- Just as much as panic buying can lead to regret, panic selling is also not the answer! If you're contemplating selling some of your items, I suggest you watch this video first. I'm all for letting go of things that no longer serve us. In fact, it's usually very liberating to say goodbye to things we don't want or need anymore. I've been there! However, I've heard so many of you tell me that you regret selling certain items and wish you had been more thoughtful before deciding. So, I made this video covering the 3 common mistakes I've seen - and how to avoid them! I hope it's helpful for many of you. xx
If this video resonates with you in any way, please give it a THUMBS UP. It'll mean a lot.
As always, thanks so much for watching~

Trend chasing really is so silly when it comes to luxury bags especially… like okay, we’re ALL supposed to be buying and selling ~$30-50K worth of bags every year? Just to keep up? That is literally preposterous! The internet is such a lie! 😂
I’m so glad I broke the buy sell buy sell cycle. I spent thousands and lost thousands and it was all to fill a void in life. I was trying to compensate for low self esteem and finally realized this was not it for me. But It you love this, more power to you ♥️
Good for you!! I’m so happy for you. 💗 I think a lot of us get sucked into this cycle out of pure boredom. I can speak for myself! 😅
THIS. VIDEO. IS. EVERYTHING! This could not have come at a better time. I have seen the "quiet luxury" trend and I have the "loud" bags. I even went as far as getting quotes to sell one. The fact that I have questioned it means I'm going to hold on to it. I buy things with forever in mind, and stick to classics. I am glad you made this video! Im eyeing your black speedy bb.... the lambskin is so beautiful! I think the same of my speedy 25 v 25b... I have the 25, I'm happy 😊
Well said!! I’ve notice the quiet luxury trend as well and some of the comments I have read are alarming. I am thinking one should wear whatever makes them happy not follow into these trends that are in one month and out the next. Thank you for sharing your insight on this 😊
I agreeeee! Stop being so obsessed with the trends and focus on yourself! You are the trend haha 😊
Whoop whoop! 🙌 😂
Well said! I couldn't agree more! Individuality is the best expression of fashion in my opinion. I tend to dress quiet/casual, but I love expressing myself by dying my hair with the occasional vibrant color(s)! I also drive an older car because I love it and never want to get rid of it! My thought is - anyone else's opinion is none of my business 😊
Thank you! Well said. Handbags are not investments. They are meant to be enjoyed and used.
Handbag investments must be one of the worst ideas. Just buy index funds instead already
I love your perspective and completely agree! It's about what YOU like yourself, and enjoying and cherishing those items, no matter what others say or what trends may be going on
I 100% agree with you!! I do me, I buy what I like when I can whether it’s “in style, fashion, the it thing or whatever” I never let any influencers or anybody tell me what I should be buying or not buying with my own money. What ever floats your boat and makes YOU happy. I’m a leader not a follower 🤪 I honestly couldn’t care less what others are doing to each their own. 😊
Harper's Bazaar used to have a feature called 'Keep, Buy, Store:' they would tell you about trends/ pieces that you should 'keep' wearing, what pieces you should 'buy' to add to your wardrobe, and what pieces to 'store' for now if the trend was waning or on the way out, so you could pull it out for another time. They always did remind readers that different trends would come back cyclically, and they'd say something like 'hey, it's time to pull Trend-X out of your closet, it's really fresh and pertitnent for such-and-such a season.' I really liked that idea because it was never really about following trends, but making what you already had work for you. They always gave different trends for readers to follow, and then you could pick and choose what your focus or style was, which was such a healthy way of approaching luxury and fashion in general. I really miss that feature because it would make so much sense in today's fashion market.
Oh that’s cool! I would’ve enjoyed reading that section!
You nailed it once again with this topic 👌🏼 why we let influencers, social media and trends define who we are 🙈 thank you for this video this makes me realize that we really don’t enjoy our collections because we are thinking of the “next bag” and even selling our precious items to buy what’s in.
I’m so glad the video resonated with you Angelina! I hope you can enjoy what you’ve got! 😉
This is so true, in my own experience. I kept on buying bags then I will see a new one I get excited about, then sell the old one and buy the other bag. This was my life for 2 yrs. I wasted so much money. I also blame social media and CZcams. I had an account I considered my play money, but even for the amount that I have spent people will think I’m crazy.
Completely agree! I’ve recently sold off most of my collection but honestly it had nothing to do with the fact that it’s not trendy to own some of those things now. I made the decision over a few years of contemplation. There were many reasons for my decisions and I absolutely do not regret, but I think it needs to be done with intention.
I love this topic so much Hannah!
Impulsive buying and selling is also not my cup of tea.
I used to follow a lot of luxury youtubers, and now has unfollowed some.
The consumerist lifestyle is very tiring to watch.
Great discussion as always:) Thanks for keeping my attention without adding another “haul” or “unboxing”. Love your content!
This video has come at a perfect time while I go back and forth about whether to sell a bag, mainly for feelings of guilt as I have recently bought a new bag.
This helped me a lot as I honestly don’t feel ready to let go, only driven by the guilt associated with spending. I will earn the money back instead! 😊
I think many of us have suffered from shopping guilt. I think it’s helpful to evaluate if the guilt is pointing to a valid concern or if it’s purely a habit to make yourself feel bad after buying something. Sometimes we inflict unnecessary guilt upon ourselves. When it’s time to let go of something, do it out of joy and gratitude and say goodbye to the item with a smile!! Don’t do it with guilt or angst! 😉 💗
I really enjoyed this video! For the last couple of years I have been purchasing what I love for the last couple years and it has been the best. If I love a bag I purchase it! If it is not working for me I let it go! But I think it through and make the right move.
Good for you!! 👏
I love this so much!! Do you want you want and love, not just following trends. I have classic bags, wear skinny jeans because it makes me happy and does no harm.
Thats the good thing about getting older, you start to lose your hearing and sight, so there are no outside influences 😂
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
AMAZING!! 😂😂😂
Yes yes yes! I recently sold 2 bags that longer served a purpose in my life. With that money, I am able to be much more thoughtful and practical with my decisions-- its FREEING! Sometimes, we just need to sit back and be real about it.
Hi Hannah, love this video of yours which serves as a good reminder to those who "lost" themselves. I have my Mulberry Alexa for 10 years now and I am still loving it 😍There was one period when Mulberry discontinued this model and eventually in recent years, they are bringing it back with different sizes and colours. What I want to share is, keep what you love and not what/how other thinks 😊❤
Aw lovely!!! I’m so glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying your Mulberry Alexa for 10 years! Keep enjoying what works for you! 💕
You really made me analyze my collection and make thoughtful purchases. I stopped splurge buying and sold what I knew for sure I wouldn't miss.
I wear whatever I love and can care less what anyone thinks or says about my style. It’s what I love and enjoy. Do you! Be you!
👏
I feel that way about all my bags. I had pushed my Chanel Boy to the side because so many people said it wasn’t in ‘style’ since the Chanel 19 came out. Now I wear it again everyday!! I don’t care what everyone says. I love the purse. It’s beautiful. I don’t care that the Chanel 19 replaced it. I also have a jumbo. People think it’s too big and not in style. I love my jumbo. Don’t listen to outside ‘noise’. I wear my Alma BB, my speedy, my neverfull, my Gucci Dionysus etc. I spent a lot of money for my bags so I’m going to wear them and enjoy them!! Good video 🙌🏾
I am super grateful I found your channel!!!! (Thanks to Elma 😘). You are the voice of reason. You've stopped me a few times from impulsive purging and buying and spending my hard-earned coins on "trendy" stuff. Absolutely wonderful insights ❤
Wow, thank you!
Exactly! Women’s things are endless! 😅😅 just smart spending 😊
Absolutely endless! 😂
Thank you for sharing this and all of your points resonate with me. There is so much pressure to chase the current trend and to look “instagrammable”, you forget how to be present and enjoy the lovely things you actually have. This message transcends just luxury bags alone but is a philosophy we need to have for life in general!
Aw absolutely! This can be applied to anything! Being thankful for what we already can help us turn away from all the noise of Instagram etc!
So well-thought through as always! I’m a skinny Jean girl too so I totally get this 💖
Aw thank you! And yay for the skinny jeans! 😉
This “investment” thing baffles me as well. It’s a handbag use it! I’ve recently decided to keep my stuff and wear what I want regardless of what “they” say. I’m turning 55 in June and I admit I was starting to think I’m too “old” for some of my clothes and bags. I’m letting that notion go!
Amazing topic! Completely agree with you in not selling a bag to fund a new bag. If we saved and bought something it’s because we wanted it, now just because a newer and shinier one came along we are going to get rid of it?! We need to wear and enjoy what we have, if for any reason it doesn’t work for our lifestyle, then we can let it go.
I like watching your video even I dont have any luxury collection.. hope you and your family be blessed always😊
Thank you so much 😊
Me too! I still wear skinny jeans!
I haven’t been following close to the trend as I grow older. I understand that only wear things that looks flatter on my body. Off-shoulder, wide-legged jeans, super long wool coat….anything that make me look like a foam roller, they are not entering my closet.
A foam roller! 😂
Me too! I love this video and this comment! I just sent some pics of my Wild at Heart Neverfull to sell but I decided not to. IDGAF if it’s loud.
I just recently gave my mom a bag. I thought I would use it more. I was obsessed with in in picture. I got it from a consignment shop since its discontinued I've had it for 2 years and never used it. I love it but didn't love it on myself. I showed it to my mom and right away she fell in love. It's currently her favorite bag
That’s so lovely that your mom can enjoy the bag now!
Very wise and underscores how women need to celebrate themselves and their own taste and ideas 🌹🌹🌹
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Boy do I appreciate this video.. I love your thoughts and I really needed to hear this! Great questions and thoughts to ask myself.
Glad it was helpful!
Omg yes. The only reason I care about trends is because maybe there’s something new I might like! It’s so curious to me to want to be “on trend”. What does it signal? That you know what’s current, you’re moving with the times? I don’t get it. The chicest, truly inspiring people know themselves well, not what’s new on IG, TikTok, the runway.
I can’t agree more! I let go of my cf medium when it was $4900 and 5 years later I regret it and got it back at $8200, and with tax almost $9k. Most regrettable sale!
I sold some things bc I was ready during the whole uprise of “minimalism”. Not bc I wanted to be minimalist.
I’ve never let what’s in dictate what works for me bc im not purchasing to sell. Im purchasing to hopefully keep forever
This is how I feel about my Pochette Metis. I have used it maybe 4 times. It looks brand new, it needs to go.
Oh maybe time to let go 😊
I like how this topic applies to many other branches of item lines. The splurging is real! 😅
It always sounds ridiculous to me when ppl said ‘this handbag is so out of trend right now. You should get rid of it or keep it in the back of your closet’. I mean, hellooo this is a BAG we’re talking, it’s not like food that has expiry date. I’m gonna wear it whenever I want 😂
Right!! Love the way you put that! There are no expiration dates for our wardrobe! 🙌
Yes! Skinny jeans for the win!
I love it…NO!! Lol I need to remember that word when thinking about what “I” like and not be taken in by what’s new and being pushed..
NO is a powerful word 😉
Love it. I feel like I just received some, much needed, therapy! 😆
Aw amazing! I’m glad the video resonated.
I completely understand and agree with everything you mentioned! In the past I have sold a few things I miss but I did not regret it. I love your collection! I love your lambskin speedy, it’s one I couldn’t find & wish to have in my collection! Love this video Hanna! ❤
A very good video! I love ❤️ it when u said “I do what I want”! Good advice! Thats how I feel too when it comes to purses and fashion 🎉 I March to beat of my own music and listen to my heart and what moves me… thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
👏 👏 👏
Skinny jeans for the win!! 💯🙌🏼
This really resonated with me. Thank you!
No, no i would not sell because now is so called "Quiet Fashion" or "Loud Fashion" what ever it maybe. If i really want to sell, i would sell because i do not use it anymore, fell out of love with it and sitting at my closet taking up space, that would be the only reason i would do that. Is crazy to panic selling, then panic buying. I still love what i had so far and even more so the prices now are crazy to even buy it back again. Thanks for sharing. Well said.
💯
So often I love a bag or a piece of clothes and really enjoy wearing it and it works well for me. And then Internet tells me it is out of style. And they literally kill it all.
Another issue are events like the Balenciaga controversy where suddenly you cannot wear this stuff. But I’ve spent all my hard earned money for all these pieces and now it doesn’t feel good or right to wear them anymore.
this was soooo refreshing, thank you!!! i love your voice too btw :)
Aw thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
@@hellocatwalkcity I just subscribed to your channel, I absolutely love your detailed, honest and informative handbag content!!
Thank you for this ! Buying and selling is exhausting and I hv learned so much in the process. But for me I don’t really know if I love until I own it so the trial period has been trying. I agree with you so much. At the end of the day it’s all about finding joy and contentment and having confidence. Hugs fr Ca. ♥️
So true. It can be exhausting. But you make a good point about not knowing until you try it. So I tend to buy, try, and then decide if I’m going to let go of something else in my collection that I like less than the new acquisition. I guess it’s “one in, one out” as people say. 😉
Spot on! Thanks so much! Love your videos.
I have been thinking of selling my speedyb 30 to get the speedy b 25 but I really do like the 30. So you video really hit home:):)
I get your point and i quite agree with it. But it is not fair to "diabolize" the fact to like new styles or just "newness". I think the important thing is to find balance. Also about your video when you say you re just content with your collection, i mean you have all the classics so yes it is quite easy to be done and content 😅. But for people that are entering the game, we like to see reviews, unboxing... because we are on the begining of our journey... anyway i really do love those conversation and thank you for your videos
I’m all for new styles! It’s fun and the variety can be exciting. 😊 My only point was that if you impulsively sell your current items in a panic to keep up with the new trends, then you might miss or regret selling what you had before. As for owning “all the classics” some would argue I should keep shopping bc there are so many styles I don’t own. 😅 I think it all comes down to what makes sense for each of us. 💗
Do you think that carrying high-end luxury handbags with logos makes you more of a target of a crime? I would hope not, but sometimes these crazy thoughts lurk in the back of my mind. 🤦🏻♀️
Just being a human can get you targeted in many spaces.
What a great video. So glad you talked about this subject. What do you think about certain CZcamsrs that their platform is all basically how much better all Parisians dress and would never wear “certain labels?” If you see such people in Paris, they are obviously tourists. I find this such a generalization.
Oh gosh. I avoid videos like that. I just got back from Paris a couple weeks ago and I saw a wide variety of styles. I think when someone generalizes an entire city of people to make a video, it’s just nonsense. 😂
I'm glad I ran into this video and I'd say first for me is my safety. I just don't first safe carrying my loud luxury. Also i have two toddlers and I don't want to baby three children's at once. Lastly sentimental because my husband purchase for me. Nevertheless until I stop contemplating I'm holding off for now.
Love the video… thank you ❤ so many sense 😊
I wish they’d bring back the Speedy BB. I really like the smaller non empriente logo pattern.
Besides the great content, you also have the most beautiful nail polish always! Just bought the peachy one you had on another video and loving it! Thank you so much! Would you share what color is this beautiful blue please? 😍🌷
Excellent advice...Excellent video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I never follow trends. I buy what I like and that’s it! P.S. I still wear my skinny jeans too 😂
Yay for the skinny jeans club! 😂
Amen to all of it sweetheart 🙌🏻🙌🏻💖💖 Sending lots of love and have a wonderful weekend 😘
💗 💗 💗
🥰
Love your take on this topic!!
I’m so glad it resonated!
love this video..i must say, you forgot the speedy 22 which was the next limited Ed speedy. i have her in my collection and get so many compliments. its coussin leather style ❤
Only buy what you love!
Great video! Thanks for sharing 😊 this interesting topic.
Wearing conspicuous logos will never be found among some groups and with such groups has nothing to do with what is currently in fashion. If you are not part of that group and wanting to dress appropriately if you are with them, then you shouldn’t be concerned with wearing your conspicuous logos. People should wear what makes them feel comfortable and like themselves in life, even if it’s head-to-toe logos. For me, wearing logos or long fashiony nails has never been something I’d do despite trends.
Durable-schmurable! If I was told I had to get rid of all my LVs but one, I would keep my Ink in lambskin. It is such a fantastic bag. I would keep it because I enjoy it and hooey with everyone else. But I do like that it is rare. I have had and sold a couple of empriente bags and they are great, but this is far more my style.
Haha right!!! “Hooey with everyone else.” 😂 👏
I love how you always make sense 😘
Aw thank you
Great video. You are so right. Love your nail polish, what color is it?
I pretty much stop buying and selling.
Oh God, the "classy" thing! If CZcams shows me a thumbnail with that word in the title, I ask the algorithm to remove it. That's how to get me to never watch your video, lol. I loved this Hanna. Be yourself!! Don't we always say that to our kids?
So funny! I think dictating what’s classy and what’s not is actually not a very classy thing to do in the first place! 😂
Great video. On a different note, do you get a lot of use out of your jumbo? I’m considering getting one since I already have a medium with gold hardware. But I’m not really into big bags because I don’t like the weight. I know you’re also sensitive to weight so I’d love to hear your thoughts on the bag.
If you don’t like big bags and you’re concerned about weight, I don’t think a jumbo is the right choice for you. The jumbo double flaps are quite heavy. I have the single flap version and it’s lighter but still gets heavy if I fill it. Hope this helps.
no I hate the speed of luxury train these days, a new trend new style every other day. making the bag purchases feel cheap. stick with your instinct and know what you like, not what they want you to purchase. just like those bv green bags. used to see them everywhere on social media and that actually put me off on purchasing.
Yesssss skinny jeans🎉! Love everything u have to say here!❤
Great video, thank you.
I really love the triumph, but honestly i am keeping what I have. I am a contemporary bag user and buyer. I can admire the lux brands but I am really just an LV mongering person .
Excellent video 👌🏽❤️
I am sorry but I am so confused... I came across your channel almost a week ago and I subscribed to get the dopamine hit from seeing pretty stuff... but you have like genuine conversations on this channel... What is this world? I think the conclusion of your video is a pretty accurate description... Can't judge a book by its cover....
Además lo más importante es no comprar bolsos de firma acosta del sufrimiento...De animales.Pagar cifras tan elevadas de dinero por un bolso que lleva mucha gente no motiva nada,la mejor motivación es contribuir a no sacrificar a los animales. Hay bolsos por 50 dolares preciosos y hacen el mismo servicio. La industria de la piel es un negocio cruel que solo favorece a los ricos crueles.
Really good points! But it felt like i was getting told off 😅
Ahaha, I think I got overly excited! 😂
@@hellocatwalkcity hahaha 😝
Handbag gospel...AMEN!
Well said
Thank you
I like your videos and you have a very nice voice…….. but I really cannot watch the constant gesticulation….. perhaps insert pictures instead. I hope you do not mind my saying….. maybe it is just me…..
Quiet luxury is stupid. I wouldn’t pay 2k for a bag to get “lowkey”. Thats maybe for rich people who can afford many of these bags. But if u just buy 2 a year. Get a classic print. Lol quiet luxury is a trend made by rich people. Enjoy what u like. I like prints.
For rich people it is not a “trend” but being secure enough to not need to flaunt someone else’s “status” logos owned by everyone and also a matter of security because thieves don’t recognize stealth wealth bags. And buying items that are timeless and last for years or even decades would not be considered “stupid” by most.
Just buy what fits your taste. We can’t compete with multi-million dollar customers. These people can influence the trends, they can buy as much as what available in the market.
@@sarahterry2140 not all rich people do quiet luxury and I believe quiet luxury is personal style for some people.
@@sarahterry2140 because they don’t need a brand to feel rich. They already are. We buy luxury bags because we want to know how does it feel to have something like that. Thats true
I think all of your bags are quiet luxury. If you were decked out in logo head to toe, it would be another matter. One logo item per outfit doesn’t scream loud to me. Wasn’t logo mania the way to go just a year ago? Luxury shouldn’t be fast fashion but sometimes it is. Skinny jeans are my favorite. 😊
Thanks for the advice my lady. I’ll keep my bags til I’m sure. 😅🙏🏼😘😘😘Sandy
This is a strange video from you imo. Content and intent is very good and I’m not one of the people “reaching out” to you but …. Kinda seems like you were throwing those folks under the bus. If I were one of those people that had reached out (probably just subscribers excited for you and connecting with you) the tone of this video would sting.
Thanks for the feedback. The video wasn’t meant to make anyone feel like they’re being thrown under the bus. It was my sincere reaction and feelings towards the notion that we must constantly buy more and keep replacing or upgrading everything we own in order to be happy. I am not offended by what anyone has said to me as I know my viewers mean well! 😊 At the same time, I hope no one is offended by my reaction of saying “NOPE, I won’t be buying it.” I just wanted to put out the message that just because I’m a CZcamsr doesn’t mean I’ll shop endlessly and mindlessly. I hope people can appreciate that.
@@hellocatwalkcity Thanks for responding. I think they can and will. You are a very authentic creator on CZcams. I really enjoy your videos and also appreciate the message behind the content you put out. It is refreshing that a luxury content creator is talking about some limits and strategies to decide on those. I don't usually comment in this manner, but thought you would care that it came across that way (at least to me.)
@@lmcdowell5616 Absolutely, appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me! 💕
I enjoyed the topic and it is very relevant. However, you seemed annoyed and angry. I wouldn’t let people get to you.
Aw definitely not annoyed or angry. Just excited about the topic and the New Yorker in me came out. 😂
i actually went back to usibg my mcm bags because its leather and has a lot of for my husbands necessity. i curated my closet to lv, chanel
and ysl and im not buying anymore
Yes mcm has some beautiful bags, my cousins girlfriend has an everyday errands bag that I love so much. I’m planning to get it just for my errands
so sad i didn‘t saw this video earlier 🥹 I sold my speedy 30 to get a different bag and now I regret it
You are not alone
😭
