I own about 70 bags (maybe 25 designer), and use probably 5 of those. I have a very hard time getting rid of anything because my daughters may want them one day. If I was going to sell what I don't use, I could probably buy a Birkin!!

Are all 25 still in your good graces? Any that should find a new home?
Great thread! I currently own eight, with four more on the way (will likely not keep all four, though).
I use every single one of the bags in my collection, and like to keep it on the smaller side so that I use everything.
I have about 7 (maybe 8) designer bags and about 12-15 non designer bags that I use for school. All of my bags are used regularly. My designer bags aren't used for school (too big of a chance of it getting stolen/damaged), but I do use them on the weekends and after my classes are done.
I own about 25. I rotate between 6 on a regular basis and the others just on occasion (goes perfect with a couple of outfits, etc)
Did you bequeath me those goggles? You forgot to add the sale part.i was having major sales goggles when i first got into bags....but i'm over that now. i have several on bonanzle that i never used and/or rarely used, which i finally accept that they are just not me. so, hopefully they will go to someone that loves them.
But then I say that and I just picked up a large pewter satchel from Kenneth Cole for $65 (down from $338)....but at least this one looks more meso we shall see.

That's a very classic bag. What does the Charlotte Rousse bag look like? Like I need more eye candy to tempt me...I have 2 designer bags (Louis V and Coach), one Forever21 bag and 1 Charlotte Rousse bag. I use the Coach one more often than the LV because its black. But for the most part, I use my charlotte rousse bag as a everyday bag since that's the bag I use for school. My LV is only for when I look nice. I'm getting the Gucci boston bag as a everyday bag.
What is the Market Place?I probably own 30 bags... mostly designer or at least "semi" designer (I guess?) I think I wear like 4 of them....which is WHY I need into the Market Place!!!!!!!!!!!
Which is your absolute favorite?I have 8 plus one clutch. I rotate between all of them on a fairly regular basis.
Oh? Let's talk...I have 20 bags - mostly LV... I change my bag daily. I do not repeat until I use each bag (except for special occasions ). I have 3 bags I really do not care for but I force myself to use them, otherwise I would never use them. I am actually trying to sell them at a resale place right now.
I agree about enjoying them. They become like old friends... that don't borrow money or get too drunk in public...oh yeah. i could never get rid of any of them, but i started becoming a collector for a bit and i want to put an end to that. i love these bags and they're meant to be carried and enjoyed. i'm actually carrying one of the neglected bags today!
Good for you. I am constantly trying to simplify my life. Not an easy task. I salute you.I believe I have simplified my life with owning a total of approximately 15 bags. I use every single one of them and I rotate about three times a week.
Lovingly is the best way in all we do. Good luck on selling!own 5....I listed 1 for sale but it hasnt sold yet and I just recently recieved 1 so it hasnt been used at all.....thus I use 3 lovingly
Great plan. Where do you sell them?I currently own nine bags. I try to rotate them daily, but i tend to use three or four of them.
I also try to sell the ones that i dont use/love any more to help fund others and keep my grand total under 10...
Ooh! I do hope you post the painted one when it's done. I would love to see it.^^ I own 9 as well!
5 are designer, 3 I don't use and will probably sell, and 1 is damaged (I got paint on it which I can't get off) but is a really nice style and colour, and I'd like to get some art supplies in and paint roses all over it.
Pardon my ignorance... what are S/S bags?
There is a great consignment shop near me. I definitely will keep this option in mind.
