Are you a collector?

[lolitablue]

I can't wait to carry my new bag , I plan a whole outft around it , I normalling plan a bag purchase and then I plan the outfit aroound it

Are you a Yanks fan? Saw your avatar. I am. Just got back from seeing them play for Spring Training, in Tampa. On my way back, stopped for shopping and got me an older patchwork hobo that I was dying for!!!

I am for sure a user of my bags they ALL get used, at least like once a month my faves get used 3-4 times a week

I take amazing care of my bags but i def use them i dont see the point in spending the $ i spend without using them!

I buy a new bag and its my bag i use for the next like 3-7 days at least hehe unless its not practical for my uses but i never let a new bag sit for more then a day or 2

Yeah. I'm a collector. I only use my small Nylon Satchel and I did use my Carryall, but that's going into hibernation. The theory seems kind of pointless though...to buy them for dormancy.

When I bring a new bag home...it gets used right away...thats my favorite thing about a new bag. Then once I've carried it a few weeks it goes into rotation with my other bags. The ones that don't get rotated back in after a while...I sell. Usually those were outlet buys that were more impulse...I rarely buy anything at the boutique that I haven't thought about buying for a long time and looked at several times.

thanks! glad to know i'm not too crazy! plus, I tend to like older bags that you don't see much anymore. my all time fav is my signature patchwork gallery tote from holiday 2004 (pink and green and white and black with mahogany patent straps). the sa's go nuts when I walk in with it because you never see it anymore (only the outlet version). I love that bag so much I only carry it every once in a while so it doesn't get ruined

I love to find gently used bags on ebay too, The only bag I have purchased from the boutique is my Whiskey Legacy. I am always looking!!

I like to use all of my bags. Recently I noticed 2 in my closet that were new with tags that had been there for months and I realized that one was an impulse buy and one was such a great deal at the outlet that I went ahead and bought it. I sold those 2 this week, so now I feel like everything else in my closet will be loved by me.

I rotate out my bags and all get used! I only have 4 though but still, I love each and every one!!

 

[Cameelio]

I would like to think I am. Every piece in my collection is planned and well thought out. Because I tell myself if I'm going to spend 500 dollars on a purse I better like it. Once I buy it, I use it. As you can see from my collection, every purse has a matching wallet and sometimes a matching scarf. I'm crazy like that. I take care of them, because I know they will last me probably my entire life. Thats why I love the Coach brand

 

[RinSohma]

I use my bags right away.

 

[superstar]

I carry every bag I have, that's what they are for.

It seems like I am always buying bags for the next season; therefore new purchases are admired only for the first week or two. Then I gradually bring them out; I change my purse almost daily so I am lucky that my bags that I have purchased new (not used from Ebay) are still looking pristine.

I do admitt though; it is hard to cut that tag off an expensive bag. I had heart palpitations taking the tags off my balenciaga rouge theatre, as I am sure I will over the Mandy and the 4 other bags I purchased this week.

 

[Bethy]

I use all the bags in my collection. If for some reason I wasn't going to use them, I'd return or sell on Ebay.

 

[mzkyie]

I use all of my bags!!! I usually buy atleast 4 outfits to wear with it before I actually use it. I've even bought a bag...and loved it so much I use it right out of the store! My SA @ Macy's thinks I'm nuts for that but its fun haha...I did that with my Sig Stripe travel tote I put EVERYTHING in it haha...and carried it the rest of the day hehe

 

[dorcell]

I carry all the bags I buy. They are rotated on a daily basis based on what I'm wearing. I get bored easily.

 

[jewelebeanie]

I don't usually carry my new bags right away. I usually wait about 3-4 weeks. Sometimes the season isn't right and other times I want to make sure that I really, really want to keep the bag.

I am the complete opposite! Usually as soon as I step out of the store, I am in the car moving everything over to the new bag. I don't think I will ever get rid of my Coach bags. I am going to get rid of a lot of the other cheaper bags I have, but never the Coach. Granted I only have 2 purses and 1 large tote that I use for work. Perhaps my ways will change when my collection gets larger.
