited, exaggerated tiring behaviour. Thank you so much.
Great video, and thank you for sharing your reasons for letting them go. No need to apologize for the noise. It wasn’t a big deal and definitely not your fault.
Looking gorgeous in green Melinda, stunning pendant, matches perfect 💚💛🍀 So kind of you to share about your bags as it’s your collection and choice if they no longer work for you. Cute tree 🎄. Hope you have a wonderful week 💗
Great video Melinda! Perfect way to start my day while drinking my coffee 😊 sometimes we get bags and we love them but with time with evolve and our likes change… better regime those bags so they get the love and wear they deserve 😊❤
Melinda, If you are not reaching for them at least you have a platform to sell them. I really feel less is more. I find myself looking for more & more bags or jewelry. I really feel my live was a lot better w/less but it’s hard to Let them go. Now, I’m trying to enjoy them. Enjoy your bags in good health ❤❤. Great video❤❤.
I don’t completely skip the sugar in my iced tea. I’ll add half or less of the sugar packets. When I skip it completely, I do still like it. Your drink today is totally not weird. Lol. The Boston makes sense. I would also probably grab the LV over it if I had to pick between the two.
I also prefer the Diorama over the Boy bag. I tried on a Boy several years ago and it looked like a medium sized bag but held very little, certainly nowhere near my essentials. Last year I bought a Diorama from Fashionphile, it’s black lambskin with gold studs and it was love at first sight. I thought it wouldn’t hold any more than the Boy but would make a good evening bag. When I received it and started putting stuff in I was amazed at how much fitted in it. I kept thinking it won’t fit this, then it won’t fit that as well, but it just swallowed everything. It’s an amazing bag and I am so glad I bought it. It’s also very low key luxury. I do prefer the older Dior bags with tiny branding to the more recent ones where it’s totally in your face. I love your one. It’s such a beautiful colour. I may be tempted to buy another one day now that they are going for such good prices preloved.
Melinda-I really need your advice on a zoomini insert for my LV Low key Hobo. I mistakenly ordered the 1 mm size and it is too floppy, will not stay upright and pockets flop. If I order do you the the 2mm will work, should I double? And should I get the base. I have not heard you mention this bag but know that you have experience with zoomoni for other hobo type bags. (This is my first hobo in years, other bags are quite structured or easily given structure with an insert such as the speedy). Thanks for sharing all of your bag experiences and your extensive knowledge. Hope you and hubby had a great sunny getaway🥰
I had to look that bag up, that is one I haven't tried on. I would for sure go for the thicker felt and a base shaper. I have a base shaper for the Graceful as well from them but I don't use it often. Thank you, we had a great time!
Nice video..I wish I could sell some of my bags …it feels like so much trouble and the loss of money kills me. If I was practical I would let go of the mini Antigona and the Lady Dior..but they are so classic ..I still love how they look.
Thank you! It really is a lot of trouble and you do take such a loss especially these days. Maybe hang on a little longer until the market comes back. Those are beauties though.
Tastes change, circumstances evolve…. I don’t understand why people expect you to stick by your handbag choices 🙄. Anyhoo, you still have a beautiful collection. Enjoy! 💕
I loveLoveLOVE these types of videos, so Informative. I wish more RUclipsRS would do videos like this. You CERTAINLY shared great information in this video as to whether or not any of these bags will work for another. I will say, one of the many things I've learned since developing an interest in luxury items is that what a person like today, they may not like later. What I've chosen to do is always keep a combo (mixture) of bags....at least one of each of the items I LOVE. Just In Case I change my mind.😁I can't afford to repurchase the same things over again with these price increases. Thanks for sharing the YSL College Bag again, for Olde Time Sake. 🥰🧡🍂
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I agree with you on keeping a mixture of bags. I will never let my classic flaps go even though the medium didn't get worn this year. The Diorama didn't either, I forgot to put that in the not used video. But the Chanel no way I will pay that and the Diorama is discontinued. That College bag is a beauty! Xoxo
Contradiction. No not all. Your needs change. At the moment I’m into smaller bags but maybe one day I will love bigger ones again. I can use them both but I don’t carry a lot currently. I am still looking into getting a new medium bag and I am loving the mama baguette ones that are in the next Fendi collection. The leather ones. Omg I love them. Let’s see when they are released.
Your decisionmaking on bags to keep and bags to let go is always so logical and sound. It's really refreshing to see someone who is so thoughtful about their collection. Thanks for sharing!
Can’t believe you let the YSL College bag go. I have two YSL College bags in size large. I don’t carry them often but love the classy style of them when I do. I like that the large college bags are not crossbody which is why I didn’t go with medium size. We’re constantly evolving so who cares what others think. They’re our bags and our choices. Your necklace is beautiful!❤
great that u sold some of ur bags. i feel my life was much easier when i had only 4 bags.
Yes for sure. Feels good to let go.
My bag preferences have definitely changed. I think age and lifestyle have a lot to do with the bags we gravitate towards. Since I retired, my speedy monogram 30 is my favorite for schlepping around. 😊
Yes I agree with that we always keep changing. Great bag! :)

Thanks Toni! I agree we are ever evolving. And that's a good thing!
Thanks for sharing ! Always love your videos ! You always so polite and elegant. No need to apologize about the gardening noise . Love your jewelry videos too .
Thank you so much!
Burgundy(english), Bordeaux/bourgogne(french) are the same colour in different languages 😊 always love your vids, it's like a friend telling me about her bags..no screaming, overexcited, exaggerated tiring behaviour. Thank you so much.
Ah ha! That makes sense. Wish I spoke French. Awe thank you so much! I cannot deal with squealing or screaming either lol.
Great job Melinda! It would be fun to see a video of the bags you kept and why. I really enjoy your videos! :)
Thank you Jesse! That is a great idea!
Great video, and thank you for sharing your reasons for letting them go. No need to apologize for the noise. It wasn’t a big deal and definitely not your fault.
Thank you! I wasn't expecting them to mow in November!

Thanks so much Margaret! I hope you have a wonderful week as well. Xoxo

I totally agree! Have a great day Lena! Xoxo

Totally agree about crossbody chain straps. Not my thing either. Great video.
Yes! Thank you!
Melinda,

I really feel my live was a lot better w/less but it’s hard to Let them go. Now, I’m trying to enjoy them. Enjoy your bags in good health ❤❤. Great video❤❤.
Thank you! I am really happy to have sold some, the closet looks better and it just feels better. :)
I don’t completely skip the sugar in my iced tea. I’ll add half or less of the sugar packets. When I skip it completely, I do still like it. Your drink today is totally not weird. Lol.
The Boston makes sense. I would also probably grab the LV over it if I had to pick between the two.
I've just gotten used to it over the years but I get good English breakfast tea. The pink is just so much cuter! :)

The Diorama is just awesome And such a good deal preloved now days!
I absolutely love your VCA necklace ❤

Wow you let go of the Evelyn 😮 I love that bag and the rouge de coeur is ❤❤❤..edited to add I guess if you don’t like the colour 😅better to sell
I stil have the blue sapphire and that color works for me. :)
Where did u sell them?
I did a vlog sale here on RUclips and I sold a few on Instagram.
Contradiction. No not all. Your needs change. At the moment I’m into smaller bags but maybe one day I will love bigger ones again. I can use them both but I don’t carry a lot currently.

Yes I totally agree and I hope to keep changing. Makes life fun. Oooh I haven't seen that, I am interested what it looks like!
@ im not sure yet but I might be interested so can’t wait to see it or at least get a better look on the website.
Didn’t you have a black empriente 20 at one time? If so I’m curious what happen to that one.
No, the only two size 20's I ever had was the monogram and the pink.
Glad for you ❤😊
Thanks Kayhlee! Feels good to let go! :)
@LuxPurselove your welcome
Your decisionmaking on bags to keep and bags to let go is always so logical and sound. It's really refreshing to see someone who is so thoughtful about their collection. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
I can totally imagine how hard it must be to let the college bag go! Am so happy to have gotten it, its beautiful ❤
I am so happy you are enjoying it!! :)
I love your pink speedy 🩷
Thanks! Me too! :)
Good job! What are we getting with money from selling these bags ? 😅
No plans to buy anything as of now. :)
Haha that’s what I’m saying 😅
@khanm6241 Nothing I want atm.
Can’t believe you let the YSL College bag go. I have two YSL College bags in size large. I don’t carry them often but love the classy style of them when I do. I like that the large college bags are not crossbody which is why I didn’t go with medium size. We’re constantly evolving so who cares what others think. They’re our bags and our choices.

@audreyw1998 Maybe I would have liked the large size better. It’s truly a beautiful bag. And I totally agree with you, thanks!
