Here is my small modest collection. I am only 20 and new to "collecting" designer purses, as I use to simply sell and swap out a new purse every few months. But that left me with a limited variety of bags to carry, so I have recently started purchasing more versatile bags that I will keep and wear for longer periods of time. Rather than buying trendy bags on a whim and selling them on ebay within a few months so I can buy a new one. Of course, I did have to sell a few of my mid-priced bags in order to finance my newest addition, THE BV JULIE!!! My Marc by Mj carryall, Botkier Bianca, and Kooba Dylan are currently in boxes ready to be shipped out to some lucky eBay new owners, or else I would have included them in the photos as well

Here they are:

1) Givenchy Medium Nightingale in Black
2) Balenciaga Courier in Truffle? (i think that is the color)
3)Bottega Veneta small Julie in White
4) Anya Hindmarch I'm not a Plastic bag
5) Goldenbleu Emerson Clutch
6)Miu Miu Silver Metallic Wristlet

So my collection is still in the works and is definitley lacking some COLOR, but I think it is coming together nicely. Can't wait to add another

I pre-ordered it from Ronherman.com back in April! It was even delivered 2 days before the official US release date on 6/20

And thank you for the compliments ladies. It's a very small collection, but growing!My brithday is 8/22 so i hope to add another by then!!!

Hi guys. I decided to add some of my older/vintage items I don't use on an everyday basis, but would like to share with ya'll. I know this is a handbag showcase but I included some scarves and a suitcase just because...

1) In the back is a Vintage 70's era Navy and Cream Dior monogram suitcase that was my mother's when she was a teen and she passed on to me!
2) Vintage purple silk chiffon MissDior mushroom scarf (ebay)
3) Vintage Gucci leather and monogram canvas clutch/cosmetic case (ebay)
4) Moschino nylon with leather trim purse. This isn't vintage but is defintinley an older style.My sis bought it for me while on her senior trip to Italy back in 2003.
5) The 3 silk scarves (Givenchy,Balenciaga,and Dior) are all vintage and purchased at an vintage shop in LA last summer
