{Purse-Think!} Inside the brains of passionate handbag collectors.

‎02-22-2015 05:58 PM

/></p> <p>Got purses? Want more? You might be a collector. An appreciator. You might have a purse closet.</p> <p>I've been realizing how often my brain reverts to Purse-Think:</p> <p>* Oooo, dinner after work with colleagues at a deluxe restaurant. Wait! That'll end up being at least $70, which I could apply to a new purse.</p> <p>* New shoes! Wait. I have shoes. Excellent leather shoes will be over $200. What purse could I get for that?</p> <p>* Probably should update my computer. Wait! It actually still works. That'd be at least $1000, with software. I could get a luxe handbag with that.</p> <p>Any other handbag collectors find themselves translating financial decisions by whether it would be better spent on a New Purse!?</p>

OMG, 1Professor, is this your purse closet? There are some gorgeous handbags in this photo. Whoa. {#emotions_dlg.tt1} It would certainly be a bit worrisome to be this addicted, but understandable nonetheless. Wink

EEL, there are barely 20 purses in this picture. I'm sure you have WAY more than that in your closet! Smiley Wink

So glad I am not alone. I have a purse closet with 80+. Slowly weeding some out on Ebay but always find new ones I ""need""... my husband thinks I am crazy...

Not my purse closet and I do have more than 20. No apologies!

I have decided that I'm a collector. I have to admit that I'm a leather snob.

It is a lot harder to display handbags than a collection of pretty dishes.

I have been very lucky finding high-end brands at thrift stores.

So that means I can still go out and eat

I am a handbag collector but I don't think like that. I allow myself a fabulous bag three times a year. I've been thinking about my spring/summer bag for weeks now. I know I want a soft leather tote in pastel blue but I haven't settled on a particular bag yet. I really do need to figure out a way to display my bags. Something creative but not too expensive.
