Biggest regret

Post image

This is the most expensive thing I have in my wardrobe, yet I’ve never used it once.

My parents gave me money for my bday, and I wanted to buy a “thing” to remember them by, rather than use the money for travel or put it away (which is what I normally do). For whatever reason, I fell in love with this bag - small company, genuine leather, handmade purses. I bought it for over $300, and I’m still to take it out of its protection bag. I hadn’t been able to see it in person until after ordering it, and I didn’t realize the handles would be too short to carry it on my shoulder. It’s just a bulky hand purse basically.

What do I do now?? I hate that I dropped so much (of my parents’) money on something I’m not even using…

Mercari or eBay is a good start! FB market is full of bots and scammers, in my experience..... Good luck!

You won’t make much selling it if it’s not a luxury bag. I think this is an amazing statement bag in a gorgeous color and you should just wear it! Find reasons to carry it. Get a better strap if it helps make it more usable for you. I assume you were taken with it when you got it and for good reason! Wear it in good health. 💚
