Without wanting to state the obvious, I really think that Stuff has a peculiar quality where the more you have, the more you want, and the more easily you can be sold to. If you see your possessions as things that are always changing and being added to, then you may own a number of one item, say a bag, but still see someone on the street, or an advert in a magazine or on the internet, and think That Bag is a Better Bag, now I need That Bag. If you have one good bag that does the things you need it to do and isn't broken, and you know that one good bag is the right amount, then you are uninfluenceable, and therefore free from Stuff.
You may gather I am determined to have a big declutter. Perhaps the last one?
