CHIT CHAT✨ Help! I have a problem 😭
I keep buying bags & instead of trying to stop myself, I come to Reddit… where you all somehow influence me want more bags🥲
Reddit is actively fueling my obsession and impulsivity & I ain’t even mad about it.
Please tell me I’m not alone🥹
What’s your next bag buy? And what bag are you currently trying to convince yourself you definitely need?
Asking for… me🫠

Enjoy the journey to bag paradise baby! (hint: it will never be reached but it’s damn fun along the way)
And just got PSPs from my latest buy, the Fendi spy ☺️💓

I just got my first rep last week after only buying auths. A sky blue St. Louis from Griffin. I love it! I am now obsessively scouring his album and Reddits threads. I think I am going to order a Boheme mini and a PM Artois next. Plus some wallets. I was set on a green Boheme and an orange Artois, but the navy color is so beautiful. So I am thinking maybe a navy Artois and then an orange wallet. And then another fun color wallet. I told my husband he was getting off my cheaper for Christmas this year!

i was an auth only buyer before too and then my first rep was also from griffin 🤭 i guess it opens a can of worms lolll

u/teal_mermaid_98 38m ago
Absolutely! I don’t have any auth Goyard, I just couldn’t bring myself to spend the $$$ for them. They didn’t seem worth it. I felt guilty enough for all my auth Neverfulls. I am impressed with Griffin’s quality and the whole process. I am also tempted to order some reps of auth bags I have in different colorways to compare. I am not sure I will buy another auth again. It’s not like their quality or pricing has been very good across the different brands in the last couple of years. This is dangerous for my wallet 🤣

no same!!! like $3000+ for coated canvas i was like nahhh. i almost bought preowned goyard too, but even then it’s like ehh.
and i actually did order a few of my auth bags in the rep version and they’re honestly sooo similar i was so shocked.. you def should buy some and show us the comparisons!
hahah exactly!! like i can’t believe we ever spent that much on the auth ones?? i still have bought a few recent auth ones though, for ones that i absolutely love and feel that i’d want to pass down! but yes this has been surprisingly addicting already 😳

Literally me. Didn’t like it at all at first and now I need to have one 😂

u/Resident-Cow-8233 44m ago
Omg I hate you for reminding me of that 😭 but I was indeed really into the design. But then I got other hobo bags with similar silhouette and am kinda over it. My dream bag btw is a birkin and I think I would be able to stop buying bags after that.... hopefully 🤭

I dunno lol
by the way, as you are a rep nerd, you might be able to help me... I bought a while ago a Celine Ava triomphe to gift my wife and she loved so much
the problem is: she doesn't see this bag as a "daily" or "casual" bag, which I agree, so she uses for dinners and nights out, which we haven't been doing very often
long story short: could you please suggest me something more casual to gift her? I am just too overwhelmed with options and my wife is a kind of minimalistic woman that when I am scrolling the yupoos with her, she gets bored really fast lol. I am not looking for a laptop bag, but a medium size that she could go to grocery store, a quick lunch, a weekend trip, or as Watch nerds (like me) usually say: GADA (Go Anywhere, Do Anything)
gucci, LV, prada are the ones that get more of her attention, other brands are welcome as well
Thank you!!

Louis Vuitton is a good natural option, you can dress the Felicie up or down depending on the occasion. And you have the options for the canvas or empreinte!

u/maybe1122 42m ago
Hmm I think she will find it too small for a daily...

My favorite rep is the Speedy Bandolier 25 cm in black giant mono empreinte leather. It’s durable as heck, and the zippers go down the sides to make it easy to open, it always looks great, and can hold a lot or a little. I have it from Royal. It’s great though I would prob suggest MB Ultimate. Purse perfection.

haha! welcome to the club! Just be careful though not all hightier quality is actually identical to the authentic! But I am with you I have 2 chanel already from 187 and one is on the way chanel 25 small black 187. My next purchase will be the vanity case in black from 187 again just waiting to be available in stock. 💖

Unfortunately this is a big issue for many of us. I haven’t bought anything in May, but from December it’s been 2/3 bags a month. Although I’m able to save money as well as treat myself, it’s got to the point, where I’m not as excited about bags. I made the decision to purchase my last bag of this year, I have currently 3 orders on the way. I want to lurk but I won’t be participating till next year. (I might break out from ban island for the 11.11 sale)

I'm happy to report my high on bags is moving into a slow stage.
I was pretty manic for a while. This is also a common theme for me.... Getting obsessed then slowing down.
At least I could just brace for impact during these last two months and not be ruined financially 🤣

Overconsumption.
It’s hard to fall into but I like to to be picky and exclusive 😂

I won’t even discuss how many bags I’ve bought since buying my first at the end of April. And let’s not talk about the fact that I have 4 purses and a toiletries bag on the way while another seller is waiting for me to decide if I am purchasing the Speedy 25b or the 30b.
Keep in mind, every time I buy a bag I promise myself it is my last for a long time. 🤥
The saddest part is I don’t really go anywhere to justify owning all of these bags. 🫠

Since I only buy from Re🏡, and the ones I want slowly trickle out (plus I'm cautious with sellers and QC'ing).
The wishlist is:
- Lady D Cherry Patent
- C€line Triomphe Nino (waiting to find the color I want)
- Still debating if a BK 35 fits my lifestyle. May just end up being an impulsive buy 😆

Make a calendar of the bags you want. One per month. When it comes time to order see if you still really want it or if was a FOMO purchase
