I'm a 3rd year medical student, and I own a Michael Kors Hamilton medium, 2 Rebecca Minkoff mini M.A.C.s and a LV Neverfull. I just started about one year ago (but loved them before), as I started earning enough with my job. My parents don't pay for anything.
 
Currently I have two Vivienne Westwood's, a Mulberry Lily, Alexa, and Small Bayswater Satchel, and a Louis Vuitton Neverfull. Also soon to have my first Alexander McQueen bag!
I seem to get judged quite a lot bringing these bags to lectures, however, little do people know these were all bought by myself (been working every hour offered to me). However, the McQueen bag was heavily discounted and a soon to be birthday gift :D
 
I'm a Part time college student (6-9 credits per semester) and I work full time 30-40 hours a week.
So far I have:
Louis vuitton cherry pochette
Louis vuitton zippy coin purse
Louis vuitton speedy 30
Gucci disco bag
Gucci soho wallet
Rebecca minkoff mini mac

I pay for EVERYTHING. rent, car, tuition, phone, and all the other bills that pile up :/ and also clothes, I buy lots of clothes, and I'm broke :nuts:
 
I am a recent graduated college student planning to enroll in a university next semester to continue my education. I work about 55 hours a week, I know, so I try my best to keep up with school the best I can. In my small and modest collection I own a mk reese + bedford wallet, DB florentine satchel + wallet, Coach phoebe + wallet. I saved up and I just went with having this small collection so I can save up to pay for school and other extras. I like to stick with the basic colors, cognac, black and dark brown so I can pretty much use them a lot. I am getting married soon so I plan to upgrade to more premier designers and hope my future husband will have no problem spoiling me with that! A women can just dream...

How do you have time for a job as a third year med student?!

Wallets:
- LV Multicolor Koala
- Prada Envelope
- Saint Laurent Classic Marquage

Bags:
- Louis Vuitton Mahina XS
- Gucci Hobo
- LV Neverfull MM in Epi (Indigo)
- Chanel Jumbo Caviar

It kind of looks like Alexander Wang's coin purses with the metal corners. I actually think he did a small collection of glow in the dark items, is this one of them? I think it would be cute to take to a club, bar or other dark place so you can see what's inside. But it's something I would take as a cheaper alternative instead of a nice bag, so I probably wouldn't pay more than $50. Maybe $75 if it's Wang 😏
 
I've literally just graduated from university/college about 3 weeks ago and I'm starting my first full-time job tomorrow (yay).

The only designer bag I own at the moment is a contemporary longchamp le pliage but I'm hoping to save up enough by christmas to treat myself to my first premier designer handbag and wallet - probably a louis vuitton neverfull mm in damier ebene or a mulberry bayswater in black still unsure which to pick. And I would love the mulberry black continental wallet. :)

(Also saving up to go back to college/university to continue my education and for a car).

When I was younger and working, I sadly wasn't very into bags or even makeup. I probably ate most of the money I made. :/ I also have some issues that make it hard to actually cope with even just the idea of working, so I haven't had a "real" job in years. I do some freelance work, though.

My first bag was this Coach crossbody my mother bought for me from an outlet when we were on vacation. The next bag I got myself last year, a Dooney & Bourke satchel, and the last is a Longchamp Le Pliage. My collection is very, very small. xD

I'm also kind of an idiot in that I went ahead into college even though I didn't really wanna go, and now I've got a major that seems to only lead to jobs I don't want to do. Literally everything sounds boring and/or like it would drive me to suicide. :/ Ideally I would love to be running my own store, selling my own handmade designs. I'm already working towards it, but of course the chance that this succeeds is slim. I guess I'll at least have the degree to fall back on.
 
I'm a 3rd year college student, working 20hrs/week during the semester and full time during the summer. The most versatile bag I own is my DKNY all-leather bag in bronze. It fits EVERYTHING - my laptop, books, ipad, jacket, pumps, you name it. But I also adore my Mulberry OS Alexa in oak, Stella McCartney Small Falabella in black, Rebecca Minkoff MiniMAC in grey, and all my Marc by MJ accessories (coin purses, etc.)
 
I don't know the names of most of my bags just the brands.

-3 croc kellys, hated them at first but they've grown on me
-2 birkins, one croc one regular leather
-2 chanel flaps, one black one red
-goyard tote in blue
-bottega veneta clutch for going out, black
-givenchy bag in black
-lots of random balenciaga, rebecca minkoff, marc jacobs, alexander wang, etc.
