@gidgetgh  There is a pretty new Tea Time bag up at bag lady's  that made me think of you immediately because I think you'd like it. 🙂

• BTW  have you thought of selling bags you don't want at Poshmark?

@Pearlee - I sell them at a consignment store near my house. In terms of the bags you mentioned, surprisingly, I've kind of grown tired of them. I don't know why.

@gidgetgh  I totally "get it" about our mutual bags but still hope you take a look at the one I mentioned, not to purchase, just to window shop because it's pretty. 🙂

Too,many!! 

I recently donated a batch of leather purses since I mainly use Baggallini and Lug these days. I change bags depending on where I'm going and what I need to carry. Sometimes I carry a small crossbody for my wallet, phone, readers, etc. along with a tote to hold water, iPad, sweater and other times I'll just use a larger purse. I have a good variety of sizes and colors, leather if I want to be a bit more dressy, Travelon if I need the extra security of the clip-on zippers. I like to have options and be prepared for all occasions. But I have resisted today's Lug TSV!

Last count-I had over 60 bags that I have collected over the years. I even have an excel spreadsheet with my bags listed on it. I catagorized them for the season so I can at least use a different bag each week. I know-I am weird. My husband saw what I just typed and he is wallking about going "60?" LOL!

I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one with 50+ bags.   Most of mine are canvas. I'm a sucker for a crafty-looking fabric bag. But I do have a dozen full-sized Dooney's. Most vintage that I got on ebay. I keep telling myself that my handbag-buying days are over, but every once in a while I spot something on ebay I must have. It's a harmless passion. So much easier to store and maintain a handbag collection than say a car collection. Or a tractor collection. I know someone who collects tractors.

@gidgetgh I have a few and have been looking for a new one.I would love a louie Vinton and wallet to match, but to darn pricey

I was going to say too many but some of you ladies have me beat by a landslide !  I've been good about not buying any since I'll be retiring in October and don't need to add another one or spend the money.

Total? 11

3 Fossils

1 Patricia Nash

2 Vera Bradley

1 Lug

1 Baggalini

1 Dooney and Bourke tote

1 Sak leather hobo

1 Aimee Kestenberg

All are used in heavy rotation. The ones I find myself liking the most are the 3 Fossils and the 1 Baggalini. I think I am getting close to listing the Patricia Nash on Poshmark because it is a heavy bag.

I aspire to be where you are one day soon.....

Its funny in the 80s I went to tijuana and bought what I am assuming is a fake Louis Vuitton bag, it has held up all these years and still looks brand new!  I think it was 60 dollars back then.

I just finished purging my handbag collection and right now have six Baggallinis, three Dooneys, and six Vera Bradleys. That's 15 altogether, but only seven of those are actually used as everyday purses. The others are for travel and storage (jewelry, paperwork, etc.).

It wasn't so long ago that one purse at a time was normal for me, but I just can't keep myself down on the farm now that I've seen Pareee. it's nice to have a few to choose from.
