Nothing to be embarrassed about. Quite a few others on here have lots more than that. Once upon a time I consistently had 30+ bags at one time. I 'weaned' myself from having so many bags that I never had time to use. And I made myself get rid of all the cute bags that were not really useful to me. Over a long period of time I had thinned the herd to a dozen and now keep between 12 - 18 bags at one time.

Congrats! That's a hard thing to do.

I'm too embarrassed to count! It is hard to wean some out because I really love them but I don't go to an office much any more so they really don't get used. I keep trying to cull the herd but just haven't had much time. Just sold a chalk ocelot tote on ebay tonight so moving in the right direction! I have the same tote in gray which suits me better.

I like having a mix of larger and smaller bags, and bags for different seasons. There are only two I regret buying. I waited six months (for the summer SAS) before buying the Brooklyn but the leather lining I loved makes it very heavy. I bought it for the office but because it’s so heavy with a laptop I end up needing a separate tote anyway. Then I feel like I’m carrying two large bags. I’ve started using my home laptop when I work from home, so I should give it another chance before deciding what to do with it.

The turquoise Primrose Satchel was an impulse and I shouldn’t have gotten it. It’s one open compartment and just isn’t really my style. My daughter likes it so I’ll probably just give it to her. I liked the pop of colour but I’ll never use it more than a couple of days a year.

I really don’t want to take up room with bags I’ll only use once or twice a year, particularly when they’re full sized.

I'd love to see pictures of your Legacy rehab. Please post in the rehab club: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/coach-rehab-and-rescue-club.833400/ I've rehabbed a few Legacy bags but they don't always come out as good as I would like.

I'll be pleased to! Not quite finished playing with it, still have to do the edging, but I will post when I've got time. At the moment I am up to my elbows in cookie dough!

 

[Gimmestuff]

Oooh, leather car coat with removable wool lining! Sounds fab! Would you mind sharing a picture?

Sure thing, as I mentioned to Whateve, I'm baking up a storm for the next few days, but I'll post it when I can. : )

You are so right about that!

It doesn't matter how many you have if you're happy with them. I would get to feeling guilty and overwhelmed about having so many. Having 15 or 16 seems to be the really 'happy number' for me.

You have a job where you can use a lot of bags and that makes it worthwhile for you......I work at home, so just how the heck was I going to use that many bags? That was the reason behind the guilty feelings. You change up for different seasons, I don't......even if I did change for every season, it would still be the same bags because we really don't have seasons. So it makes sense for you to have a nice selection of bags to choose from. My taste in bags have changed over time. I find that I now prefer open style totes in medium to large sizes and I really like it if it has a long shoulder strap too. I like the 'throw & go' the open totes provide me and get impatient with having to maneuver items out of a bag and having zippers scratch the back of my hand.

I'm taking a week off soon to organize my house. Been working waaaayyyy too many hours for several months now so things are out of control. I want to take all my bags out, organize them, moisturize them and sort thru what I have to see if I can part with some. Then I need to start shopping in my own closet. I have a great collection. I'll try to take some photos when I'm going thru this process.

I know I have:

Regular Rogues in:
1941 Red - carrying now for the holiday
Olive
Original Black
Cornflower w/ snake handle
Melon w/ tea roses
Rogue 36 in blue suede
Rogue totes
Black with links
light gray
Rexy tote in burgundy
Rogue doctor satchels in:
Dark denim with snake handle (love!)
Black with whipstitched handle
Oxblood
Chalk
Butterscotch with snake detail
Bandit in chalk - a recent acquisition
Dinky
first edition blue with tea roses
orange tiger haircalf but may return tomorrow - stripes go vertical instead of horizontal
like the stock photo and not sure it is a good "investment" being haircalf
Saddle Bags
23 black with tea roses
23 flax
Black - next size up
Olive mixed leathers with yellow snake strap
Nomads in:
Eggplant
Navy
Black with willow flowers
Grey with willow flowers
Butterscotch
Carmine
Black Cherry
Cerise (also in smaller crossbody version)
White pebbled with fringe
Ace stachels in:
Racing Green
Indigo
Fog w/ suede sides
Would love to add the burgundy and cornflower! I just love the detail on this bag!
Drifter in:
Black top handle - love how much this fits and the sophisticated lady-like look
Navy carryall
Dark Aubergine top handle with willow flowers
Edie 42? (larger size)
Black w/ suede sides
Oxblood glovetanned
Fatigue w/ suede sides
Oxblood with studs from a few years ago
Edie in Surplus with chain detail - thinking of selling since I never used it
Edie in a black cherry haircalf - can't remember the official name
Grey ocelot tote from outlet
Carmine tote from outlet
Swagger in carmine
Swagger wristlet in black (recent acquisition)
Some wallets but I'm not big on wallets
Bag charms....don't get me started.....
So have enough to keep me entertained for quite some time. I do notice I lean toward colorful bags and not many in neutrals.

Wow! Your list makes me envious of not having an office job where I would be able to use all those bags! As far as keychain/ bag charms go, I collect them so I've got hundreds......

I like the 'throw & go' the open totes provide me and get impatient with having to maneuver items out of a bag and having zippers scratch the back of my hand.

I understand the guilty feelings. I have pretty much let go of the guilt since I've sold enough, and bought many of my items at a discount, that I'm not overwhelmed by the money I have invested in my bags. However, like you, I don't have a job that I need to carry a bag to. I generally use my bags to go out to eat, shop, or to the movies. I just got a new bag that I think I'm going to return since I really don't need another. With the number of bags I have, it would get carried a few weeks, and then not seen again for a really long time. I'm still trying to figure out more bags I can live without, so I can get down to a more manageable number like you.

I forgot to add the Rogue in Mineral.....an ebay find that was in like new condition! I guess it had been used in some photo shoots and one of the feet was missing but I sent it to Coach and they replaced it! I'm sure I'm missing others but they are still loved, too!

I love just looking at them. I just like fine leather goods! I have started pulling a small collection on to my bookshelf in my bedroom that I use for shoes/bags and like to display them nicely and use them. Then I rotate them out for a new batch depending on the season. I work at home a lot now so I have to find excuses to take them out.

I'd love to have a room where I could have shelves like the Coach store and display them all. Then you know what you have. But keeping them all out would be hard to keep them dust free especially the ones with suede. Just not practical.....unless they were in glass enclosed shelves! LOL! We can dream!
