Decluttering FAILED, I Can't Let Go| least used luxury minimalist wardrobe chanel hermes kelly

Interesting to hear your diskussion. With my own collection I don’t agree; if I don’t use an item or has losen interest for it; I get rid of it. I only have items in my collection that I use and love. /Marie from Sweden

That’s great that you are reflecting on the items in your collection. I think you should keep the LV coin purse because of its novelty. You can also use it for earbuds or any other kind of small items.

Lady Eileen… You work so long for what you have…keep and enjoy. You worth it🎁🌸

I love my Chanel classic flap bags and I would never sell them. I plan to gift them to my daughter when I pass. I also wear the same Hermes earrings often because they are low key. I wear my VCA Vintage Alhambra bracelets almost daily and I love it so much ☺️ I still have my Tiffany rings and I’m so glad I do. I sold one of the Tiffany eternity rings and some Chanel bags in the past and I regret it now.

Please keep things that you are questioning. I am older than you are. I have discovered that my taste has changed over the years. You may decide in a few years that these lovely things in your collection will be things that you reach for as you get older. It certainly happened to me! Life changes and what you have put aside now, you will appreciate down the road, especially with classic pieces.
I love your videos. Thank you for such great content!

Hi.
Why do you always say “pieces”?
It’s just consumable items, just an expensive handbag or accessories
I know it’s very expensive
Why can’t you just say “handbag” or “items”
I like your channel but I don’t get it

Agree 😊👍🏻

You could use the coin purse to store headphones or carry a necklace or so when travelling! 🙂 I do this all the time with round coin purses

Every pieces you still have, have been thoroughly weighed and it makes sense to keep them all until you are certain you want to let them go. The lv coin purse could be used as a headphone holder, etc and you could wear the VCA bracelet as a necklace for versatility.

Hi Eileen. You make very good points. For me, I know that once I move on from a bag I never go back. I may carry it one more time for a week but then it goes back in the closet. I know this about myself and I’ve been this way my whole life whether the bag cost a little or a lot. So I know I won’t regret letting something go. I, too, wonder if in the future the mini bags will be out of trend and I’ll miss my traditional sized bags but I love the freedom of carrying only my phone, keys, and cards and I doubt I’ll ever want to go back to carrying “everything and the kitchen sink.”

I'd sell most of the things I just never used. But the small Chanel bag is such an elegant evening bag I doubt I'd part with it. Not owning it, I would not pay even what you paid for it. There are too many non-status, quality leather bags that are available for a fraction of the luxury brand cost.

I believe everyone has forever items that are keepers. Thank you for sharing. You look so elegant today 💖

I agree with your decisions. We must not forget that minimalism is personalised to every individual. We can sometimes feel pressured to get rid of stuff to fit in with another person’s idea of minimalism then experience regret for letting go of items that we truly love despite not using them often.
Personalisation of minimalism is important. There has to be joy in minimalism. If someone chooses to have 100 pairs of earrings because they love earrings & choose to be minimal with other items, e.g. have one handbag & 1 pair of shoes. It’s the person’s choice because this is what fits their lifestyle & enjoyment.

You are very smart to really think before selling a bag and to consider your tastes may change as you get older. I am older than you and I have a rule if I want a new bag I sell a bag. However, I have had regrets about selling a few of my bags. I sold my Medium coco handle a few yrs ago as I thought it was too big and wanted the small (old mini size). However this year I realized I need a larger bag to actually carry more things. Ending up buying the same size again but this time in the quilted leather (previous was chevron) and this one has leather lining which I prefer. I have learned that I need Bags in various sizes to meet my needs. Plus I feel the demand for true mini bags will eventually fade.

I was going to say if you do not want to resell or issues with resell..I was going to suggest giving it to your daughter for a family heirloom. That way they can repurpose it in some way or form!

I think you are the perfect minimalist. You enjoy having the small collection of items you currently owned. To me being a minimalist doesn’t mean you have to declutter everything and it’s more about being mindful with your spending and enjoying the items you have.
Love your channel perspective.

just out of curiosity, is VCA's rose gold close to Hermes'? I recently purchased a VCA piece in rose gold and found its color to be quite different from all my other rose gold jewelry and I never own any rose gold piece from Hermes. So curious to know how they compare to each other — thanks!

Hi Eileen, Beeing a minimalism is not take away what you have. For this period of time, I would suggest you to keep them but stop buy things. You are lucky to have them. You don't need to be perfect. You deserve what you have and enjoy them. You are a good person.

I totally agree with your decision to keep these items. It’s obvious that you aren’t ready to detach from them and you are still young, there is plenty of time for your lifestyle and fashion style to change several times. I have certainly found that it happens in life and life would be pretty dull if it didn’t.
When people on social media say that everyone has a bag and it’s getting too common I think you need to take that with a grain of salt. What they usually mean is that everyone on YouTube and Instagram has one. But I have found that out in the real world this is usually not the case. The number of Chanel bags I have seen outside of the boutiques is 4 and one of those is mine and none of them were flap bags.

I really appreciate you make so many informative videos and not just unboxings, for me it’s just the fact that prices are taking a turn where I don’t feel it’s worth to buy canvas anymore so my solution will be to buy leather LV bags @ lvcuy.com . Totally worth it !

I think you have solid reasons for keeping those items and it’s always all right to go slow with decluttering. As Lillian Too says about decluttering your home, if you’re considering your items every six months, it’s all right to set it aside and consider it again next time.

Great. Happy to see that. I want to do a list of my bags from xsreps.com bags from there are really amazing and their sevice are really great.

Be glad you didn’t sell items you love and paid a lot for … imo this decluttering trend will lead only to more long term consumption. People let go of items they actually want, often at a bad price, and will repurchase at full price later

I feel you! I have the same on my Celine Classic Box Bag as I really love the simple yet elegant style. However, I haven’t reached it for almost two years as I find it heavy when I put my daily essentials in. I’m not sure why because I usually don’t attach to bags.
