I've been a member for well over two years and am just getting around to posting pictures of my collection. I'm still scratching my head, wondering what possessed me to want to take these pictures at 5:30 am this morning!!! During this time, I have purchased twice as many bags (if not more) than what remains in my collection today. Because 99% of what I bought was purchased online, quite often I found myself either sorely disappointed or just not thrilled with a purchase. In those instances, the bags were either gifted (more often the case) or sold. Today I am somewhat content with what remains in my collection, and I have learned the hard way the consequences of buying compulsively. If I had to list my favorites, they would be D&G Dolce And Gabbana, Gerard Darel, Deere Colhoun and Sissi Rossi although not necessarily in that order. Eventually, I hope to acquire at least one more Bottega Veneta, Chloe, D&G, and Gerard Darel. I am also trying to break my bad habit of buying a gorgeous bag and then hiding it away in my closet. To date, only 13 of the bags you see here have been carried although I've made a commitment to myself to switch to a new bag at least every other week! We'll see how that goes! LOL!

Gorgeous bags - I love all the rich leathers and variety in style!

Wow! Beautiful collection, the colors are amazing!

bagachondriac · Mar 22nd, 2009, 01:11 PM

Thank you margaritaxmix! I didn't realize how many browns I had until taking these pictures. My hape is to add some much brighter colors, but that will have to wait until my funds improve!

Thank you PurseXaXholic!!

Oh believe me... my collection has barely any color and it kills me. I NEED a colorful bag for spring/summer!

I've got my eye on a couple RM MAM bags, but the sales on them just aren't that great lately.

Amazing collection!

Just out of curiosity - why only leather bags ?

Thank you ayla. That's a very good question...I'm just not sure that I have an answer! Hmmmmmm......

I've never thought about it actually. It's probably because I purchase bags based more on style than anything else, and those that I have been attracted to just happen to be leather.
