I'm happy with what I have. I don't feel like there's something missing. Now, I buy just for fun and the sake of wanting to own that pretty thing, but if I can't get it, it's OK.
Have you reached satisfaction with your handbag collection?

Only thing I really feel I am missing is the perfect black bag. Or rather, a cheaper alternative as I have already found the perfect one lol. Finding a good structured black handbag that is large enough to carry my crap and small enough to wear in the crook of my arm has been rather difficult.
This is my problem too. I thought I had found the answer with the Givenchy medium antigona until i saw some reviews on you tube about the handles hitting right under your arm because the shoulder strap wasn’t very long. So I’m still looking.
Just my two cents. I have 2 perfect black bags that you may want to consider. Both found after years of searching for “the” black bag.
Fendi By the Way - Sleek, classic style but still on trend. Softly structured. Incredibly functional. Center zip compartment for extra organization. Lightweight. Adjustable removable strap and hand carry handles.
YSL Small Monogram Cabas (So Black) - Elegant with an edge. Softly structured. Very lightweight. Removable shoulder strap. Very roomy without being bulky.
HTH!I find that as time goes on, my tastes evolve to an extent. Overall I'm satisfied, but will always entertain the thought of new bags as they become available. I do like structured bags and am partial to Hermes box leathers.
The YSL is so gorgeous with the smooth leather and so black hardware!! Very sleek. I don't like monogram hardware, but this is just so pretty!
I think I may have reached temporary purse peace. I was extremely happy with my purchase last weekend and still thinking about how happy I am to have it in my collection. Sometimes I go in my closet to take a peek in the dust bag. Suddenly I'm no longer obsessing over all the other bags I had on my wishlist. I'm still tempted to buy things, but I think I'll start saving for other items that aren't handbags. I hope this purse peace last a while. I'm attempting a handbag ban for the rest of this year. 
There aren't gaps in my collection, so I don't need anything. There were a few bags on my wishlist that I wanted, but now I'm somewhat over them. I might revisit them at a later time, but for now I'm satisfied.

This is a good place to be. I am almost there myself.I think I may have reached temporary purse peace.

I have purse peace. Like many, I am still looking for a black bag that's for every day, that can go to work but still has an edge, isn't a momentary trend, and is not a Birkin or Kelly.
Other than that, I am just refining, rehoming, and occasionally swapping out. I don't often find myself saying "I have no bag for this", and I don't have a LOT of bags.

I like that. "Refining rehoming and occasionally swapping out" is exactly where I am as well.
I've reached the point with bags (and shoes) where I literally have no place else to store them, if that counts
