Hi I have a small collection of bags, although hubby doesn't agree...
Mulberry hanover in magenta
Mulberry Annie in choc/oak
Mulberry Ledbury in choc
Mulberry Ledbury in baby pink
Gucci Bardot in black
2 x DKNY in black and brown
Radley Away day bag
Radley explorer bag
3 X Russell and Bromley leather bags, apple green and cream
Several Radley mini bags

Is this excessive, I'm not really looking to expand (well maybe one more Mulberry)
but can't bring myself to sell any more (I've already downsized by about 33%) mostly Radley and Gucci......

Please tell me this is a small collection so I can show my hubby...

First of all, you are asking the wrong people. If you ask a bunch of bag collectors/lovers, you will get people who have a bigger collection than you do and some less. If you ask the masses (like if you were to set up a booth somewhere and ask random women) almost definitely you would have a large collection, but more than that, you would probably have a much more EXPENSIVE collection. Probably most women have 10 handbags around, but most women only spend $100 or less (probably $50 or less) on their bags. My guess is that the average woman has a summer and winter bag that they buy each year, a tote, maybe a backpack and then some older bags they love and just can't get rid of either because they love them or they are still "good".

Of the women I know in real life, the average woman of MY age or younger probably has 4-5 bags total and NONE of the expensive. Older women I knowhave a few more bags simply because they have more space and more time to gather them.

Trying to prove to your boyfriend/husband that your obsession is within normal ranges by asking a bunch of collectors??? Um... that's bad research as my husband would say.

I should add, I'm a newbie here, so I'm not in the realm of "collector".

I have these bags:

Black leather Rafe Kate - a non mommy purse I can use as a diaper bag
Cognac leather Andrew Marc Faith bag - non mommy purse I can use as a diaper bag
Cognac leather Not Rational Hansel for my big diaper bag
Camel nylon REI Nikola daypack (for going to parks/walks)
Turquoise nylong Sherpani Major Flora (as a beach/sporty bag)
Leaf Leather C.L. Whiting VERY small clutch for going out
Striped eel Jimmy Choo Carolina oversized clutch that DH just got me for anniversary

My wishlist? I wish to replace the Rafe Kate above with another black bag that will not slip from my shoulder. I'm hoping the Rafe Kate Wooster fits that bill.

I'm also IN LOVE with the Prada handbag that has the water bottle holders on the side and am trying to save for that.

And THIS is a huge and very EXPENSIVE collection compared to ANYONE else I know in real life that I haven't met through a bag group. And we are a very middle class family in a very middle class, DC burbs neighborhood.

I have tried to ensure variety in colours. Currently, I have 10 leather bags in total that receive regular wear:

MJ Stam in grey (quilted)
MJ baby Stam in slate (patchwork)
MJ Elise in dark aqua (soft calf)
Mulberry Bayswater in magenta
Chanel medium classic flap in black
LV Alma in red
LV Vernis Roxbury in noisette
Longchamp Rodeo in black
Longchamp mini Rodeo in silver
Burberry leather tote in cognac brown

Besides these bags, I have pochettes, Longchamp Pliages and other accessories. Finally, I have one Longchamp leather tote that has not seen the light of day in almost a year... Perhaps it is time to admit that getting a bag just because of a bargain is not so great idea. :(

I don't count. But, I always tell other people you collect (fill in the blank - gadgets, dolls, etc.) and I collect purses that I actually use. They usually don't say anything else... Also, I get all of my purses on sale (which allows me to buy more).

Well over a hundred. Don't worry, they're not luxury/expensive bags, as I have better things to do with my money. I think the most expensive bag I bought is about $500. The vast majority of them are in the $100 to $300 price range, although many of them are substantially less expensive. But there are already threads on this topic.

I have 9, including designer diaper bags and not counting a couple of bags I'm trying to sell. Plus a couple of Overland Equipment bags for the zoo, park, etc.

Hopefully soon I'll have one, maybe even two more if I can find a great deal on a Mulberry chocolate Ledbury ;).

At the current moment I have:
1 Chanel
1 Prada
1 Armani
3 Coach
Plus a few cheaper Kipling, LeSportsac, and vintage Ralph Lauren bags

I'm in a transistion stage right now- I've already sold a few of my nice bags (with a couple more to go in the coming months) in preparation for a few new bags coming my way in the next couple months.
