Well, I'm 54, so over the years I have accumulated, um, quite a few, and they run the gamut. All kinds, including, yes, some famous names, for those who are easily impressed. 
I'm glad you asked this question, I hope that it will Inspire me to include more handbags in the Blessing Bags of clothing that I fill up and donate to a small organization in my community that helps women who are liberating themselves from abusive situations.
I don't know why, but I don't put a lot of bags in those Blessing Bags. I have bags that I haven't used at all for years, including some I don't even like very much, so I'm unlikely to ever use them, because I have so many that I DO like.
While I can't afford expensive bags, and to tell the truth, even if I were rich as Oprah, I would still not want to pay so much for one bag, I would just get more inexpensive ones whose "look" I like!
The only exception would be my beloved one of a kind, hand embroidered bags from here and there around the world. If I were rich, I would gladly pay the artist very handsomely!
I really enjoy having a lot of bags, and deciding which bag looks best with which outfit, even if the "outfit" consists of a simple knit top and jeans. Which it usually does.
Yes, I'm evading the question. I know. You're waiting for a number, and you haven't got all day. I usually keep about 12 or 15 in the larger circle of current rotation, and 6 or so of those will enjoy, at any given time, VIP Preferred and Frequent rotation.
Right. That's not what you asked. You asked how many as in total. All of them.
The truth is, I don't really know exactly how many I have. OK. A lot.
But I intend to have a lot less, and empower many of them (not evening bags, though. I just can't seem to let go of a single evening bag. Maybe one day) to go out into the world and touch other lives, and bless somebody.
