Most of my bag collection consists of RM and Coach. I think I have more RM than Coach now. Scary beings that I just got inducted into the world of RM back at the end of 2010!

Besides RM and Coach, I have love for MBMJ with some Petal to the Metal pieces. I also have a couple of Fossil bags, which amazingly enough seem to be better made and have thicker and nicer leather than some of my more expensive bags.

I have love for Chloe, but I have not purchased anything from that designer. I think I am afraid of what would happen if I were to buy the bag I've been wanting (Marcie). It always seems you can never have just one.

Now I've been branching out this year... pretty much trying to touch on some premier designers I've admired and seeing what works for me and what doesn't... my goal is to have maybe five to seven handbags that I'm drop-dead in love with! I have sold quite a few of my RMs recently, so I am MAC-less at the moment w/ one MAM. I still have my beloved Wine Matinee and Black and Gold Studded Affair, two RMs I don't think I will ever part with. I have recently added: ~ Marc Jacobs Quilted Eugenie Clutch in Grey ~ LV Neverfull MM in Mono ~ Balenciaga Outremer Giant Silver Hip ~ Balenciaga City in Black w/ mRGGH (on its way!) I'm DYING to get a Chloe Marcie (obsessed) and a Prada Saffiano Lux Tote into my collection in the near future. And then knowing me, I'll cycle right back to RM!

Gateway brand! I agree too!
I am also dying for a Marcie. Mine would be in black, medium sized w/the strap.

RMs i own - 1 nikki, 1 mini nikki, 6 MAMs
chloe is my other favorite brand. 1 paraty - my most favorite bag. MAM is 2nd favorite bag.
I dont have LV or bal, but would love a bal one day. i won a coach that i never use, but cant part with.

i really really want a small marcie hobo in tan for my next chloe.

Definately not loyal.

I'm a big fan of Balenciaga (my favourite), Rebecca Minkoff for Contemporary lines. My bag collection really varies. But I only have multiples of Bals and RMs.

I have been lemming a lot of LV pieces recently (brown/pink Cherry Blossom papillon, Speedy 30, Mon Mono Neverfull MM, some SLGs) and I'd like another Rocco - preferably black & rose gold. With how often I've been carrying my Tangerine Rocco recently, I feel a black Rocco would be the perfect black bag for me.

Oh yeah its the Gateway bag!! RM started me on a LONG road....and an expensive one! But I learned one lesson...you ALWAYS come back to the one you love!
I ventured UP.......way up......I went to Burberry leather, Mulberry, Tods and then BV......
If they had an in between large and Maxi Veneta, I would not have come back to RM...
I am a Nikki girl through and through....Other than the 4 Nikkis I have, my only two other bags now are a Tods Sagomata in Coated canvas for the summer..(leather is NOT nice in Alabama at this time of year!) and an Elena Ghisellini (Givenchy Pandora and Nightingale designer).....
I would say Tods is my other love....great bags!
But its Nikki FIRST!

Marc by Marc Jacobs is my second go to brand. I love RM though with all the fun colors! They're addictive though--sucks for my bank account!

Love the LV cherry blossom papillion! I have the Pochette. Rocco's are fabulous but so heavy I had to sell mine :( I'm still sad.

I'm definitely not brand loyal. I have more RMs than anything but I have a fair number of Botkier bags and I love them so I'd say that is my second go-to brand.

I also dabble in other designers. For instance, I like the PTTM bags from MBMJ and anything Alexander Wang makes with bubbly lambskin.

I like stuff that's a little bit funky with nice leather. Practical is nice, too. :)

Def have more RM than any other brand...8 total. I also have some Hayden Harnett, Linea Pelle, tokidoki, one lonely coach bag and now a treesje on the way. I haven't really branched out into the premium designers I'm pretty happy with the ones I have.

I love this thread, I think it's so interesting to see what else everyone is into! RM is the first love of course. Then Treesje, BAL, HH, little bit of Botkier, Chloe, Moni Moni, CC SKye, UHM, I think I just love leather!

LOL - I'm with you on that. I think it definitely boils down to a leather addiction!

Third mmmm

RM is my all time FAV have around (15) but I do enjoy my older KOOBAS, LV speedy ,Treesje and Haden Harnett .

I love RM the best in contemporary lines. I only have 1 miniMAC and 1miniMAb so far but I am certainly on my way of getting more in the near future. I have a couple of Tory Burch and coach and michael kors. They are all in similar price range.

I'm an RM girl, for sure, but I also LOVE Balenciaga and am beginning to have a troubling obsession with Chloe too. I'm also into Treesje, Alexander Wang and there are bags from YSL and Givenchy on my wishlist as well. RM is my main squeeze, though, with Bal taking second place by a hair- 9 times out of ten, I'm carrying RM or Bal.

ETA: Gateway brand . . . absolutely.
