I have 6 or 7. Not including 2 more BE's on the way, but I also like and try to live by the motto "one in and one out." Usually I have a fave bag that I use most of the time for work and others for play or traveling. I have a 2 LV's, 1 Gucci, and 1 Hermes I won't part with.

Thanks audball67 -- unfortunately I have lately been using it as an excuse to shop (as opposed to snacking or dining out... )
((sigh))....I think that's my problem too!
I currently own 3 but one is "up for adoption" plus I have 3 bespoke orders. I like to keep it at 5 or 6. More than that and I get anxious about having too many.
I feel that I have too many at 17. I have 5 of the RMs in rotations currently (waiting on my first BEs to arrive, at which point, I suspect they will dominate the rotation!)
I have:
3 Lancel
4 Coach
1 Longchamp
6 Rebecca Minkoff
1 Balenciaga
2 Belen Echandia

I own quite a few bags. I don't feel the need to count them so don't know how many. I use most of them and occasionally sell the ones that I know will never see the light of day. I am trying to be a bit more careful about what I buy now so that I only fill gaps and my favourites get used relatively often.
On the other side of the expenditure scales I don't have the cost of running a car and rarely spend much money on holidays, dining out or alchohol. I never buy full price clothes and am very cunning at gettting good items at low cost.

My lack of storage space keeps me from acquiring too-too many bags. I can't organize things well enough to get at them readily, and if I can't see my stuff, I won't use my stuff. If my bags get buried in clutter or it takes a long time to switch from one bag to another, they will go unloved in their dustbags and that makes me sad and even a little anxious, as tloveshim says.
Not counting junky canvas weekenders and my camera-gear bags, I have 9 purses now with a 10th on the way: 3 from the recent HH sales, 3 older HHs, 1 more HH on the way, 1 Kooba, my BE TME and a Biasia bag that I refuse to part with even though it's seen much better days because I love the dark red color so much. That's a couple too many since a few are bags that serve the same purpose. Many are black, so there's too much overlap. Still, there are gaps to be filled -- a nice evening bag, a job interview appropriate bag, more color, something in the whiskey-cognac family. Paring down the black bags will be my priority before adding anything else.

Right now, I have 7 - 4 BE's (with one on the way shortly); 1 Marc Jacobs and 2 RM's. I actually try to stay around this number but I have handbag attention deficit disorder - seriously I can fall in and out of love so quickly it would make you head spin. I am always buying and/or selling.
I have H.A.D.D. too!
I have i think 10 or 11 right now. One is currently up for adoption, and one more will follow this spring.
I'm at a point right now where, aside from those 2 bags, I can't really imagine parting with any of mine! But at the same time, i feel like i have entirely too many bags. While I don't plan on purchasing any bags in the near future, there are one or two high end bags I'd love to add to my collection.
But that's the thing, I don't want it to just be a collection

I think I have 19 (this includes the 2 BE's I have on order). I think for me keeping it under 20 is a good number. I do sell some off to buy more to keep it reasonable.
Right now I have the two BE's on order, 3 LV's, 2 Hermes, 8 Bals, 2 Kooba's and 2 older Coach bags.

i feel two guilty to count them out but reckon im nearest in numbers to audball 
in my defense i have no debt and my other spending habits are very sensible. everyone has one weakness and i declare mine to be beautiful bags.

I currently own NINE bags, i just shipped No 10 to a lucky BE newbie and there's a beautiful Gaucho on her way here... I would like to keep my bag total around 15 at the end of 2009.
I own four chloes, two bals, one BE and two RMs (plus the Dior on her way to Spain). I couldnt part with any of them.
I lead a pretty stressful life with two small children, no husband and a freelancer job, plus i do all the housekeeping, so i think i am entitled to a few bags... I am starting to feel that i should also get some good clothes to match my bags, but that'll mean cutting down on purses...

Not counting my bags "up for adoption" - I like that term - I will have 7 bags and 8 clutches.
If I break it up that way it doesn't sound so bad. This is after two big clean-outs in '08 and now one in '09. I parted with a lot of bags I loved
, but didn't carry enough to justify keeping. I would consider "adopting" out my clutches, but I do use all of them!
The bad thing is, is that I am already looking for replacements...in colors I don't have!!

I'm with you mariabdc! I need new clothes too, but always end up in the bag section - lol! I'm starting to look like a hobo with lovely bags
