So well said! These are my thoughts exactly. I know many people who collect lots of things that I would never spend my money on: guns, civil war items, ceramic lighthouses, ceramic piggy banks, cameras, coins, etc., but there's no judgement from me and I would hope that they wouldn't judge me for collecting what I love. The handbags I buy, besides being carried, are also for me to display (in my closet) and admire just like any other collectible.

I've bought quite a few bags over the last 10 years or so:
- 9 Tod's bag's
- 2 Mulberry
- 1 Hugo Boss
- 2 Salvatore Ferragamo
- 3 Jimmy Choo
- 2 Gucci
- 4 Louis Vuitton - 2 x Monogram, 1x Damier 1 x Epi black)
- 1 Kate Spade
- 2 Furla
- 3 Bally
- 1 Dior (very small clutch)
- 1 Celine (very small clutch)
- 2 Roberto Botticelli
- 1 Burberry (very small evening bag)
- 1 Marc by Marc Jacobs
- 2 Bally
- 1 Coach bag
I use them all and they are all genuine. I bought some on Ebay and some in the store. My favourite bag is My Tods D-Bag: so practical!

I started to collect them when I was studying law as well. Worked hard -parttime- and my boyfriend bought me a few as well. He bought 2 of my Tods bags as well as my LV speedy in Epi and LV Batignolle Horizontal, Marc by Marc Jacobs and two of my Jimmy Choo bags -Tulita and a small clutch. The first bag I bought from Tods was the Girelli and I still use it quite often. I like my LV speedy bag and Batignolle as well as they are quite spacious and practical. I totally forgot about my Longchamp bag! Should add that to the list as well. That one gets rarely used. I love all my bags and I am always very careful with them -put them in their dust cover when I don't use them, etc - etc.-.
Let's see ... I started collecting when I was around 20 ... Back then it was coach ... Then Dooney ... I went into my Juicy Couture phase ..... Then onto 😍😍😍my first LV (after a much deserved bonus at work) Louis Vuitton Murakami Speedy .... Shed while after I got over the logo thing ... Bought about 10 Rebecca Minkoff's ...love her leather bags !!! .... Most recent purchase ... My rose gold Alexander Wang !!! Right now .... Saving for my first Balenciaga !!
I love Louis vuitton bag, and buy All I have money for.
Think I Can not have to many.
Naw I have 6
I was thinking I was somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 or so. But, I just did a collection thread over the weekend and was surprised to count that I'm at 25. Guess it's a good thing I'm on a ban for the rest of the year...I need to give the bags I already have more love and use!!
The breakdown:
11 Rebecca Minkoff
1 Chloe
1 Marc Jacobs
1 Reed Krakoff
1 Badgley Mischka
2 Marc by Marc Jacobs
2 Longchamps
1 Linea Pelle
1 Michael by Michael Kors
1 Elliot Lucca clutch
2 Tano
1 Coach

Hello everyone, I am new around here and trying to re-build my bag/purse collection (if it could be called that). Reason why I joined this forum, to get some more knowledge and find inspiration.
I love bags and shoes and had a small closet just for them. Just recently I discovered a leak in that closet that ruined most of what was inside, I couldn't believe my eyes, it was so sad. I lost a lot of stuff and now I am looking to buy some new pieces, I feel bad to spend so much money so I might go for pre-loved or just wait until I see something I really love and have to have!
All I have left now is:
LV Noe (1998)
LV Speedy (2009) I just bought it pre-loved
Dooney & Bourque Signatute It barrel
LV Pochette
A couple of all-leather Tommy H. Purses
Michael Kors Hamilton
And, lots of lululemon bags (I used to work for lululemon) but these I only wear casually/travel/gym.
In all honesty, I kind of feel better now that I have less stuff, I wear my purses a bit more now, while before I used to forget what I had.
It is fun to read through this threads
