It was rewarding to read that many of you actually purchase SEVERAL of the same bag! Sigh. @SharkE appears to have more than one Augusta! (Feeling thus enabled, just ordered my second in lavender.)
I've only been a handbag appreciator and Collector for the last 25 years. Owned only one at a time before that. Never thought about it, earlier in life.
Probably because none of my friends were into handbags.
None of my colleagues (law, academia, storytelling, neighbors).
I don't know anyone else who owns several. (Except relatives, because I keep gifting them.)
Of the many things in life I cannot afford, handbags are actually something that I could afford. I hang many on walls, as bits of intriguing art. Nestled on shelves along with beloved books.
Ordered my first GREEN bag (above) from Nash, and now the Lavender is coming.
Love to hear whether others who enjoy handbags have friends, co-workers, colleagues who carry/collect more than one bag?

@1Professor The only bag of which I have multiples is the Dooney Zip Zip bag. I have four because it's just so perfect for my purposes and comes in so many pretty colors. It seems to be a bag of which many people have multiples.

Hello again @1Professor... Surely you remember from the old days, there were several of us who would occasionally (sometimes more than occasionally) binge on the same bag. Just recently I ordered the same bag elsewhere in three colors because I loved the bag so much, it works for me very well, and the price was so right. Some of us still post regularly but on the other forums... I still come over here from time to time too...

@stevieb The handbag forum HERE was the only place where I talked to handbag lovers (a little on the purse blog forum, but not much).

@Kachina624 Dooney's Zip Zip is totally worthy of duplication. So wearable. So many colors!

I have FIVE of Patricia Nash's Pisticci bags, in different colors:
Now I'm onto her Ashwell denim bag, with beautiful butterfly embroidery, and also the smaller wristlet:
I purchase Patricia Nash because these are exact duplicates of the 1960s / 1970s bag originals!!

@1Professor Well, to be sure the group here was very active, though folks surely came and went. I think most of us migrated when the Q forums were essentially defunct for so long and then most never came back. Many of the old regulars only drop in now from time to time, though a few of us still post often.
I am eyeing that Nash tote in stone. I do like the Augusta too, but have held back. It seems the color choices come and go and were I to buy, I'll wait for a better sale. I like some of her older bags best, especially the leather and coated postcard totes and then the higher end glossy leather postcard bags. I have one of the former (Como) and two of the latter (Kensington and Venice... would love to find Paris) I don't recall what she called either line but they most often featured destinations. Not so much a fan of all the tooled bags she seems to continue doing, but do find some of her woven bags to be quite pretty.

Ladies - By the way I purchased the 'Ashwell' bag on Macys.com, at 30% off -
Macys has some great sales, and we all know how expensive Patricia Nash is!
Right now they are selling the Pisticci bag at $100 off, how can you beat their prices!!

the most i have of any one bag isnt really a bag. it is the dooney kisslock framed coin purse. i just love collecting them and using them. i think i have roughly 18. i will try to gather them together to make a photo of them.
the only handbags that i display sometimes are either my mary frances handbags or my off park collection handbags. they are themed and/or blingy. i like having them sit out on the table or shelves when i am not using them.
