Stay or Go? Help! Must Clean Up! :D

 
Hi Gals,

As you know, I'm an avid Chanel collector.  A crazy one.  My peak time was having almost 70 Chanel bags in my collection.  But ENOUGH is really ENOUGH.  LOL!

Right now, I'm back to around 30 pieces...but I still find myself not using them all.  Some haven't even seen the daylight after I bought them.  Since I'm also building my Hermes collection, I think it's time to let go of more bags to spare some space in my closet and welcome the upcoming "new family members".

But then, I'm having a hard time deciding which ones to let go for the following 4 bags.....so I'm now posting them here with some modeling pictures to see if you gals have any input.  You can say "Let go of all", "Keep only 1", "Keep all" etc...haha...whatever your thoughts are.  All input are welcome.  I REALLY need to clean up my closet for the holidays!!!

FYI, most of my Chanel bags in my current collection are classic flap style (2.55 reissues with the rectangular "mademoiselle" lock and classics with the CC lock) which I really prefer.  I have all the colors I want so colors don't really matter.  You can just concentrate on these 4 bags and don't need to consider my other Chanel bags in my collection.  Easier job.  Hehehe!

Hope to hear from you gals!  Really appreciate your help!

So without further ado..here are the 4 bags I am thinking of letting go of......

1. CHANEL Mauve Color Camellia Wallet On Chain (with silver hardware)
 
 

 2. CHANEL Blue/Green Color Tweed Flap (with silver hardware)



 

 3. CHANEL Dark Green "Bubble Quilt" Medium Hobo Flap (with matte light gold hardware)




4. CHANEL Black "Coco Rider" Large Bowler/Tote (with ruthenium hardware)







Thanks in advance gals for your input!!! :D 

Cheers,
Mia

  1. I'd keep the wallet on a chain! That color is beautiful! I think the WOCS are timeless and great for a night out when you want your hands free, like running after your little one.

  2. Hi Tien! Thanks so much for your input! So, just keep WOC and let go of the others? Is that your thought? :D Really appreciate it! Thanks again!

  3. Yes, get rid of the others. I think by your own admission (reducing your collection to mostly classic flaps), you're more drawn to the silhouette of clean lines.

  7. I'd rather let go some of the less used classics, then any of these - they are all unusual, rather unique and not so often seen. Besides, they all look good on you. Personally, I'm not so much into the last one (tote), but it does look great on YOU, so - my vote goes to keep them all option. ;o)

  9. definitely the tweed or the coco rider. the camellia WOC is just too pretty to let go!

  10. Where do you sell your bags? I would love to look!

  11. I would keep the WOC and bubble quilt for sure! If I had to let one go, it would be the tweed as I prefer leathers over non leather bags... they just feel so luxurious when you touch them. Good luck with your choice!

  12. I say keep the last one because it is roomy without structure, looks like a every day bag.

    somehow i did not see my comment on your 'anniversary' post...

  13. Dears, thanks so much for your valuable input! I really appreciate it. Seems like most prefer the Camellia mauve WOC!! I'll think it over...hehehe! Thanks again!

  14. Julia, thanks for your input! Oh...I have this "comment moderation" thing on because I always receive "funny" comments linking to porn sites or something. I've already published your comment on my "anniversary" post just now. :D How are you doing? Long time no chat! Any plans for Xmas?

  15. Carrie, I usually sell my bags locally or to Singapore through referral because it's easier. But I sometimes list my bags on eBay or Bonanzle too. :D

  16. Mia, I say keep 1 and 4.

    I am interested to buy your coco rider as I can't find it from US when it was released. If you decide to sell it, can you please let me know. My email is yimvivian1106@yahoo.com.hk Vivian Yim. Thanks a lot!

  20. DON't let go of the Mauve chain wallet! it's definitely and item for a collector to keep. :)

  21. Mia!!!!! I say keep the bubble quilt. The leather is too die for to let go of......it's one of my favourites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. I would let go 1 and 4 as they are not as special or rare as the tweed and green bubble, you could always find something similar to 1 and 4 if you ever regred selling them, but you would find it hard to replace 2 and 3. The tweed is my absolute favourtie xx

  23. ohhhh sooo gorgeous mia!!
    u fit them all, seriously!
    but then, i agree with others..
    keep only the WOC..
    the rest are just so-so to me, although they do compliment u well..

    psssttt: let me know how much u might want for that green bubble *wink*

    ReplyDelete
  24. oh i forgot, my email is jelita78@gmail.com, let me know if u decided to sell the green bubble! thanks!

  25. Hi Mia, do you have anything that you are selling for Chanel? let me know as I'm interested especially your red/purple flap. Please email me at fannielew@hotmail.com. I'm living in HK and I think I have met you once in central.

  26. Mia..Mia...I was MIA myself & I missed all these! I would keep the #4 as I saw Kai wearing hers when I met her in SF! That would be a great outing bags just in case you need to carry more stuffs than usual. or even a carry on bag when you go on a trip! Hope you are feeling better now!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I would say you keep WOC... :) If ever you dexide to let go of the green bubble, how much is it? :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hiya Mia! I'm not sure if you've already decided but I just wanted to give some input. I see in another post that you already have that same bubble hobo in silver, right? Then, I think you should let go of the green bubble quilt. You must hehee The other 3 bags look too good on you to let go.

    Also, my condolences.

  29. Oh boy, Mia... I definitely missed all the goodies that you are selling here. :) It's completely my fault for not having checked your blog recently. That said, I'm glad you are back posting again your recent eye candies...

    Btw, I *cannot* wait until i see your new SO Birkins!! Wooohooo!
