Love them! Esp the 9044s. How often do you use each one? Do you have any Casinos?

Pre-pandemic I carried a purse and carryall/tote every day. I would switch out my bags for a different set each day. So I probably carried 10-12 bags weekly.

Now I’m carrying one bag when I need to carry one. I’m still working remotely. But I can work in my handbag room where I can enjoy that wonderful leather smell!

I have one Casino bag I bought but it’s so small I decided to give it to a friend. Some bags are so cute I own them even if they’re too small for my use like the Regina.

Here are my dupes - the black/oxblood with tea rose came today!

I hang my duffles to help them keep their shape and protect the straps by laying a silky coach dustbag on the rod. As I wear them, the leather breaks in and they get softer but without the “smoosh” at the bottom that the smooth glovetanned leather can get.

And yes, I have a different black 1941 hangtag on my black duffle because I snagged one when it went up on a resale site - I am always afraid to lose the originals:smile: I am ISO the other colors, too - so I guess I also have multiples of the hangtags as well because I have a brass hardware with pebbled leather for my black Bandit hobo (I love brass!) and a Navy/brass :smile:

I’ve been told that before about it looking like a store! Lol! Actually I have never had any problem hanging my bags. In fact, I store some of my vintage Willis that way to keep them from getting dings on the back where the top dowel can flip over. The d rings on the top can leave indentations on the leather. Here are some photos of more hanging bags.

That's good to know. I worry about how I store my bags. I end up moving them around once a month. I try to pull out anything I don't think I'm using and put it in view. Gives me incentive to use everything. I also think that I don't need another bag but then I go and buy more.

So good to know that I'm not the only one buying a second set of 1941 tags. I've also been looking for some older ones that would give a small pop of color.

There's only been two series/styles that I had loved enough to get multiple, three if you count the RK i/o boxers. Carly and Rogue were my weaknesses. I should take pictures and count, but that'll have to wait for another day!

It wasn’t always like that lol. I’ve gone through lots of buying and selling, and I recently got overwhelmed with owning so many bags. I cut my collection down significantly & I am still working on cutting it more.
I do have multiples in LV- 2 Alma bbs and 2 Pochette Metis bags.

I feel you. I'm in the midst of evaluating my collection. For me, the last year of working from home, then losing my job, being unemployed for 6 months & now (thankfully) in a new job that is completely remote is making me seriously question why I have so many bags.
When I went into an office everyday, I would switch out bags frequently but now, even when we return to the new normal, I will still have far less places to go. I will keep bags that bring me joy or would fill me with regret if I sold. I will slowly rehome or sell the rest. It does help that, with the exception of the Cassie, none of the new styles bring the excitement that the 1941 line did for me so there is far less temptation.

I could have said the exact same thing. I still love all of my bags, but there are just more bags than places to wear them now. Just looking at them is fine for some, but I feel there is less enjoyment in owning them now.

Then again, I have no idea if I will still feel the same way if the world is opening up again. But ban island is just boring and the world, as it is now, is already boring enough.

Congratulations on bouncing back with the new job! Do you prefer working remote or do you like the office life and carrying lots of different bags etc?

I've been wfh for a little over a year now and I love it. I have to start going to the office a day a week soon and will probably have to slowly increase until back to four days. My only positive about that is I can rotate and carry my bags!!! Haha

Haha, I've had the opposite perspective - I've been filled with excitement so I can carry my bags out once everything opens up! I only had one Coach bag before COVID came into the picture so I got into handbags and specifically Coach handbags during being locked down so it's fresh for me. Before that, I would really just carry any old bag based on utility. Longchamp nylon tote or Berghaus backpack for work, Coach Sadie for evenings etc. I can't go back to that life now! :nuts::nuts::nuts:

Thank you! You know, I'm just thankful for a good job. I'm getting used to WFH but I miss the folks I worked with (all of us lost our jobs). We were a jeans casual office but I did rotate my bags regularly & miss that too. Saving $ though on bags, clothes, gas, etc. I'm sure I'll get used to it over time.
