Yes! Don’t settle! I’ve purchased bags in a color I didn’t even want because the color I wanted was sold out. Patience is so important. Bags will usually come back in stock and sometimes the price will be even better. There will always be another sale, there is always next year. Thanks for sharing. You really tried hard to love those Barlows. I almost bought the mini one fully knowing it’s not for me.

[@Drelovesbags]

Yep I tried it. And I knew better. Oh well… thx for watching!

[@reneehampton7665]

Welcome to the club. I know as a luxury and contemporary handbag lover, I don’t even want to talk about the money I have waisted and have no platform to sell them on.

[@Drelovesbags]

It’s a never ending cycle for me, but I think I’m getting better at figuring out what actually works. I’ve listed a lot of my stuff on eBay and Poshmark

[@denicejarrett8062]

I can relate! I have finally realized that I am a crossbody girl, and I like small to medium bags. However ; that has not stopped me from buying totes! We live and we learn. Thank for sharing!💜

[@Drelovesbags]

Thank you so much for watching! When you love handbags like we do it’s so easy to get caught up because something is pretty or you like the color. But Im slowly figuring out what works for me.

[@Licia1318]

When you said “yall going to laugh” and you held up the pink one I busted out laughing 😂😂😂. I’ve been there myself. I purchased 2 MK bags earlier this year just because they were on sale and I didn’t have those colors in my collection. Tags still on and the stuffing still inside. I realized quickly I didn’t have those colors because I don’t wear those colors smh 😅. TFS!!!

[@Drelovesbags]

I still can’t believe I did that , but I guess misery loves company because I’m glad to learn that I’m not alone in this😂

[@olamaye]

Great video! I definitely need to take inventory and make some bag decisions. 😁 Thanks for sharing! ❤️👜❤️☝🏽❤️

[@Drelovesbags]

Thank you so much for watching! We are all works in progress 😂

[@dona2991]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I'm afraid to calculate the amount of money I wasted over the last 12 months.....We are certainly works in progress. 😍

[@Drelovesbags]

I’m really trying to do better 😩😂. Thank you so much for watching!

[@HereIGoAJen]

I way over purchased in 2024 to the point I’m like..embarrassed to say how many bags I purchased. I did sell 13 bags this year so at least I purged. On a positive note..I LOVE your denim vest!! Love it! Happy Holidays!

[@Drelovesbags]

I need to do a quick inventory of everything I sold this year. I definitely over purchased . So much so that I found another bag that should have been included in this video😩😂. It was stored away in another room so I completely forgot about it lol

[@HereIGoAJen]

@@Drelovesbags lol I was storing some bags in my guest room closet and the last time my mom came to visit she left with 2 of my coach bags! She was like if you’re not using these I will. ….there was no arguing with her about it

[@Drelovesbags]

@HereIGoAJen 😂😂😂. Now see I’m a different monster. I’m probably a little psycho when it comes to my bags please don’t touch and no you cannot borrow it 😂

[@HereIGoAJen]

@@DrelovesbagsHA! I have a Sicilian mother…there’s literally no stopping her

[@Drelovesbags]

@ listen, I totally get it😂. My mother is still a firecracker. I say don’t touch but if she’s really wanted some thing I would not be able to stop her. Nor would I try 😂

[@teresaoneal5254]

Great video, Sis. 🥰😍😘

[@Drelovesbags]

Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@DeeDee_Bean]

Omg 😳 I really hope you find what you really want. I love my mini it’s so cute. 🥰 that’s for sharing 👛🛍️🚢🙏🦆

[@Drelovesbags]

Thanks for watching!

[@joeltwo21]

Yup. I been there and working on not impulse buying. I tried hard with all the recent sales not to buy just because the price is low. I usually get stuck on that but I have 3 daughters so I easily pass stuff to them. It still makes for me wasting money. It doesnt seem to bother them.🤣❤ tfs . Amen to the work in progress

[@Drelovesbags]

Of course it doesn’t bother them they benefit from your impulse shopping 😂

[@MrsQuesFavoriteThings]

I learned the hard way…don’t settle. Yes I’m hanging on to items I purchased that don’t work any more for me and plan on selling them…soon…one day? 🤷🏽‍♀️ 🤣🤣Thanks for sharing!

[@Drelovesbags]

It’s an everyday struggle over her 😂. Thx for watching !

[@gg9669]

I have the small Brenna as well and I had to use it as a shoulder bag until I come across the mini Barlow in the DB75 which is the one I originally wanted.

[@turquoisepurple7sky151]

Very true indeed

[@raianoor]

I have the DB75 in zip zip satchel and love it

[@Drelovesbags]

I have the small shoulder bag and it’s perfect

[@raianoor]

@Drelovesbags i have a question, this week i will ho to the coach store to compare color on the beige one, I thought it was going to be more beige but is a tan color.

[@Drelovesbags]

@raianoor what bag are you referring to?

[@raianoor]

@@Drelovesbags the eliza

[@raianoor]

There is the one that you have and the other one with no silver

[@jaks_bag_attack]

I love the brenna

[@Drelovesbags]

I thought I did 😩😂

[@wlj4501]

The premise of your message is received and so timely for more reasons than you'll ever know!! But on another note, what made you decide to lock your hair? Is it all your hair? What was your hair and texture like before you transitioned into locks?

[@Drelovesbags]

I’m glad you found the video helpful. About my hair… I’ve been natural since 2007 and I decided in 2019 I was tired of doing my hair lol. So I put my hair in two strand twists and let it lock. I was probably almost a year in before I started getting my hair professionally retwisted. Yes this is all my hair and my natural curul paterna is kind of loose. Probably 3c if i had to guess. Hope that helps

[@wlj4501]

@Drelovesbags Thank you. I appreciate you sharing your journey.

[@Drelovesbags]

@@wlj4501 you’re welcome! Everyone’s is different but mine was frustrating for the first couple of years. My hair was super frizzy and took forever to lock.

[@impursehappy2333]

Well you know we all seem to have a fetish with something or a specific style/size in the handbag community. All three are cute though. I even bought a small Brenna satchel in Fuschia Wexford leather thinking I was buying a large. I didn’t read the info well. I’ve only carried her twice. We do strange things. TFS and your hair is beautiful! 😊❤

[@JoleeSO]

We are all still making terrible handbag purchases! 😊

[@Drelovesbags]

Yes we are 😩😂

[@lynndupree1205]

Hello again Dre! ❤ I admit to being a Dooney addict. 😂 But I try to ignore the prices as I scroll through, just so I'm not tempted to buy something based only on the low price. I would rather have 9 really special bags that I LOVE, than 50 so-so bags. Btw, I adore the safiano leather. I have a dome satchel Dooney in ecru safiano that looks so rich in the summer. The ecru is a very soft looking shade. Thanks for this VERY usefull review Dre. 😊

[@Drelovesbags]

Thank you so much for watching! I like Dooney Saffiano leather too, but it’s just not what i wanted in that silhouette

[@lindap7719]

😂Love that ~ "rebound bag." Guilty. Welcome to the handbag cuckoo's nest!🥴😂❣️🌻

[@Drelovesbags]

😂😂😂. That’s all it was 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@conniepleasantnails]

I can relate. Buying handbags is like building a wardrobe. I hadn’t really defined my style with handbags and bought around 4 Dooney’s no 5, that I no longer own. Two small Bitsy bags, it was the color not the style, one that said it was a shoulder bag and it wasn’t, another that was a small binoculars case style (not for me), also that popular satchel in the Florentine that has a small opening…also not for me. I have really learned A LOT over the past few years. I have to totally love a bag to buy it now. I have a small Barlow in black Florentine leather and I LOVE IT. I try not to use it too often to savor it. LOL. I love Saffiano leather because it kinda reminds me of the EPI LV leather. It’s my more affordable version of it. It’s got a classic look to it. I look forward to the years to come 😂❤❤

[@Drelovesbags]

I’m still defining my style as it has changed a bit. I probably have about 5 or 6 bags I need to get rid of now. Thx for watching

[@conniepleasantnails]

@@Drelovesbags but we’re having fun in the journey 💖 Happy Holidays Dre

[@Drelovesbags]

@@conniepleasantnails yes we are, and thats what its all about. Even the bags that didnt work out gave me some bit of joy while i had them
