earlier this month, I asked you all a question. A concern that a few of you have inevitably asked yourself at one point or another, as well as the publish was insightful, helpful, as well as thought-provoking.
The Debate
I wished to understand if you guys believed it was ok, under specific circumstances, to dip into your cost savings account to purchase a handbag. The results were extremely mixed, with a few of you stating you’ve done it or are believing about it as well as some you offering up a cold, difficult no. Truthfully, the more believed I provided it, the more I didn’t like the concept of it, particularly not the entire expense of a bag.
Instead, I started believing about things in my wardrobe that I don’t utilize as well as might potentially sell. I started off small, clearing out some accessories as well as a pair of designer sneakers I used only 5 times, however that had begun to hurt my sensitive feet. I listed a few products on my Poshmark, however unfortunately, the products won’t produce a revenue of more than a couple hundred dollars, which, when you’re speaking about bags, is like speaking about pennies!
I then started looking at my bag collection, which I have streamlined over the last few years for the most part. There are only two bags that I would believe about selling. One is a Louis Vuitton Damier Azur speedy 30, which is a bit as well big for me now. It has my initials hot stamped in gold, which would badly cut down on any type of revenues (if your initials are KS, hit me up!). The second has prospective as well as I’m contemplating selling with Poshmark or Fashionphile. It is my Louis Vuitton monogram Neverfull GM.

The concern at Hand
I bought the bag before my senior year of college to utilize as a institution bag (quite a elegant one at that). I saved as much as make the purchase after interning full-time all summertime long. It was a bit treat to myself after working difficult all summertime when the rest of my good friends were enjoying their last summertime before graduating as well as entering the genuine world. I utilized the bag for my last two semesters, as well as then it promptly made its method into storage at the top of my closet, only coming out for road trips or to be utilized as a carry-on for air travel.
These days, we as a society are traveling less as well as less, myself included, as well as I honestly can’t keep in mind the last time I utilized my Neverfull. It’s not truly big sufficient for a long-weekend road trip, as well as air travel has been non-existent in my life. Besides, for the number of times I travel a year, is it *really* necessary to have a $1,000+ tote? sure the bag is a classic, as well as it’s incredibly functional, no question about that (it truly is neverfull), as well as if my funds were unlimited, maybe, however at this time, it may make more sense to put the money towards a more daily bag I’ll utilize as well as love.
What would you do?
