Believe it or not, I have well over 200 bags right now. I own an import business and have designers in other countries create bags for me. They are all different and about 75% are handmade silk. I just received 3 shipments so bags are everywhere! What Fun!
423................66 designer.............about 100 vintage.......7 of them Dior.......my PASSION.....I have lots of vintage Dior dresses too!
A couple each of vintage Cavalli, Bottega, Hermes, Nina Ricci, Balenciaga, Cardin, Pucci Viv Westwood YSL and Gucci
I have been collecting for over 20 years.....they all carefully stored at my dads lock up in Liverpool in the UK.
I use cetain favourites on special occasions. Especially my Silver Dior clutch with bobble clas top......its 50s.....it has one bobble made from crystal and the other from jadeite......its totally Holywood 0ld school glamour
I think I need to photograph them individully though for insurance purposes...
Oh and I have several oriental ones too.....I love and adore them

I used to have A LOT more, but I have "edited" down my collection in the past year or so to about 17, to try to keep just the ones that I actually use on a regular basis and/or consider timeless classics. I also wanted to eliminate some of the duplicate colors. (In my younger days, I started out with Coach and then Marc Jacobs, but I've gotten rid of all but one of those as my tastes have changed.)
4 Chanel
3 Ferragamo
2 YSL
2 LV
1 Fendi
1 Jimmy Choo
1 Prada
1 Mulberry
1 Marc Jacobs
1 Nancy Gonzalez
There's about 4 or 5 other bags on my "wish list" right now that I'd like to buy to fill in the "holes"--colors, sizes, or styles that I feel I'm lacking.

Wow! Never thought such collection can be owned by a normal person, not some movie star or something. So far I have only 14 bags, most non-designer...
I hope it will change soon.
