Love to see one can downsize, as much as you have Maple. I think I am also started to walking down that road.

klp0213 · Oct 9th, 2009, 10:30 AM

That was some cull Maple! I'm amazed that you managed to get it down to only four. All this time I've been saying I'd be happiest with 6 or 7 bags and I still have 11!

numnut · Oct 10th, 2009, 06:14 AM

I've posted my collection back in July - so here is an updated picture(s).

Like Maplecottage I have streamlined my collection and now feel that this might be it. The only addition I see myself making in a few years time is a bayswater - at the moment not grown up enough for such a classic bag.

Oh and possibly swapping the large anthony for a small one. That's it - no more!

numnut - i love love love your family! so colourful and fun.

i'm so jealous!

numnut · Oct 10th, 2009, 06:22 AM

Its taken about 14mths to amass this lot - ebay/ lovehandbags and Bicester. The thrill and hence the addction, is sourcing them and finding older styles in perfect condition.

30spooh you will be surprised how quickly a collection builds and how little sometimes you can pay for them. I would say nearly all of them have been about a third of the original price.

only recently got my first mulberry from bicester and itching to get another already! this is gonna be an expensive addiction!!!

blivlien · Oct 10th, 2009, 02:51 PM

numnut - great collection. that pink mabel is a stunner

Cat · Oct 16th, 2009, 08:23 AM

Numnut:

loving your family!

sarajane · Oct 27th, 2009, 01:34 PM

Maple, that's a very impressive case of downsizing. Hard as I try, I just can't get down to under 10 bags. You must have will of steel!

Numnut, your colourful collection is lovely. I'm a sucker for colour too and you have some gorgeous bags there.

bagcrazy123 · Oct 27th, 2009, 01:40 PM

MC and Numnut, I love the bags you both have! I am also going to downsize my collection, I just have to, I have too many bags!!

Kriscat · Oct 27th, 2009, 03:08 PM

Maple - your collection is lovely, A4 is a great bag, isn't she?

numnut - so colourful, love your collection - esp the Mabel(can't seem to get enough of them).

Poppy bagfan · Oct 27th, 2009, 03:52 PM

klp I think that 10/11 is the perfect number to be honest....

Numnut i take my hat off to you for this collection...whilst i cannot and do not do colour like this, i think that you have a perfect collection of shapes and sizes that covers every eventuality....

MC, i just think you are an amazing woman! i love that kind of Zen approach...

my problem is that i am just too manic - up and down - and each up needs a reward and each down needs some comfort!

rubystella · Nov 1st, 2009, 11:28 AM

Small but happy family

The brown bag in the upper right corner started it all. Does anyone know the name of the model?

klp0213 · Nov 1st, 2009, 02:20 PM

Lovely family ruby! I don't know the name of that bag either, but it does look a bit like the Dillon so could be part of that bag 'family'. Hopefully someone else with more Mulberry knowledge will be along!
