Oh faerie, faerie, faerie @faeriemoon... Shame, shame, shame... I had no idea it had gotten this out of control. Oh my dear. At 10, it's actually too late for an intervention because quite honestly there isn't much left that you don't have...   That said, I now have two, along with the essential tote (in off white)  Yes, I finally caved on the black pebble and then they reintroduced the red and, well, what can I say... I would like to add the kelly green, the cobalt blue and the off-white Elilzabetta but perhaps I'll learn from your over-indulgence and hold firm for a bit...

@1Professor   Your bags are lovely. I probably have about 40 bags of different styles, some of which were bought in Italy.

  The only bag that I have multiples of are The Dooney & Bourke

Zip Zip. As @Kachina624 said, she has multiples of. It is the perfect bag, not too big, not too small. I have six of them, each a different color that I switch out with the seasons.

  Now, no longer working, I've started to give some bags to my

daughters. But not my ZipZips.

  No one else in the family or any of my friends collect bags.

@fairydogmother   I do buy the wallets to match the ZipZip bags.

So, do you handbag junkies have a different wallet for each bag? I love to coordinate wallets with bags. But I invariably forget to transfer everything and I change bags several times a week. Yesterday I had to pull out of the Sams Club gas line when I realized I had left my member card in "yesterday's" wallet 😳

I'm just catching up on this post and wanted to answer your question.  I'm weird in that I tend to change bags daily to coordinate with my clothing, but NEVER ever change my wallet. 

I carry a leather card case for credit cards, driver's licence, insurance cards, etc. and a Dooney kisslock for cash.  Both are neutral so they blend in with any color (or print) bag. 

Changing bags is no big deal to me, but changing wallets would drive me crazy.  Strange, I know.

You go girl!!

@1Professor 

The answer is yes! Many multiples, but I do that with shoes and with clothing, too. 

My most recent escapade was this past year when I learned about Portland Leather Goods from a poster on the ProBoards purse forum.  I fell in love with their mini crossbody tote and ended up buying it in 5 colors over the course of about 6 months.  Kinda crazy, but clothes/shoes/bags are really my only vice(es) so I don't feel too guilty.

@shoesnbags   You are an Enabler! Yikes.

Just went to check out Portland Leather.

Loved the mini tote, crossbody.

30% off!

Got the fabulous Happy yellow.

No Intervention needed.

I returned the amethyst Nash Augusta, which had just arrived today.

Way too heavy (explains why I rarely wore the brown Augusta I already had, probably).

@1Professor 

Ha ha, happy to enable!  One of my babies is the yellow.  So pretty.  Now while I'm enabling, can I just mention that the following strap available on the "big A" makes a great addition to the yellow bag, for just $10.99? Really takes the bag up a notch.  You're welcome

@shoesnbags 

Oooh fabulous color choices, thanks.

I actually have two fabulous web cross body straps from Coach bags, and two classic straps (one wide) from Louis Vuitton. I'm big on cross-brand-sharing straps!

We'll see what the possibilities are when the lovely yellow thing arrives. Yes, paid for faster shipping . . .
