Before making luxury purchase make sure you have emergency money (things happen in life we could not control) saved up. And if you don't see yourself wearing the handbag 5-10 yrs from now don't buy it or sell it before making new purchase. Great info Steph, I am also teaching myself to be a minimalist in every thing.

This is good advice for sure! Having an emergency fund is very wise & I like you’re idea of 5-10 years. Really glad you liked the video thanks for commenting! 💗

These are sure-fire ways to cut conspicuous luxury consumption--great video! I have a spreedsheet (not as pretty as yours! lol), spend time with my bags by cleaning, and my bags are always on display so I don't forget at them. Cutting social media scrolling is a game changer too. To kick the habit, I've replaced scrolling with reading ebooks in the morning. Reading helps calm wash over me and is a nice way to start the day. Appreciating the things we have is so important.

Enjoyed this video so much. I have been on a journey to reduce my collection for the past year now and have gone from owning 37 luxury handbags down to 23. It was really hard to decide which ones to let go but I pretty much only kept the bags that I was not afraid to wear no matter the price tag- no more buying beautiful bags just because it looks good displayed. Right now I am practicing “Enjoy what you Have.” Even 23 is still a lot and my eventual goal is to have 18 but some of the old classics that I still love are honestly not worth selling so I’ll just keep them.

I have benefited a lot by finding your KZfaq channel and other ones about handbags which has given me an outlet to look at bags without having to purchase them and make comments on them and so feel a part of a luxury conversation without spending money all the time. I realised that although I thought I know my taste I have learnt that sometimes I think I could look further for an item that really satisfies me.

Also I have learnt through experience that if you are only in browsing mode when you go to luxury boutiques it is best to leave your credit card at home. If you are in shopping mode then make sure you have a pretty good idea what you want to buy because it is not the fault of sales associates but if you do nit know what you really want they may suggest bags which you end up buying but we’re not really what you were looking for. There is so much choice in some of the luxury shops that one can get dazzled by so many options, one can get seduced by the “not completely right” bag.

About 3.20: This!! With clothes, I've done that since I was 15. Save my pocket money, buy one nice, good quality piece of clothing. I still wear these things I bought back then (I'm 43 years old by now), and they are still looking good. (And that's because I honestly get annoyed when some grown-up people write, I can't afford pricier clothes, I have to buy fast fashion. Come on. If a teenager could save up her pocket money, I'm sure you can put some, if only a small amount, of your income aside to then buy something that you can wear for years. (Don't usually comment in a criticizing way, but wanted to say it at least once 😏.))

Have you tried the CLOSET app or something like that? You upload all your stuff make outfits and it takes the edge off when you see something you like. I also see all my bags in one place on my tablet so I can talk myself out of the wanting by seeing what I have that already goes with my outfits.

This is such a nice video to see amongst all the luxury hauls that have been showing up in my feed. A reminder that sometimes we need to take a step back from all the luxury eye candy and think before we spend. I have created for myself a "bag capsule wardrobe" so as I'm looking at new bags I've got this guideline in the back of my mind of what will fit with my life and closet.

Great tips. Especially the last one which I’m guilty of. I keep a spreadsheet too and every now and then if I get “itchy” to buy another bag, I go to check the resale value of the ones I might sell. If I really want that new bag, I sell some of what I have. To make sure I clear stock of what I have.

My favorite tip is to stop scrolling so much. I find myself searching for the new bag and I barely wear the last one I bought. I am guilty of buying online and not liking it in person. I am stopping this as well. I love your idea about making a list. I used my boy bag literally everyday for a few month and it took some damage. It now lives in its box in my closet. I feel bad for her. I also like to get my bags out and if I go for a while I completely have forgotten one or two of the vintage Balenciaga bags that would be happy to come out of their little spot too. Thank you for the tips.

Yes, very good tips. I want to reduce my collection to 15 bags ( I know 10 would be better 😊). For example, today I will sell my LV Coussin PM (was hard to get) but I know that I won‘t use it. The other thing I will try, is not to buy bags that I see on Instagram any more. To buy online is a really good idea 👍. I always buy my bags in store (LV 😂) and my SA calls me every two weeks because she wants to sell the brand new bags. But if you order online, you‘ll sometimes have to wait, because the bag is sold out and you can‘t get it at once.
