An Impulse Buy

August 26th, 2008 Posted in Handbags

Goyard had a private sale in San Francisco a few weeks ago and through the powers of the internet, I was able to snag this yellow Beluga* at 50% off retail. My Flickr friend, Michelle, was not too happy about it (she got a Beluga at full price) but before the sale, she thoughtfully asked me if I wanted her to scope out any deals at the sale. Her SA, Rogelio, told her there wouldn’t be any bags on sale. But it turns out several styles were and one of them was the Beluga. I wasn’t planning on buying another Goyard but the deal was too good to resist. Michelle got the bag for me and even threw in two Purse Valet bag hooks plus other goodies when she shipped the bag to me. My Flickr friends are wonderful, I tell you. And I’ve never met them in person yet.

For some reason, I’m having buyer’s remorse now. I realize that I wouldn’t be using this bag as much as I do my white Fidji, which I use everyday. I’ve also sworn off logo bags. Well, that’s what I like to tell myself but obviously, I still can’t control myself.

So tell me, should I keep? Or should I sell? Should I save up for another Chanel?

*I know, weird name. I always think of the whale whenever I mention it.

Hmmmm…I say that if you’re doubting you’re purchase, then it must be an impulse buy. You can never go wrong with Chanel, however!

I said this once before, I’ll say it again. I wish I had flickr friends like yours!

I think you should sell it, then get something classic. One Goyard per person is all that’s really needed. Same goes for any logo bag.

Yeah, sell it. You only need one Goyard. I’d personally save for a Balenciaga or Chloe!
