I went through a serious shopping addiction and from 2014-2016 bought roughly 50 Coach bags, and 15 or 16 more from other designers. I got most from either the FOS sales or found pre-loved bags on eBay, though some were full price purchases. I'm pretty sure some of my eBay purchases were sold to me by tpf members. [emoji5]I also bought many wallets, SLGs, and fobs in that time frame. I also bought my daughter and my closest friends bags, wallets, and wristlets as gifts. It's safe to say I went a tad overboard with the buying.

I haven't purged anything, though I think I need to. I just don't switch out the way I used to and the bags sit there unused.

I recently added another Coach ( the chain strap Edie in rouge. I waited until she was 50% off. I wanted her months ago. ) and 3 more fobs, and a MK I found at the outlet.

I went a full year and some months without purchasing anything purse related. I don't plan on buying on a regular basis again. I'm going to give it another year before I buy anything again.

I go in cycles too. I have been in a purse buying frenzy this year (not just Coach, but some MK and KS on sale as well), but I had not actually bought anything purse/bag related in the 4-5 years prior to that; and I purged a few bags before I bought more this year. I do rotate my bags rather frequently, though if I notice there is one I am just not drawn to (or I find myself rotating into it very infrequently) I know it is time to part with it.

While I am sure I will see many more things I like, I am aware I really don't have any more "purse needs" to fill - likely for rest of life, ha ha, and just wanting another colour in a bag I have is not a good enough reason to get another bag unless it is truly my HG bag. They are far more expensive than Skittles so I don't need every colour of the rainbow! Fortunately I have never fallen much for SLGs or FOBs as I know how dangerous that could be. I am happy using small and lightweight $5.00 cosmetic cases as my catch-alls in my bags :)

The gathered purple was gorgeous, but it was so big, and at the time I wanted little purses. I think that and the green Maggie are my two biggest sell-off regrets. I love persimmon Isabelle. I just wish it had a more useful pocket. I can't figure out how to use the sideways pocket that's on there.

OMG are you talking about that Sabrina Ombre Satchel in purple? I absolutely love the way that bag looks. I totally missed it when it was out and it was probably more $ than I would have spent anyway but I really wish I could get my hands on one of those!

I have no idea how many Coach purses I own. I estimate it to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30. I have never gotten rid of one but I am starting to think about getting rid of some of my outlet pieces now. I have been really lucky lately in the past year to get a bunch of awesome FP deletes and of course some on the sale (at least 7 bags!). I also own quite a lot of Coach wallets too because often I will buy a wallet for a design that I love but can't afford the bag. I have a few charms and SLGs as well but not too many of those. My husband is pretty cool with my Coach addiction, he owns 5 Coach wallets now and a coin purse that folds - they don't make them anymore but it holds up to his beating on it and he is hard of stuff like that.

I have only purchased Coach bags since the early 1990s when I was gifted my first one. I love carrying Coach. I did stray a little bit about 15 years ago with some really cheap designer style bags but they don't hold up so I got rid of them all. I have one Kate Spade bag that was gifted to me and I never use it so it will be on the chopping block. I also have a couple Dooney & Burke Disney pieces because I love Disney and I was lucky to find them for a good price at an estate sale.

I am so glad Coach has started to get their act together in the past several years as I was not buying much of anything for several years because of the canvas/fabric stuff. I much prefer leather.

Right now they are not stored very well, they are hard to get to and I am worried they will get damaged. My husband plans to make our bedroom closet much more useful with added storage shelves, etc and he plans to build me storage just for my Coach bags in there too!
