How many Coach purses do you have?

My Coach collection is shrinking; I just pulled three other bags to donate. I've been spoiled by 1941 bags and now I have trouble liking the others. I'm down to three non-1941 bags; the Prince Satchel in Navy, the Soft Swagger in Navy and the Mercer Satchel in Fog. I really love the utility of the Prince and how nice the leather is on the Soft Swagger, and neither have obvious Coach branding with the tags removed (which is what I prefer). My husband gave me the Mercer Satchel as a birthday present so I feel a bit guilty passing it on. I'll wait until fall and see if I reach for it a bit more. If not, I'll find it a good home. i'm considering splurging on a black or camel classic office bag (maybe the Saint Laurent Small Sac de Jour), so if I make room for a bag like that the Mercer will go because it will become redundant. :smile:

I'm down to 9 full size Coach bags (5 Rogues, Ace Satchel, bags above), 3 Dinky/Dinky 24 and 3 Soho Crossbody bags. I love the Dinky 24 size for travel or the day, my Tea Rose Chalk Dinky doubles as a summer dressy bag (with the strap doubled) and the Soho's take virtually no room and are just a fun pop of colour.

It's become clear to me that I generally prefer more neutral bags in classic styles and that I do not want a lot of embellishment or branding. I do have two Tea Rose bags that I love, but that's more the exception that the rule. If I'm going to go for a pop of colour, I'll generally do it in a smaller bag that I just carry for the day. I have a red full size bag, but red is my favourite colour and I wear it a lot. It's almost a neutral in my wardrobe.

I would still add an occasional Coach 1941 bag or SLGs to my collection (I love the trifold wallets although I have enough), but I'm increasingly branching into other brands and I expect that to continue. I wish I'd gotten a passport holder from the holiday line last year; I'll definitely pick one of those up if they come back again. The quality for 1941 items rivals higher end companies and at a much more comfortable price point. I love the 1941 line.
 
I am really trying to keep my number down but it is so hard because I find myself wanting a new bag about every 3-4 months. I just bought a new one and now I have 4. I chose to sell 3 I wasn’t using much to get the total number down to 3 and then I added the 4th.

I have a Berry Alexandra, a Black with contrast trim Kelsey, a Dark Denim Shoulder Duffle, and my newest addition is a Leaf Faye Carryall. Since all 4 are very different sizes, colors, and styles, my hope is that I have enough variety to change it up once in a while and love what I have.

What a lovely mix you have! I look forward to the day that I've narrowed down my favorites and can pass along the excess!

I currently have 7 Coach bags. All are 1941 bags except for 1 butterfly swagger. I keep debating if I want to sell it or not. But it's the bag that pulled me back in to Coach in the first place.

Let’s see... I have 4 Coach purses, 1 diaper bag, and 2 wristlets. I’m currently looking for a new crossbody bag, because I will want to be more hands-free when out and about with my baby girl (I always put the diaper bag in the bottom compartment in her stroller). I joke with my husband that she has a bigger Coach bag than me :biggrin:

I have about 8 Coach bags (and many more from other brands). 3 are acquired pre-2010, and 1 in 2016 and another three this year :) I plan to sell or give away 2 bags from pre-2010. I used to have more collection from the factory outlet ones but I have already gotten rid of those and will no longer buy Coach MFF again ever. And I have a few FP bags that I have my eye on, just need to save the money for them :)
