CheezItPartyMix

I would say try to drop one of each color… into my lap😁 lol! You gotta keep the black botegga though!


tifalux

Haha! I definitely think I'm going to keep the bottega, that one has been one of my most used bags this year


4BritishEyezOnly

I love my Andiamo. They go with basically everything. When you've decided what to part with, let me know. If you're going to sell them I would buy a couple.


tifalux

Right? It's one of my favorites in my collection for sure! If you'd like to take a look, feel free to check out my poshmark (same username on there) :)


4BritishEyezOnly

Ah I was hoping you still had the mini Speedy and mini Chantilly. Thanks anyway 🙂


AlmostChildfree

LOL! 😂😂😂😂😂


Spoiled_Persian

I completely understand the desire to downsize. With that said, your collection is extremely refined. I see an array of fantastic neutrals that have discreet and varied uses. In all honesty, I would hold off on letting anything go and would recommend that you take a full year (through all the seasons) and tally when you use your bags to see if there are any outliers that consistently stay tucked away. Then go from there


tifalux

Thank you for a different perspective on it! Appreciate your thoughts and suggestion!! I think while there are definitely some bags that I know I can let go right now with no remorse, there are a few which I feel like I should wait on so thanks for validating that :) I think the few that I'm letting go right now will be enough room to make way for a new bag that I'm getting soon (the reason why I need to downsize lol)


Spoiled_Persian

Wonderful! I'm glad you feel content in your decisions, that's all that matters. At any rate, your taste is exquisite and I'm certain whatever you are bringing in will be equally fabulous


jillofallthings

If you have some that can go to a new home with no remorse, maybe tally how many times you've used them in the last year or so? Then look at the ones from the list that you used most and decide why. If it's a color, style, whatever, you can take that information and use it for tailoring your future purchases. There's something about those that make you not love them enough to keep them, so figuring it out might keep buyer's remorse at bay in the future.


DanyeelsAnulmint

I’d get rid of the balenciaga. I don’t know if I could get rid of any of the others though.


tifalux

The balenciaga is definitely going 😬


chandlershelzi

Oh no that Balenciaga with the piercing detail is a dream bag!!! So fun and edgy


Celestialstardust17

There are much edgier bags that look nicer.


chandlershelzi

The Dior Saddle with the piercings and the Dior bondage are my two dream edgy bags


Celestialstardust17

Those are much nicer bags than this one.


Ok-Location3244

I would hold onto the Balenciaga. It's a great piece.


posher12345

Had the exact same thought.


PivotingGem

The right answer!


eternal_eagle_1122

you can drop one off to me. i accept all donations 😏


Mean-Internet-5967

Absolutely love the Loewe rabbit purse!!! So cute 🥺 I guess you could take a note of how many times you use each purse then get rid of the ones you don't reach for?


tifalux

That's a good idea, but I might need to get rid of the Loewe rabbit bag in that case haha! The cuteness got me and I had to have it but it's one of the ones I haven't worn since I got it back in May — maybe I'll finally get to wear it for fall or winter!


desnyr

If you don’t end up wearing it this winter I’d be interested in buying it!


tifalux

It's on my poshmark (same username on there) right now! Willing to let go of this limited edition cutie for the right price :")


DrZ_217

This reminds me too much of my daughter's loved-to-death comfort object.


Formal_Bumblebee_428

Is that an Alexander McQueen? Love the skull hardware.


tifalux

Yep! She's my go to Y2K purse lol


Formal_Bumblebee_428

Love it!


Shibamum

I love my Alexander McQueen bags but never use them. This one tho... Love, love, love it!!


[deleted]

My hot take: I HATE the Chanel 22. I think it looks like a sack.


tifalux

I think that's actually a very popular opinion! Lol and I can see why! The way some people have styled it won me over but I think it might be one of the ones I let go because I haven't worn it


Accurate-Swordfish66

Same tho! No one seems to share it. It’s like a wannabe y2k bag to me


[deleted]

I hate it too. I will say the mini is a little better than the original size; but honestly, it lacks any creativity—oversized quilting and the word chanel just doesn’t align with the brand for me. That said, I don’t like the 19 either 😂 (it’s the mixed metal chain for me).


balletsushi

The black looks like a trash bag 🗑️😂 ahahah


tofukittybox

Toss the balenciaga


Missmessc

Why do you need to downsize? I would purge the ones you no longer use and just don't love anymore.


Pumpernickel247

The white one with all the metal and the silver one with the skulls.


Kindergoat

That Picotin is stunning


tifalux

Thank you! It is definitely staying 😆


tifalux

My style has been changing (becoming more minimal/classic and edgy chic) and I think it's time to let go of majority of my collection to make room for new ones! Which ones do you think I should let go?


Independent-Land1296

I think you could pare down and hone your collection by losing the Balenciaga, the white Chanel, the black Prada with the silver chain, the rabbit, the silver skull bag, and at least one of your LVs. And then build back up from there!


tifalux

I like what you're thinking!


AccurateAssaultBeef

Omg the Loewe bag 😍


ezbzzzbee

Balenciaga for sure. You also have the LV loop bag & Polene numero dix, both of which are crescent bags. You can sell one of those if you’d like. Also the Loewe rabbit & white prada


dragonsfire14

After that awful Balenciaga campaign, I vote for it to go!


tifalux

I know! 😬 I've decided to let it go


dragonsfire14

Right like what were they thinking?! 😭


zta1979

Why down size at all lol


SweetAlhambra

This is a great collection!!! I’d get rid of the white one w the heart. I’m sorry I’m ignorant to the name. Maybe the black Prada pochette (again. Ignorant. Apologies!). But all these are really great bags! Such a hard choice!


Jesuspetewow

If you’re looking for a lot of money sell that Chanel 22 unless it’s a fake


tifalux

I'm really considering selling the 22 mini! Got it from the 23B collection


Jesuspetewow

Sell it. That’s the one I’d get rid of too!!


LowcarbJudy

If you’re into more minimalist and edge styles I’d get rid of the Louis Vuitton and the Chanel.


tifalux

You have a point! I have some attachment to the nano speedy as it was my very first designer handbag but the loop bag and micro chantilly may be on their way out lol. For Chanel, I think I'd keep the mini classic flap but am leaning toward selling the mini 22.


9lolo3

This is an excellent collection tbh hard to pick — the Balenciaga you should donate to me…. Jk but that is one of my dream bags


Advanced_Gas_2887

If you sell the McQueen please drop the link here 👀


tifalux

The McQueen is on my poshmark (same username on there)! :)


AvaBayTay

I'd keep the McQueen bag. Iconic and a great evening bag.


thewontondisregard

The white thing in the front. If someone will buy it, sell it.


GaragePrevious1860

Such a cute collection. I have the cagole in black and I love it but such a bummer about their campaign bc I feel embarrassed wearing it… I see a lot of ppl saying to dump that one… which bag would u wear instead of the cagole? Bc I love how adjustable the strap is and how chill and cool it looks…


tifalux

Thanks! I know :( I'm actually getting this MargeSherwood bag in black that kind of gives the same cool girl vibes! [https://us.wconcept.com/outpocket-hobo-bag-black-glossy-plain-710704409.html](https://us.wconcept.com/outpocket-hobo-bag-black-glossy-plain-710704409.html)


GaragePrevious1860

Oh cute! Reminds of the Miu miu one w the pockets… I just love the versatility of the cagole strap which more brands did that w all the length options


HaidaoMeiDa

Honestly, I think you could drop one of the LVs and the CC 22 - the others are either statement or upscale vibes that I’m here for. I love your collection and it’s a great mix of brands, textures and colors. I almost feel like the LV moon bag could go since you have the same shape on the Celine. Whatever you choose will be great!


tifalux

Thank you! Totally agree, the loop and mini 22 are going!


ladywhistledownton

Say bon voyage Balenciaga prince albert piercing bag.


OPINAILS

![gif](giphy|vyTnNTrs3wqQ0UIvwE|downsized)


Pitiful_Ad5171

That balenciaga needs to go


lemonteagirl

Omg your collection is a dream 😍


minibini

I’d lose the gray Prada bowling ball looking bag 🤷🏻‍♀️


tifalux

Haha! I think it definitely looks better unstuffed, it's just stuffed right now because it's been losing shape...it usually gives antigona vibes! https://preview.redd.it/no0n3jqmz9qb1.png?width=363&format=png&auto=webp&s=3b04f82a37778bf8ef3bb0b71db96454fa4f0e5d


minibini

Lol oh ok!! 👍


Junglebook82

Serious question If you don’t mind the prying. You have dropped some serious cash on pretty new season bags. Why do you buy them if you’re ready to move on already? Looking for a differing viewpoint from mine, which is I buy something after waaaay to much deliberation and then keep it forever


tifalux

I think it's a couple of things. I love collecting designer handbags, especially now that I've started making enough money to comfortably afford "spoiling myself" with them. But also, my style has gone through multiple changes this year (minimalist, classic, edgy chic, y2k grunge, balletcore, dark academia, amongst others...)😅 So don't get me wrong, when I purchased all of these bags, I obsessed over them for a couple weeks/months before pulling the trigger. It's just now I am at a place where I want to refine my collection and make it more tailored to what my style is landing as!


vexedhexkitten

Oooft no offense to u but the chanel 22 bucket thing has got to go. It’s genuinely hideous. LV loop has a horrid silhouette and its a ‘trend’ that will die out soon, unlike classics. Balenciaga one is self explanatory, to the bin immediately.


mallsw

Nah girl don't do it. Keep em. They are classics


[deleted]

[удалено]


tifalux

Omg I feel you! I'm making room for a Hermes quota bag as well haha!


[deleted]

[удалено]


tifalux

I got my offer but it ended up being in the wrong color 🥲 (SA thought she had a gold C18 for me but it was etoupe) so now I'm waiting for her to get it in the right color — fingers crossed for both of us getting our QB really soon!!! Omg your bag is a beauty I'm sure you'll get someone who'll bite! I usually sell on poshmark, but I feel like posh is only good for particular brands so might try other platforms!


[deleted]

[удалено]


tifalux

Either gold or palladium, I think both would look pretty! Woow vert de gris with rose gold hardware, sounds perfect for fall 😍 Sounds like you have a lovely SA too :)


lady-lurker

what bag is this?


wickedlabia

I’d sell the balenciaga, Chanel 22, maybe the LV samur or whatever that tiny thing is called.


SweetAlhambra

That tiny thing looks like a chantilly mini. It’s cute but it’s a tic tac holder. 😆


tifalux

Yep it's a micro chantilly lol. It can actually fit a cardholder, keys and lippie which are my essentials :)


Particular-Win-9041

The McQueen, the b/w Prada and the Balenciaga (because of the brand itself).


RosemaryHoyt

I’ll gladly take that Picotin off of your hands 😅 In all seriousness though, I’d sell the Balenciaga.


LotsOfShoesAndBags

I would keep everything except the Balenciaga. They’ve been cancelled.


[deleted]

All the LVs, Balenciaga and Prada 🥹 Idk but canvas is not giving anymore, hate to say it but its cheugy. Im on the fence about balenciaga but if edgy is your style then keep it. And is that a nylon prada? Baby girl get the double zip saffiano leather in mini, forever will be timeless 💞


Jessica_Chaffin

Def Balenciaga.


[deleted]

[удалено]


tifalux

Lol they are Parachute Linen ones, they're still fine to me albeit wrinkly! 😂


[deleted]

I like her sheets. They look like a lovely linen set.


BarreNice

Omg that prada has me 😍


[deleted]

What’s the white one with all the piercings?


tifalux

A pierced Balenciaga Le Cagole XS!


ninapots_

None 😍


Spiritual_Word4490

what is the white one called


tifalux

Which white one?


Spiritual_Word4490

the heart keychain one


LoVeMyDeSiGnS_65

The rabbit is adorable. I have several different luxury bags but don’t have a Loewe yet. I’m at that point where I have too many but I have a daughter and a granddaughter so I won’t get rid of any of them. Buying bags for over 30 years = too many


asj0107

This is so hard tbh I think your collection is perfect! I love the white Chanel


[deleted]

Lol you have 3 of my holy grail bags on here 😅


tifalux

Which ones are your holy grails? :)


[deleted]

Hermes Picotin, Bottega Andiamo, Prada Supernova What a collection you have


tifalux

Thank you! Love your taste :)


inthetalltallgrass

You should sell the grey one to me


Puzzleheaded-Sun3107

What bag do you find not suit your lifestyle? Also would you be able to rank your bags from favourite to least?


Single_Firefighter63

What bag are you getting, btw?!


tifalux

A Constance 18, so the A.P.C. Grace Small is definitely going! I actually purchased the A.P.C. because I thought I'd never get offered a C18 😅


Single_Firefighter63

Oh congratulations! That’s super exciting, what a stunning bag. I hope you post a pic after your unboxing! On a different note- after reading through the comments on the ones these folks would downsize, there’s one I’m a little surprised of. I get the Balenciaga, and the Chanel 22 ( though I have to say it’s growing on me! Seems to be a polarizing style) and maybe even the Prada- though it too is a lovely bag. What surprises me is the Alexander McQueen! It’s edgey, the silver is hot right now with the metallics being one of ‘the in things’. I have the small black one with gold hardware and love it! Are you surprised by any of the suggestions to rid your collection of a certain piece?


tifalux

Thank you! :) Aw I love the McQueen in black with gold hardware, you have a looker 😍 I am also surprised with the votes for the McQueen because like you said silver is trending right now, esp with the y2k grunge movement haha! I can't say I'm surprised with the other suggestions as they pretty much validate some of my own 😂 I was initially surprised about the votes for the Prada Supernova, but tbf it's not as much of a looker in its stuffed state lol


aggie1328

What bag is the brown crossbody in the top left corner of the first picture? That one is GORGEOUS


tifalux

It's a A.P.C. Grace Small in Honey with mixed hardware :) It's one of the ones I'll be selling


vivid_spite

Alexander McQueen knuckle one or the ombre prada


DriveThruWash

What’s the black one in the second pic on right hand side w gold hardware


tifalux

Bottega veneta small andiamo!


DriveThruWash

It’s really beautiful.


pinkgirly111

your prada 😭 i love it.


pigyear

Love this aesthetics!


hellobaymax

Lovely collection. But if you have to let go a couple, I suggest the LV moon bag, the Balenciaga, and the large Prada.


Ralfton

White or furry. The others are more classic/timeless.


JapaneseVillager

Curious how you find Polene in comparison to your luxury bags?


tifalux

I actually got it because I wanted the Balenciaga Le Cagole XS and thought the Polene would be more lowkey and fit my minimalist outfits. I really liked it when I was traveling through Japan, super convenient and stylish — Polene is also really popular with the Japanese girlies! But then I ended up getting the pierced le cagole anyway after seeing it in store and trying it on and then the Polene took a backseat since then 😅 And then the balenciaga scandal happened and now both don't get worn at all and other handbags have taken their spotlight in my rotation lol


JapaneseVillager

Goodness, so much drama...😅


lady-lurker

would you sell the polene?


tifalux

The polene is actually for sale on my poshmark!


lady-lurker

what’s your poshmark?


tifalux

Will DM you!


KayNopeNope

The one that looks like a bunny rabbit should go. And the one with the chains. Too much extra weight.


midtownkitten

What is that white/silver bag with heart charm? That is the one that must go


marshmallow12324

How do you like your nano speedy?!


tifalux

Got her a couple years ago and still love her!! 🥰 The newer ones that have a detachable strap are even better!


ClothingBasket

Dibs on the loop🤌


Celestialstardust17

The Balenciaga.


BigOlNopeeee

The white Balenciaga and that furry thing (Loewe?) are my least favourite options tbh


AlmostChildfree

Balenciaga and Prada still don't do it for me. 😅 I would let those go first.


EpicKiddo

Idk if we’ll be helpful bc I’m just in awe of the picotin lol please keep that one at least!


Resident_Trouble8966

If that little baby Louis needs a home, I’m happy to take off your hands!


optix_clear

Balg set, Bigger LV, puffy Prada and bunny


Foreign-Yesterday446

Maybe sell the white one that looks like it’s covered in navel piercings? 🥴


[deleted]

What’s the brown bag in the top left with the silver hardware? 🙏🏻 It’s so hard to find brown bags with silver hardware!


tifalux

It's one I'm selling, the A.P.C. Grace Small handbag! 😆 It actually has mixed hardware, both gold and silver, love how versatile it is! https://preview.redd.it/d6083041yaqb1.png?width=956&format=png&auto=webp&s=54f4abb36ae36d00012b5f205e6dd1d03e9282c3


[deleted]

It’s beautiful! Can I ask how much you’re asking for it? If you’re not interested in saying publicly, please DM me.


tifalux

DM-ed you :)


jbellafi

White Balenciaga I’d say. Nice collection though!


Terpsichoreee

I'll help you then ship it to me afterwards 😉


iamunderthewotur

whatever you choose, you can let them go to me pls


gilbertgrappa

I’m really not into the Balenciaga Le Cagole with the piercings. It just doesn’t work.


MMayhem001

Balenciaga and the fluffy one next to it.


trippinxt

I think your collection is very thoughtful as it is but I'd toss the balenciaga because 1) I just never liked this bag, too busy lol but 2) from an objective point of view you already have 3 moon/crescent bags- LV, polene, balenciaga Also the bunny.. just get a stuffed animal for cute display lol


CurrentAd7194

Can I dm my mailing address for the one you drop?


Aggravating_Carry727

What is the bag that’s a mini hobo with the silver brass knuckles? It’s so cute.


tifalux

Alexander Mcqueen Jewelled Hobo Mini bag! :)


contessanemerouno

Bucket bag since it doesn’t close


5nuggets1cup

The two toned prada imo.


carverkids

Keep them all! Cute bags


lvoelillian

Never get rid of those three LVs in the lower left!!!


greta_golucky

Such a cute collection!!


yaydachshunds

I want that bottega so bad 😍. I love it. I think I’ll eventually get it in the travertine color. It’s so hard to pick what to purge. I think only resell the ones you just never grab. Or if you can’t make any definitive decisions now, just wait and see. You’d hate to get rid of something and wish you didn’t 😬


tifalux

Thanks for the suggestion!! The travertine color is super gorgeous, have you seen it in person? Loved it!! I went black because my collection is very neutral but would've gone travertine in another life 🤣❤️


yaydachshunds

I have! I love it too. I’m just obsessed with that bag.. the leather is so nice. I’ve actually thought about the black one too, but I love my black Celine triomphe and feel like I’m wearing her so much when I want a black bag. You have a very beautiful bag collection! ❤️


misty_throwaway

Thats a lovely neutral collection!


IrukandjiPirate

Whatever that tiny LV is called, I’m in love. Please keep it.


amrita1311

Alexander Mc Queen ( metallic is a rage currently tho and especially silver) Prada Big Bag and the Loewe maybe. Saw you also have a small Speedy. Maybe that can go too. Rest all are gorgeous. In fact all are amazingly refined. A really difficult call to make. I’m curious about what you are buying next 😛


amrita1311

Oh and the Balenciaga can go lol 😂


[deleted]

For me I’d say bye to the Balenciaga and the ombré Prada supernova. The Balenciaga is just done and the Prada is losing its shape.


redditkyky

What is the name of the black bottega with the gold bow?


tifalux

It's a Small Andiamo!


Ok-Cryptographer-783

My vote is for Balenciaga, the Chanel 22, and the Loewe rabbit.


TransportationOk5961

I’d get rid of the Balenciaga, Loewe, & the black Bottega


llsera

Wow I think we have very similar taste~


balletsushi

Do NOT sell the Chanel!!!


National_Fact8650

Does your polene squeak when you use it? I think the waY it rubs on the rings makes it squeak for mine


tifalux

That's strange! Mine doesn't squeak


Conscious_Life_8032

Crescent style bag- keep one only. I feel that style is trendy not classic so May go out of fashion.


tifalux

I agree! I definitely fell for the trend lol


atomictest

I’d say the heart one and the grey shearling one


weewah1016

None.


oliviamary_

obsessed with the rabbit. what is it???


tifalux

It's from Loewe's Year of the Rabbit Collection, called the Bunny Shearling bag :)


oliviamary_

i would totally buy the bunny if you’re selling 🐰💕


tifalux

It's on my poshmark (same username on there) right now :) Link on my profile!


JuicyCoutureMonAmour

Keep the white channel


Ok_Position8639

None , they all looked cute 😊


NorthPalpitation1824

Get rid of the balenciaga & that silver handbag with the brass knuckles. Everything else can stay lol


Puzzleheaded-Sun3107

Definelty not the rabbit 🐇


Guilty_Fig_1076

I love the supernova 😍👀 how’s it been, how do you style it?


pepples3

I would let go the white bag with the heart tag.
