*I NEED YOUR HELP* Declutter my Designer bag collection with me!

[@hellocatwalkcity]

Hi babe. I enjoy decluttering and have never regretted letting go of my items because I take FOREVER to decide 😅 and when I do, I’m 100% sure and never look back. So, take your time! With that being said - here’s what I’d put on the chopping block … 1. FLP tote (black one, you said it’s your least favorite of the 3 and it’s heavy, so bye bye) 2. Bottega Jodie (just keep the beige pouch for a bit of BV in your collection and let the lemon lime Jodie go) 3. Speedy (it sounds like you’re hanging on to it for sentimental reasons bc it was your first. I let go of my first after holding on to it for over 10+ years… it was a Gucci. One day, you’ll let it go bc sentiment isn’t enough reason to keep something in your closet. So might as well let it go now and free yourself of it. Plus, it’ll make someone else very happy to own it.) 4. Loewe puzzle (you have plenty of tan brown bags now and I think you’ll get more use out of your Roulis in the same color) 5. YSL mini Lou (you already have so many beautiful black bags, this doesn’t add anything special) 6. Alexander McQueen 7. Mulberry 8. Alma BB (the color makes you happy but I think the other colors you have make you even happier 😉) 9. Gucci Dionysus 10. Chanel mini top handle (keep the mini square - don’t ever let something go now just because you THINK you won’t wear it when you’re older… this black mini is more versatile than the light colored top handle version) 11. Mini Evelyne (I personally own and love this bag for casual days, but if you don’t use it, let it go…hubby will get over it 😂) EDIT: if you plan on becoming a mom in the future, the Speedy may be worth hanging on to for that reason. It could make a great mom bag for under the stroller, playground visits, travel, etc. But even then, you may prefer a bag with a strap or longer handles to be hands-free. Anyway, something to consider! xx

[@pappyone6062]

I love the curating series! Please bring it back. That series is so good as it is. Although I have too many bags myself, I can’t let most of them go at this time.

[@IsabellesStyle]

I will definitely bring back the curating series if I start getting emails! It is definitely not easy to let bags go🙈 Thank you so much for being here🥰

[@simplysocial8485]

Thank you for sharing with us, you have a beautiful collection. Out of the items in your Maybe pile, I would keep the alma bb, black Chanel square mini and maybe the speedy…. The color of the alma bb is gorgeous and the square mini is great condition for the age

[@xpinkpyr0x]

I feel like in order to get a full idea, your contemporary bag collection needs to be included as well. Out of your maybes: keep the LV Speedy since that’s a sentimental purchase and will always retain its resale value. Sell the Jodie since you’re keeping the dumpling in the intrecciato and you can get the color in a contemporary bag. The two brown bags can go since you use the Chloe and Hermes so much more. I like the pop of red the Alma gives, and even though it’s a cool red, it’s still warmer than the magnolia. I’d probably wait another Christmas/LNY holiday season and wear it through the summer to see if you get any use out of it. As for the Chanels, I’d try them on with different outfits for a while even if they’re not the bag you intend to wear for the day since you’re comparing shapes and not colors. I would personally keep them both, but I think you’re right in that everyone has a square vs rectangle preference.

[@quietreveries]

1. LV Speedy: Keep because it's sentimental. It goes against what others are often espousing but once you sell a sentimental item, it's hard to get back that exact item. 2. Loewe Puzzle: Keep, especially if you're letting go of the Alexa. While you use your Chloe Woody tote and Roulis a lot, the Puzzle may actually be more practical when it rains/snows etc. or when you travel (fits water bottle). 3. McQueen: Sell. If you only used it once or twice after getting it, then it's probably not the bag for you. 4. BV Jodie: Sell. It sounds impractical. 5. LV Alma: Sell. It seems like you've been hanging onto it for a while as a "pop of colour" but you've got quite a few similar ones and you seem to gravitate towards fuschia/magenta/pinks in your clothing vs. reds. 6. Chanel Mini Square & Top Hand Rectangular: Keep both as you sound unsure and they're hard to replace if you regret selling them. 7. BV Pouch: You decided to keep this one but I'd consider evaluating whether you will really use this bag in the future...the way you described it sounded really impractical outside of your Korea trip. Just a thought!

[@princessdyn]

Agree with everything except LV Alma bb. It doesn't hurt to have that one pop of color to use when you want something different than your usual things. I feel like she will regret letting that go.

[@lauratnamey1308]

Isabelle the puzzle is so chic and timeless and I’d get rid of the Chloe tote all day before it! Also I’d say goodbye to the Alma, Jodie, Chanel black square, McQueen, FLP Burgundy and Gucci. Good luck! You have such beautiful taste

[@summerrye]

Hi Isabelle! I would keep the two Chanel bags since they have become an investment, you can always decide to sell them later. I am sentimental too, so I would understand wanting to keep the LV speedy ☺ Excited for you to bring back the curating series 💕

[@katemiller7874]

Yesss. Always keep Chanel

[@dupain-cheng_2262]

Hey Isabelle! It’s Tian 😁 thanks for the fun video! I personally would keep the LV speedy and i know a lot of people might think it’s outdated but i think it’s still very relevant because it really is a classic and can be passed on! It’s durable, lightweight and It’s also your first bag too! I would also keep the chanel bags at least until the next time you declutter just to be sure but they are very nice investment pieces, i think if you really had to let one of the two go, i would choose to let go of the top handle only because the mimi square is more classic! As for the rest in the maybe pile, i think you should definitely let them go! 😅😅😅

[@Lillianna11]

Basically keep everything in the “Maybe pile” except the two medium brown bags - those can go! Definitely keep the grey mini rectangle top handle Chanel, the colour is gorgeous…but also keep the square mini - it’s an heirloom at this point and could be passed down to a loved one or daughter (if you want kids & have a daughter) The 2 LV’s are classic and the yellow Botega is a colour you don’t have anything else like 💛

[@emilylucitt]

I love bag curation videos! It helps me learn about how a bag wears after time and the little things others like/dislike about them (so I can decide how I would react). I like the idea of a "maybe" pile that you can hide from yourself, then rediscover and decide what you think at a later date. No need to put pressure on yourself to make a quick decision!

[@peijielim]

I would keep the two Chanels and the LV bag with sentimental value. Can’t wait to see your updated collection! ☺️

[@vanl4362]

I would keep the 2 Chanel and the LV, too!

[@AckGirl]

Yes, please bring back that series! For your collection, I would let go of the brown bucket bag, yellow jodie and red alma. Keep the rest 💕

[@IsabellesStyle]

I am excited to bring it back if there is enough interest🥰 Thank you babe!

[@kyee914]

I would say keep the speedy and two chanels! you can always resell the chanels at a later date. First bag purchases have a special place in my heart and closet! plus the speedy will never go out of style

[@lucijapetric3739]

Every bag that you put in a maybe pile it is right thing to let go. If you aren’t sure about something its a sign that something is not right. One question I ask myself when I decluter is: does it spark a joy? ✨ if yes then i keep it. Besides if you sell them you could buy a bag that is on your wishlist and that wouldnt collect dust on a shelf. I have 8 bags in my collection and everyone of them has a purpose and a job. I learned that letting things that you outgrown is okay and better things will replace them. 😇💓

[@hbluv5570]

Yes please bring back the series. Loved watching. My two cents on your maybe pile is keep both Chanels because they will always increase in value and the Alma bb because of the red pop of color and because it's a classic. IMO the rest of the maybes can go:) I recently did the same with my collection down to 20. Good luck!

[@wen.ye.y]

YESSS curate your bags series was my favorite series ever on KZbin!!! It’s always so interesting to see everyone’s collections and how to use it mindfully 💕

[@ngocthp]

Hi Isabelle! From your ‘’maybe” pile I’d definitely keep the Chanel Square Mini as it’s different to the rectangular ones and has increased in value so much over the years! The only other bag I’d keep from that pile is the Speedy partly due to the sentimental value but also that due to its great condition, it would make a great baby bag as it is a classic style.

[@WhatLeslyeLoves]

This was such a fun video to watch. I’d keep both Chanel bags (until you secure a black mini rectangle), the LV Alma BB because the color is so special, and sell the rest.

[@harryginnyalways]

I love how committed you are to keeping your bag collection curated - I definitely need to do the same and earn back some of my hard earned $! I would declutter all but the Chanels - they're just so hard to detach from! As I approach 30 I'm also more keen on the rectangular minis over the squares.

[@nikkilin7226]

Just my thoughts - LV speedy, though some may say it’s classic, I feel it’s becoming an “old” or rather outdated design and doesn’t polish your look, so part away. same for the LV red épi leather bag. You can perhaps take some mod shots and frame those photos to keep the sentimental value - BV yellow bag, the design is cute but not easy to use with the opening. The yellow is also a bit close to neon-ish, not that easy to match. so part away - Loewe puzzle, it’s design is unique, well made and practical with good capacity. Some of my friends love it when they become moms. So perhaps you can consider keeping - The Alexander M handbag, agreed it’s unique but it’s boxy indeed. The curves don’t make the bag look elegant (feel a bit too “fat”) so part away - Chanel, the investment bags require high maintenance. Typically the classic black holds value better so I would part away the white Chanel. The investment can only be an investment if you really make money from it at the price you can accept. After parting away these bags, you can add 1-2 new styles into the collection.

[@IsabellesStyle]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thought Nikki! I really appreciate it🥰 I especially feel inspired by the idea of taking photos and keeping the sentimental memories that way😍 That an amazing idea! As for the other bags, I do agree with your logical reasons! Thank you babe!

[@iljademan5761]

Hi Isabelle, these are such difficult decisions! Wouldn't you want to start a bag renting out business with these bags you're thinking of letting go? I think you'll earn more that way and if you have regrets you can take a bag temporarily out of rotating. If that's not to your liking, my advice (as a pretty cluttered person) would be: 1. Keep te speedy, it is a classic, you're first love and I don't know if you would like to have children but it's great to keep some toys in and snacks :) 2. Keep the Loewe, I think the puzzle bag is graduating into the classics. Maybe you've temporarily fallen out of love with this bag, but I remember your video about the puzzle being the perfect fall bag and I agree, I bought it over a year ago because of you :) furthermore, it's capacity is better than the Hermes Roulis and I think the woody tote is very much a bag of the moment, it's quite open so less save for on holiday + loud logos 3. Let go of the Alexander McQueen, it looks cute but it's not comfortable on the body and you never used it 4. Wait with selling the mini Jodie till summer is over, maybe you'll reach more for it during the warmer months? 5. Alma BB is a really nice red colour, it can stand the rain and has a good capacity. To me there's no downside to this bag, apart from the strap. That said, I think it should go if you don't use this bag while it is so user-friendly. 6. Ysl camera bag: you definitely have nicer black bags, maybe exchange this one for a green or yellow colour if you want to have a indestructible mini bag that's under $2000? I still have my doubts if you would use it in another colour, since it's more of a starter bag and your collection is on a very different level. 7. Gucci can be let go 8. The ones at your parents that your mom doesn't use can leave too. 9. Bye bye mulberry 10. Don't sell any Chanel classics, they've been going strong for decades (unless you need the financial gain).

[@yvonneyang1261]

Agree about the 3 you’re definitely selling. Out of the “maybe” pile, I think you should sell the following for the following reasons: 1) LV Alma - the color family and capacity is too similar to the Magnolia Kelly, not quite as hard to replace; 2) BV mini Jodie in Yellow - you’re keeping the mini pouch so will still have an interciatto bag in your collection, the opening is too much of a hassle as well; 3) Alexander McQueen bag-cute but the shape is rigid, if you’re keeping another tan bag, I’d keep the puzzle bag bc it’s roomier, more classic in shape and better quality leather!; 4) the mini Chanel with the top handle if you keep the medium flap for now.

[@jfollmer7]

Love watching your videos! I would keep both Chanel bags. They are harder to come by and the prices keep increasing. Also one day if you ever have a daughter the square mini flap would be such a beautiful piece to pass down. I could also understand keeping the speedy for sentimental reasons. I would let go of all of the others especially if you aren’t reaching for them.❤

[@thomasborbely2300]

Yeeees please bring that series backkkkkkk! 😊 i loved it!!!!

[@karinefrommontreal]

Hi Isabelle! You helped me to curate my collection and Im glad to help you with yours! Here are my FAVS MUST KEEP: 1-keep only the FLP blue because its 4 seasons and your first (the rest can go). 2- nothing is essential, depending on your sentimental/functional side 3- Keep just the mini Evelyn 4- keep Hermes mini Kelly, mini square black Chanel, Chanel beige medium flap, Kelly x2 and your Birkin 5- keep Mini Dior. In your maybe pile: keep the mini square only (all the rest can be sold)🫠💁🏻‍♀️💪🏼

[@barbwinkler2291]

Keep the two Chanel bags from your maybe group. You are fortunate to have them and their value will only increase. 😊

[@szechinghong1237]

Keep all your Chanel’s and LVs! They’re so beautiful and classic

[@IsabellesStyle]

I know what you mean🙈 Thank you babe!

[@katemiller7874]

Yess

[@suzannehall5200]

I really enjoy the culling series. It would be nice to see them come back. With the maybe pile I would get rid of most of them as the majority are brown and how many brown bags does one person need? I would keep the grey Chanel mini with the top handle as it’s so chic and ageless. The same with the Alma especially as you don’t have another red bag. I feel the same as you about the square mini, it’s very little kiddie and the rectangle is a much better choice. It’s a good idea to keep all of your work totes. I used to find that if I wore a bag 5 days a week for half of the year I would very quickly get bored with it and want a change.

[@deborahc16]

Hi hun, I enjoy decluterring and try to do it every 6 months or so ! For your collection I would let go the following : - mini Alexa , you don’t use it - Loewe puzzle bag - Bottega mini Jodie - ysl mini Lou camera bag , too similar to other mini black bags and Chanel and H have to stay - Speedy DE , let it go, memories don’t have to rely on an object but rather in moments and feelings - I Know your hubby likes it but I would let go the mini Evelyn and keep the mini roulis - let go the BV pouch you can find something a little more practical with the same color - I would let go the Alma bb if you don’t reach for it - keep the Chanel classic - Would sell the Gucci mini WOC , Jimmy choo is more unique and Dior is gorgeous

[@erinreed8750]

I love this series! I'm currently cleaning out my closet and going through all of my things too, so it's exciting to see someone else doing it. For the mini Chanel, maybe you could keep it and give it to your future child? That would keep it in your collection but almost as an heirloom for future generations. If not your child, maybe a family member's? Just a thought, but also congratulations on your pregnancy!

[@bobbidazzler1343]

I'm impressed you managed so many in the 'maybe' pile. Please keep your Chanel bags. If you give them away they will be so difficult to replace if you miss them and will cost you thousands to repurchase. I'd sell the others though. Shame the mini Alexa didn't work out for you. It's gorgeous! X

[@Bagellatte]

I sold off so many and only have 4 bags now. 1 faure Le page tote, 1 LV epi Alma Bb, 1 Chanel Woc and 1 LV speedy Bandouliere 20. 😊Mainly I use my Lululemon backpack and tote for work. 😊 I think owning a few good bags is enough… collecting $ is the best😅

[@ClaraZeela]

Too many totes, goodbye speedy, chloe, Alex Mcq,, good bye loewe, mulberry, keep the Fendi (unique), goodbye mini Evelyne. Goodbye YSL Camera, goodbye Bottega BV, goodbye Alma (maybe?), goodbye Gucci, prefer Jimmy Choo for fancy (also memorable). Chanel can decide to sell later.....good luck babe! love your collection!!

[@IsabellesStyle]

You are ruthless babe haha! Love it😆 This is what I needed to hear😅 Thank you so much for wise advice babe!

[@ClaraZeela]

[@nicolechang9129]

Could you please share how you will sell them? I want to downsize my handbag collection but unsure how I can do it well.

[@karenf8032]

Love your collection 💗 I would definitely keep the 1. LV speedy for sentimental reasons (my first lux handbag too), 2. Chanel top handle, love that color and so hard to get (I agree about letting go of the square mini and how it looks like a younger style) and 3. Loewe puzzle bag, it’s a great everyday bag, versatile color, and the leather is amazing. Hope this helps! 😉

[@rebeccajames6111]

Hi Isabelle, I wouldn’t recommend letting go of the Loewe puzzle bag as you may want a more carefree option instead of the Hermes Roulis, and both Chanel minis are so hard to get and really classic bags I think you’ll regret letting go of… although this may also depend on whether there’s something on your wish list you intend to replace them with …? The remainder of the maybe items I think could go

[@pattywilliams788]

Hey there, Isabelle! What a cool video and a pretty collection. Of the maybe pile of handbags, if they were mine, I would definitely keep the Chanel bags. As you mentioned, they are hard to come by and, also, with the quality issues of the newer handbags I’ve heard about, the older ones are prized. I also like the Alma BB. It’s a festive red and it can go for the Holiday Season as well as Valentine’s Day. The handbags I like least are the Puzzle Bag and the Mini Jody bag. I hope this helps and thank you so much for engaging us and sharing your collection.

[@jewelnabq01]

Thank you for doing this. I need to declutter and this has given me some thought on how I will make decisions. Would love to see an update on what you decided. Where do you sell your bags? I have always wanted the LV Alma epi. 😊

[@Stella-yk1bt]

I think you should keep the Speedy. You’ll probably use it more in the future. I regret having gotten rid of mine.

[@qr5vy]

If money is less of a factor, I’d keep the Chanels as a future heirloom. Speedy could go (and be replaced with a 25 bandoulière 😂). All others you don’t wear can absolutely go- just keep everything that provides you with joy ❤️ I sold over 30 bags over two years and now do not exceed 9 bags in total. If I want one, I sell one first. Best choice for me, I had become a hoarder.

[@gaelankathleen2973]

I would absolutely keep the Speedy. It was your first bag and has been around for decades in production. It is worth holding on to and passing down. Might not be on trend but has staying power. I would swap the woody with the Loewe bag. I feel the woody is a trend bag whereas the Loewe bag is much more timeless. Plus, you spoke of how you feel you have outgrown the black mini Chanel, same could happen here and you could come to appreciate the Loewe more later on. As for Chanel, i would keep both. But if you had to choose, say goodbye to the black. You seem more enthused on the white Chanel.

[@iliu91745]

I think you should sell the Dionysus, Alexa and Mini Lou for sure. As for the other 7: 1. Yellow Jodie - sell, i think you have identified the bag to be impractical for your liking, and while the color is lovely, you can always find another bag that you like more in the same color. [I think when we are decluttering, sometimes we are so focused on what we are losing, we forget to look at what freeing ourselves from the burden of the item can open up] 2. Speedy - sell, i think based on your video (and your previous bag collection videos), it seems to be a purely sentimental bag, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it's also okay to accept that we've outgrown that time of our lives. However, if you are still unsure, I think that's okay too. 3. Alexander McQueen - sell, I think you might be hanging on to this because there's an "idealized" version of your life that you imagined (maybe based on the K-drama?) but it doesn't actually fit your life. Also, maybe in some ways you feel plagued by the bag because you haven't used it much - like the way that we are reluctant to let go of a book that we bought ages ago but havent gotten around to reading. We feel like somehow we haven't gotten our money's worth or something, but based on the way you explained it, it doesn't sound like a piece that adds any actual value to your life other than just aesthetics. 4. Loewe puzzle - sell, I think it's pretty clearly that functionally you have replaced this bag, plus you've gotten a lot of use out of it. Maybe time to let it go to another home where it will be cherished and loved by someone else as much as you did. 5. Chanel gray mini - keep for now. Of all the bags in your maybe pile, I think this would be the hardest to replace, plus I think the top handle makes it suitable for evening (though I do think maybe this would be replaced by your new Lady Dior as they look to be of similar color way) 6. Chanel mini square - sell, I think the Mini Kelly has completely replaced this bag (and more) in your collection. Plus since the bag is in such high demand right now, it would be nice to be able to make money off the bag (after years of enjoyment) and also let it have a second life with someone else. If you are unsure, maybe put away the mini Kelly for 1-3 months, and see if you reach for this bag and assess how you feel (ie. if you miss the Mini Kelly or prefer this). You could also use the money you make on this to purchase another Chanel that you'd get more use out of. 7. Alma BB - sell, I think this bag has been completely replaced by your (very very) beautiful magenta Kelly. While it is very cute, I don't think you would ever pick this bag over that one, so she is just left on the shelf. May be time to let her go to another home where she will help someone else create other memories :) PS. I think if you sell all the bags in your sell pile and your maybe pile, it would be justifiable for you to keep both the 2 Chanel's in your maybe pile ;) Plus the proceeds of these bags could fund your next purchases!

[@gloriachan6243]

I'd keep the Loewe, it's such a classic and unique bag. Keep one of the Chanel bags - probs the rectangular. The speedy has sentimental value but you can always use that money to purchase another bag on your wishlist and the sentiment will transfer with it. The new bag will have a story. The rest of the maybes and definitely letting go ones can all be let go of 🙂

[@DanielaNo]

I would keep both Chanel minis and get rid of the rest. It pains me so say this because I love the Puzzle bag but since you have found an amazing replacement for it you can easily let it go.

[@IsabellesStyle]

I know right? I do still love the puzzle bag but you are right, I definitely use the Roulis more! Thanks so much babe!

[@dheydiaries97]

I love the “curate your bag collection series”. It somehow help me justify and curate my collection. Your opinions are good! Please have atleast once month. And about your maybe pile, I’ll let go everything except for the two Chanel bags and the LV speedy. Same situation like you, my speedy Bando(size 35) Is my first luxury bag but I don’t use at all since smaller bags came in. I tried to sell it but I just can’t. . So it will forever stay with me. 😅 you can keep it and give to your future daughter😊

[@janerdei170]

From the maybe pile, keep the 2 Chanels and the Loewe puzzle bag in tan. Sell the rest. From the keep pile, sell the FLP zip, the Chloe woody (too trendy and logo-heavy), Hermes mini evelyn (you can tell your hubby that you'd rather get something you would love and use more, he'll understand for sure) 🙂

[@BeantownMrs]

Thinking about the Chanels, if you let them go, would you be willing to pay the new prices for them to get them back if you missed having them? Of course this is dependent on whether you feel like you'll miss them. Maybe send them to live at your parents house and if you really do miss them, you can get them back easily? ETA Another thing to think about is if you do let them go and do want them back, Chanel's been having so many quality issues that even if you did get them back at the higher price, the quality might be mediocre.

[@Handbaglvoer]

This is the best video from your curating series! Can’t wait til find out what you decided to sell. Base on your collection, on the maybe pile, I would get rid of Puzzle bag and Alexander bag since you have other tan option bags to replace both of them. I also would get rid of the yellow bag cuz it’s impractical and plus you have that small blue tote with the yellow tassel for that pop of yellow. I would hold on to both Chanel bags cuz they’re hard to find and maybe one day you’ll pass it on to your daughter 😅 I also would hold on to the red Alma bb until you get another red bag (such as the red capucine you’ve been eyeing) cuz I think red Alma bb and your Hermes purple is so different. Lastly, the speedy 30…this is tough, but I think you should hold on to it until you have babies and if you still find yourself not using it as a diaper bag then it’s time to get rid of it 🥹

[@miradonfbd]

I love the little gold Gucci bag and I would keep it. I think in the future you’ll want it. In the maybe pile, I would let those go, except for the Chanels. I think you could replace the puzzle bag with a different color. You have some great bags!

[@kcqwerty]

Pls let the Gucci Dionysus go, love the Jimmy Choo for the same purpose so much more! Also too many tan colour bags, pls let the loewe puzzle and mulberry go too. I would have let the mini evelyne go too because really haven't seen you reaching for it much.

[@snam626]

Love these videos and yes to bringing back “curate with me” series Here are my recommendations on what to remove from your collection: Wine colored FLP tote, yellow Jodie, Loewe, Alex McQ, Gucci mini. Maybe have give Alma BB to your mom? I would keep both the Chanel bags for the time being. :)

[@1vyy]

Love the curate with me series. -Keep Speedy30 but Sell Loewe puzzle, Givenchy -Keep mini rectangular but Sell mini square (similar shape to the roulis) -Sell FLP box😂, Gucci D., mini Jodie, Alma Out of the maybe pile, I suggest keep 1 Chanel and the speedy

[@surianialberta2390]

In my opinion, except the Chanel ones in the maybe pile, the rest you can let go. You mentioned the mini rectangular you might not use it in the future but I think it is a timeless classic (and in black color!) so you can keep it, one day it might grown back to you as an evening bag.

[@jhwibm]

So I would keep theses handbags below 1. Only one large tote bag(depends on your favor color, but yes we just need one tote bag, no more no less) 2. Chloe bag 3. loewe bag(trust me, it's still the best bag I have ever owned) 4. Murberry one 5.Lady dior 6. Chanel flap back in light beige color(?) 7. Birkin and Kelly(not the pink one, just my opinion that hot pink just not my style..) 8. Mini evelyne 9. YSL bag(sometimes you will need a bag not too much flashy by their brand such as YSL haha) 10. Chanel in light blue handle(?) that one looks nice on you ;) 11. Chanel coco that not in your closet rightnow. -> around 11~ 14 bags i suggest you may think of keeping for long term using.

[@AnUrbanGypsy]

I remember that series; some of those people now have such different bags than what you helped them curate. Just shows how our tastes change. I say sell the Loewe, McQueen, Mulberry, YSL, Gucci & Chanel square. Take the zip-top FLP, Evelyn, Alma & Speedy to your parents’ home and, along with the Neonoe and Ferragamo, sell them if you haven’t thought about them in 6 months. Give your mum the coco top handle as she uses it and maybe keep the Speedy there if it’s too sentimental for you to sell. I like the yellow Jodie, give her a reprieve for a year 😅.

[@AilurosDia]

What about doing a style video where you try on the bags you're thinking of letting go and compare it with what replaced it? Sometimes I find that I dont use a bag because of new, shiny things but then will try it on after some time and use it a lot again. Also, our fashion changes in a way where old bags may no longer have a place so it's a good way to check that, too!

[@Horsegirl663]

I went to a classical concert once where the audience was mostly people in their 70s and spotted many of them wearing their square mini bags in exotic leather.

[@elinalall3475]

I love your curating videos. Well done so far! With the maybe pile I would say keep the LV speedy since it is your first designer handbag and has sentimental value even though you haven't used it for 4-5 years. You can always revisit if you want to let it go later on. With the Chanels I would say keep both because of the value and they are hard to come by but if you have to let go of one, I would say let go of the square mini since it doesn't seem to be your style anymore and you have other black bags and square like shaped bags (mini Lady Dior and FLP mini). I would also say keep the Alma BB since it is a pop of colour in red different than your Kelly and as long as it still works with your wardrobe. The others in the maybe pile can go. Looking forward to see what you keep/let go!

[@ladym223]

Do you still have the black coco handle Chanel bag in your collection?

[@hyunsookim4022]

Hello, I am wondering why you didn't include your recent Dior pouch in your collection which is being used as a purse as well. How did you like using it in Europe? Please let me know your thoughts on the longevity of the pouch since I am interested in buying one as well. Thanks 😊

[@hyunsookim4022]

Wow, omg! I won a prize?!?! I didn't expect it at all seriously!!! Please let me know what steps I need to take.. Thank you so much!♡

[@orandjad5868]

Yes please do the curating series again)) I agree with all your culling and would let go of all the for sale and maybe pile but keep the square mini Chanel and the Loewe puzzle bag. I think you are just a bit bored of them right now but after sometime will fall in love with them again as functionally and aesthetically they are great. It happens to me too I use a bag so much fall out of love then go back to it in some time. Please let us know what you decided)

[@christiner9477]

Definitely keep the two Chanel minis and most likely the speedy. I understand the attachment. The rest of the maybe pile can go. Great job! Fun video. 😊

[@catherineholloway16]

I went on line to purchase the FLP. Crossbows the version woc you purchased but wasn't on site. What is the name of it? Thanks

[@IsabellesStyle]

It is called the "holster" but I think it is discontinued😢

[@momojelly8]

Thanks for the curation video. There is quite a few tan bags, so definitely some of those need to go, given you haven't used some for a while. Given you haven't really used the Alexander McQueen and Mulberry one that much. I would let those go. The Roulis and Chloe work better. I would love to buy the tan LOEWE puzzle if you ever sell :) As for the "pop of colour" bag, you have the pink, red and yellow. The alma is still cute to wear, if you want a pop of red rather than the pink. I think the YSL camera can be changed to a more casual colour, given that you rather use the Hermes Mini Kelly. Keep the Chanel!, you will use them again. Unless you rather favour your Hermes more.

[@littleluxuries_435]

Such a fun video!! I would let go of: 1) FLP Zip tote (too heavy and I think you’re covered with the two others and your Longchamp) 2) Loewe Puzzle Bag 3) Alexander McQueen 4) Mulberry Mini Alexa 5) Bottega mini Jodi 6) YSL Camera Bag 7) LV Alma BB 8) Gucci Dionysus 9) LV Neo Noe 10) the other bag you left at your parents-was it a Ferragamo? I had to laugh when you said that the mini Evelyne had to stay for the sake of your marriage! Haha. Keep.

[@anjalianthony1656]

100% agree! I was going to do the same list!

[@CS_Cafe]

Hi Isabelle, I am the type who will keep bags if I use them at least 2 or 3 times a month. I suggest you do away with LV speedy, alma bb, mulberry & gucci, and keep only one tote (beige). Best of luck :)

[@accessorygirlnyc]

You have a great collection. Unless you need the money I would hold onto Chanel & Hermes. You can always sell them if you need to later on. I think the Yellow Bottega and red LV bags are very pretty colors and having a pop of color is always stylish. I would sell the novelty bags ( the two tan ones in your maybe pile.). Novelty bags are fun but they lose their appeal as we get older, at least that’s my personal experience.

[@jenniferjago5580]

Definitely bring back to series. The ideas and discussions can help us all and our considerations. And also great for eye candy 🥰 Agree a lot of totes, but if you use them regularly than keep them all. Not right in my collection, but it’s what works for you. I think you can let go of AMQ and Mulberry without question. For your Chanel square mini, I think you will come back to it after some time. Your mini Kelly is still new so has your heart now. Alma and bottega colour pops I haven’t seen you use on your channel for some time and doesn’t seem to go with as many outfits you regularly wear or even new clothes reveals. Time to let them go.

[@Vasalyn]

Sell all of the definitelys and all of the maybes except the 2 Chanel bags. I get that the Speedy has sentimental value and it's your first luxury bag, but you haven't used it in years. My first luxury bag was my LV Montaigne MM in monogram which was a gift from my husband (then boyfriend at that time) when we went to Hawaii to visit his family in 2018 (my first time in Hawaii), so I understand. I will never sell it but I also use it a lot so I don't feel the need to get rid of it. I am however am selling my Chanel red woc I never used since I bought it in 2020 tho.

[@OlesyaBagStory]

Hi! From your maybe list I would keep both Chanel minis and Puzzle, all the rest can go.

[@OlesyaBagStory]

But I would as well sell Chloe tote and 1 of bigger totes

[@zedrickapolloshorts6515]

Very organized curated collection. Same with my Speedy Bandolier I cannot let it go since it was the 1st bag I got from my husband!😅♥️♥️♥️ I enjoyed watching!!!❤❤❤

[@whowhatwhy4049]

Hi, I suggest keeping the Chanel’s due to the price increase and your style may change in the future. I would sell the LV Speedy as you seem to like casual bags with different strap options. LV Alma, sell, don’t like that shade of red, The BV Jodie is a toss up…you don’t have that color in your collection. I personally like the McQueen and Loewe bags(if you sell, please let me know). I think you were caught up in the hype with Hometown ChaChaCha as far as the McQueen😂. Both are similar in color and you have already have 2 in the exact shade that you’re keeping, so I would sell those two.

[@gwenmeyers4708]

what if you sell your Chanel mini square and use the money to buy a Chanel rectangle mini?

[@IsabellesStyle]

You know what! I was actually thinking that! Thanks so much for your advice babe🥰

[@janerdei170]

I saw your video abt the McQueen curve bag last year and really wanted to get it that time. It took me a year to finally pull the trigger and was able to get it a few weeks ago for 50% off from Fashionette. I'm glad I got it bec it's very light and very easy to use / get in and out of and I've been wearing it non-stop. If not for your other tan bags, the curve is definitely a keeper.

[@vial8137]

Love this video as need help with mine too 😂 On the maybes: I would keep the speedy (such a no fuss bag) and the older it gets the longer it marks your love for your other bags ❤ , loewe (bigger than roulis) sell the chanels and get a diff rectangle one sell the FLP burgundy sell the FLP top handle boxy style ( same aesthetic as dior but dior more classy) sell the rest of maybe pile 😊 Btw, does this include your contemporary bags as well? I would be interested to know as well as I have both contemporary and luxury bags which overlaps in purpose. Hope this helps … Goodluck and love this type of videos.

[@thomasyap1688]

Hi Isabelle, have you thought of going to a trusted reseller and seeing if they are open to a swap between your Square mini flap and a rectangular mini flap? I think Mel (in Melb) exchanged a Birkin for a Kelly this way if you're interested!

[@knitteddy]

Yessss bring back the decluttering videos!!! ✨ I'd get rid of the yellow Jodie, Alexander Wang and red alma BB. I'd keep the Chanel's since they retain such great value and the speedy BB for the same reason (but also it's sentimental value). I'd also get rid of the Alexander Wang since you already have the tan roulis and hermes Evelyn. For the puzzle bag - I personally am a big fan but note you already have some big bags so would also let go of it. Let me know if you ever want to sell any bags as I'm also in Sydney :)

[@annmarieb5895]

I would definitely keep all the Chanels possible you can get rid of the bucket style one, the Louis Vuitton Alma and possible the jodie.

[@fabulousirene]

Maybe should keep one blue tote bag. For Casual bag just keep puzzle bag. Keep all Chanel bag and Hermes. Thank you so much for sharing darling. I am still working on mine too.💕

[@oopw]

Definitely keep all the Chanel's !Also keep the Alma bb and the Loewe!

[@nesibeauty5558]

I would let go the alma bb, the alex mc queen and the jodi bag. ;) How expensive is actually a mini kelly?

[@IsabellesStyle]

Thank you so much for sharing your opinion babe! I do agree🙈 Happy to share the price of the mini Kelly, please DM me on Instagram:)

[@somuchdesignwithhanne]

Great video, thanks. I think you have so many neutrals that I would opt to get rid of Loewe and Alexander McQueen and the other three that you already selected. I would keep the rest for now; you may want to look at them all again in six months and if you still haven’t used them do another declutter or if you have purchased new bags.

[@ixjessicaxb]

yas!! i LOVE this series and please bring back the curating series. I'd love to watch those videos. and if you sell your chanel mini, i' would 1000% want to buy that. it's been my dream bag and so functional too.

[@lalaland8185]

Please bring back the curating series! From your maybe pile, the Alexander wang, puzzle and speedy are outcasts from your collection, which is more feminine. I would sell all but the rectangular flap. I have a square flap and have the same qualms, probably would have been better to go with a rectangular but with chanel prices I'm not willing to put in the effort for an upgrade!

[@roimelendez1056]

What a tough task and decision to make!! Each piece is just so unique and beautiful despite the somewhat points of similarities! I’m quite sentimental with my stuff as well so I gave my first LV to my sister on her 40th. So I would keep the speedy. Then Chanel pieces are so difficult to get hold off especially the classic ones so those two i would keep as well. The remaining pieces, they’re not as hard to get as the other ones and i’m sure you’ll find other bags with the same style/structure and vibe!

[@Sabrina-ib1li]

Thanks for this video. It has encouraged me to revisit and curate my collection. Unfortunately, i have more bags than days in the month😂 i am older than you and don’t feel the square mini is too cutesy/young for me. I own the black and caramel in the mini size. You have a lot of good comments/suggestions.

[@karenho6418]

I really enjoy your bag curation series. What happened to your Chanel reissue in white?

[@IsabellesStyle]

Hopefully I get enough interest to continue with the curation series :) Oh, I sold my Chanel reissue when I got the Craie kelly as I didn't want 2 very pricey cream bags😅

[@tremroy1766]

Nice collection and great video. I would let go the Curve/Alexander McQueen and the mini Jody. I too am attached to my first luxury bag and could never part with it so I would keep the LV Speedy Damien ébène. I would also hold on to anything Chanel and only sell if/when I’m really tight on cash 😂

[@karintamm3794]

I think you should save the mini rectangular top handle and the mini square.

[@ingridkay]

I am one of those who has commented a couple of times to bring back the series, Yes please! And as far as yours go> Let go of, LV Speedy, Mulberry Alexa, Hermes Evelyn, YSL LouLou, Gucci Dionysus, Bottega Pouch or Hermes *tan small bag forgot the name, and to of the three at your parents house, and you will still have a fun, but useful collection that works for many occasions 🤩

[@ingridkay]

No changed my mind, let go of Speedy, but keep the Neo Noe and the Chanel at your parents 😅 That way you keep a little damier, just in case 😉

[@kiltedluxury]

Such a lovely collection! I love your curating series and would love to see it return! My opinion: keep the two Chanels in the maybe pile and get rid of the rest, plus the sell pile and the FLP zip tote.

[@LindseyTeall]

In maybe pile Keep: speedy, Loewe, CC mini square, LV Alma bb. I think you’ll regret letting those go

[@TatiPrieto]

Hi Isabelle, I love this series, I would keep the speedy, the alma bb and the chanels, in the other hand I would declutter the fleur le page in blu, because you added the longchamp in blu, and the bottega veneta pouch, the colour is similar to the other Chanel and it looks like the strap is about to be broke the minute you put something extra

[@kcmusik]

it's always difficult to let things we once used a lot and loved go. I think you should keep Loewe as it is a easy to match your wardrobe and practical bag not to mention the quality is superb and keep the top handle mini retangular as you have better option when it comes to mini black handbag.

[@Beeni]

My picks! Perhaps get the jodie bag in a different color? Goodbye to the Alexander McQueen, alma BB, Speedy Keep the Puzzle, and the two Chanels!

[@IsabellesStyle]

Love your advice babe! May be a more subtle colour in the mini jodie will work better😅 And you know me well, the puzzle and the 2 Chanels still have my heart even though I haven't used them much lately.. so may be a good idea to keep them for now! Thanks babe!

[@Mouc_2021]

I love such series. I think you should let go of these: 1. speedy 30 2. all 4 from your third category (small casual) which you hardly use. 4. YSL camera 5.two bags that are at your moms (excluding the chanel coco) 6. gucci mini gold 7. I would have suggested the pink fendi as well but given that you love the bag I guess you should keep it.

[@sherryferrer9853]

Hi Isabelle! Thanks for sharing your collection. From your maybe pile, I would keep both Mini Chanels (Grey top handle rectangular & black square) until you are absolutely sure. Maybe also sell the brown tote with zipper.

[@miaoj9476]

I have watched your curation video last time, and it is really interesting to see how your collection has changed over time. Being in the mid forties now, I would say try to stay away from a lot of trendy bags and brands, stay away from bags that are cute but not functional. If I were you, I will keep both Chanel bags (I don’t think you will use mini square any more but wait until the price goes up or pass it to your daughter), speedy 30. I feel like you can let go the rest of the bags in the pile😊

[@littlegrasper]

Hi Isabelle, loving this collection and going through your thought process. In terms of the bags you are considering letting go of, imo I would keep the 2 Chanels and the Speedy. The Chanels because they are beautiful classics, and even if you don’t wear them if you sell a few years later it’ll keep or increase value. Love that grey Chanel that you use in your video background on the shelf! The Speedy because it’s your very first designer bag, and that’s not something you can replace - I’m just imagining that if you have a daughter one day she could carry that around in high school. (Or a niece?) How cute would that be? I think if you’re tired of looking at the Speedy, just fold it and store it somewhere. To me that bag isn’t about using it but about the history - we both know you likely won’t use it again.

[@littlegrasper]

And if you’re really set on getting rid of one of the two Chanel minis, then the black one since you already have your black coco handle. Agree w your points about it looking a bit more youthful and being replaced by the mini Kelly. For the grey Chanel mini, I think it still has a place in your wardrobe that other bags don’t fill.

[@alexn2537]

I agree with the bags you are definitely selling. From the maybe pile, I would definitely let the Alexander McQueen go as well as the Alma. I wouldn’t sell any Chanel bag since it will come with an extortionate cost in case you regret and you want to rebuy. I would also sell the speedy since LV has become so common lately but I understand the sentimental value.

[@evanlau8]

For the curate my collection idea. I think the viewer who is participating can send in mod shots videos of them and their bags. So you can see their height, personal style with each bags. And can crop the mod shot videos for anonymity 😊
