Love the quilted Tabby! I often “test” my bags too before I sell, force myself to use it. Often confirms why it doesn’t work and other times it is a happy rediscovery.
👜 hi melissa ! I was surprised to see your most used bag. Thought it would be the new Alma bb. I now also want you to document how many x I use my bags this year 😆 fun to see ur entire collection and how many x u wear them. Hugs. Happy 2024!
Happy New year. It’s definitely fun to see what was most used at the end of the year. It puts in perspective what is actually working for me and my lifestyle. 🩵
👜 what a good idea to keep track of how much you use your bags, I am going to do the same! I am thinking of getting a coach tabby as well, I have the pillow tabby and love it so maybe it needs a skinny friend 😄. Your alma is soooo pretty 😍
Hi Melissa, I've come over from the handbag housewife. What a beautiful collection..yes, would love to hear an update on the valentino spike bag. Please do one❤
New subscriber here- and hey I’m in Arizona too! ☀️🌵😎 you may be the first you tube channel I follow that is here in AZ. I love your idea to keep track of what bags you use- I’m going to try that this year. My most used has to be the Gucci Marmont camera style bags- I have it in black and white. Not my favorites at all but just so practical for every day use to grab and go. My least used is LV favorite in Damier ebene- but I’m keeping it- hubby went to great lengths to get it for me on a trip right before it was discontinued. I have 15 bags and trying to stay at that number so I do use all my bags. My very favorite bag is the GG Marmont small shoulder bag in Camelia (beige). No longer available-it’s such a beautiful neutral color and the shoulder bag style is my preference. Have a great day! -LeeAnn
Thank you for subscribing 🥰. I think 15 bags is a great number. You have variety but not so many that it gets overwhelming. Camera bags are so practical, I can see why that would be your most used.
Love that you purchased a 1k subs celebratory bag. So special! WOW, 17 times for the utility bag! I low key love that because it reminds me a lot of a bag that I really wanted but was discontinued and then forgotten for that same reason. I may bump back onto my radar! This was a great video idea that definitely required dedication. Thank you! ❤
@@MelissaAdams-Wade I can imagine and it shows. Great work! It is the LV valisette. I think the shape and crossbody function of the utility is what reminded me of it. 🥰
💼 good job keeping track of all of this Melissa. I need to start doing that. I need more solely practical bags as the ones I am drawn most to and have way too many of, are the more delicate beautiful ones, although I use those casually also. My most used bag of the year I’m sure is my Odeon pm In The monogram with black trim. It’s just so easy! I think I want to add a speedy 20 but can’t decide on color.
I’m the same way, I want to buy all the beautiful bags that are fussy lol but 2024 is all about remembering my lifestyle and only buying what works with my daily life.
I came here from Lisa's channel! My most used bag was the Bottega tech cassette (the nylon one!), maybe cause I have 2 small kids or because in Ireland it rains often, who knows 😂 the least used (zero times 😢) is the mini reissue in rose gold (my second baby just turned 1yo and I never went out for dinner last year, so maybe that's why..)
Thank you so much, Lisa is great. I love Bottega (as I’m sure you could tell). It’s definitely time for a date night but I get it, it’s so hard leaving our babies with someone. Especially when they are that young.
@@MelissaAdams-Wade ❤️ so true! 2024 is going to be the "balance" year (I hope!), getting back to also being me (or a new version of it) vs just mommy 😊
Melissa it sounds like you need another small Jodi because you love it so much. I try to not buy multiples but there are some bags I just love so so much that I have to. I love when a style of bag really works. I am very much a seasonal color person. I have my s/s and my f/w colors that I gravitate to. A different color in the same bag is basically a different bag to me. My most used bag was my LV Odeon pm and my least used my black Chanel jumbo and light grey Chanel 19 in the large size. I use my small 19s much more.
I LOVE your Valentino bag! I am a black bag lover and she's a stunner!!! I'm not really a camera bag girl either and I only have ONE. I have a Chanel 19 and I find it heavy depending on what I put in it. What size is your Lady Dior? I have a small and would love to get a bigger one. 👛
Thank you Yota. The Valentino rockstud is an oldie but a goodie. My lady Dior is in the my abc size (small). It doesn’t fit much but it holds enough. What color is yours?
👜My least used bag is my Fendi Baguette and it’s because of the color. It’s a raspberry pink and it doesn’t match the pink I usually wear. My most used bag is my LV Coussin bag in the Miami pink. Great video!
@@MelissaAdams-Wade Yes pink is my favorite color! I wear mostly Lilly Pulitzer clothing and it has a lot of pink in the designs. Now I think I need a black bag but I can’t find the right one for me. I’m most tempted by the mini capucine. But I need to look at in person. I live in south Alabama on the gulf coast and we have no luxury stores here. New Orleans is the closest. So I buy when we travel or online 🤷🏻♀️
@@MelissaAdams-Wade Also, I have bought the Chanel 19 3 times and returned them all. First I bought the large size from Fashionphile in pink. Wrong color pink and I did not like the large size. Then I bought the medium/small size in pink last year from Chanel boutique. I can’t remember the name of the pink but I already had a WOC that color of pink and love it. Well the Chanel 19 in the same pink looked completely different. Where my WOC had a shine the Chanel 19 color was flat. But I did like the size of it. So then I saw a Chanel 19 on Fashionphile that was described as iridescent pink. So I ordered it because I thought the color would have more life to it but no … it was a bland color. Not vibrant! Anyway I have suspended my search for the pink Chanel 19 for now. What color are you thinking of getting ?
Ok, you’ve officially convinced me to start keeping track this year! 🙃 The DE Speedy 25 is on my wishlist; my 20 isn’t quite working out for me and I think it was my least used bag in 2023. Have you noticed the creases going away on your 25? Hard to tell in the video. I was expecting your Jodie to be your most used, but can definitely see why your Padded Cassette is number one! Great video as usual! ❤️
My creases are still there but very slightly, you have to look for the creasing to see it. I think using the bag without an organizer and letting it slouch has helped pull the creases out (hopefully that makes sense). Tracking my bags is so much fun. It only takes a second to put it in my notes and then I get to see just how much I’m using everything.
@@MelissaAdams-Wade Great to hear the creases are gradually easing out! That totally makes sense-letting it slouch and using it without an organizer probably helped.
The Givenchy Antigona? It’s a stunning bag and fits the essentials easily but it’s uncomfortable cross body because it’s so stiff. It’s hard to find your things because it gets narrow towards the top, the top handle is uncomfortable because it’s too small.
Hi! ♡ Maybe a wierd quiestion but I've been looking everywhere for that Valentino and I just can't find it in a good enough condition. Would you sell it?
@@imiramoreno8053 I tend to go for a top handle bag and since the marmont doesn’t have a top handle I probably won’t buy one. That’s the same issue I have with my small Lou Lou.
@@MelissaAdams-Wade oh I see. I prefer top handles to but not a dear beaker for me. The marmont line did have a top handle option but it’s probably discontinued now. Love your videos 😘❤️
Great bags, but I understand some just sit on the shelf. I would sell whatever doesnt spark joy/have sentimental meaning and put those funds towards that Chanel😬
I wish I could but people just aren’t buying right now and I’ve all ready lost a lot of money by selling bags for half of what I paid. I’m not willing to do that anymore. That is actually a big reason why I’m buying less in 2024.
I totally understand! I have had better luck with HER Authentic than FP to sell back. It is just a hassle. Especially with contemporary brands that can lose a lot of money. That is a big reason for me too.
Because people aren’t in the buying market and I’m not going to sell them for 1/3 of what I paid for them. I sold 3 bags last year and lost a lot of money on all of them.
New subscriber here! I love your channel and the attention to detail/description of each of your bags. My favourite bag that i have used all year round in 2023 was my LV Speedy 25 in the Monogram print. Much love from the UK : ) x

I saw a bunch of them in coach not too long ago. They also have them at Nordstrom online. 😄
Thank you ☺️
The green shade of this Lady Dior is sooo pretty.
Thank you so much. It’s called Ethereal Green
The fact that you kept record of your bag usage is mind blowing!! That’s truly amazing!! You’re so beautiful and I hope your 2024 is blessed ❤
Thank you Julie. I hope your 2024 year is blessed also. 🤍🤍
Thank you for all of the effort. It is very helpful to see what actually gets a lot of use for the money we spend on these bags.
Thank you 😊.

So fun to see which bags are getting used in your collection and which ones didn’t. Love the idea of keeping track.
