I have 5 Coach handbags, soon to be 6 once I receive my Edie 31 Rivet Fatigue next week :smile: 2 Coach wristlets & 1 Coach clutch/crossbody.
Also have 1 Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac, 5 MK handbags, 1 MK continental wallet and 1 MK fullerton crossbody.

I recently downsized, gave my sister 2 MK bags and might give her one of my Coach handbags to make room for my new Edie 31. I recently bought 2 Dooney & Burke handbags - a Zip Zip & small Elisa. Returned the Zip Zip, couldn't get used to the small handles and gave my sister the Elisa.
I have been a die hard Coach fan since the mid 1990's. I remember my co-worker thinking I was nuts paying over $200 for a Coach handbag back in the 90's now I think that's a bargain lol. I do prefer Coach over MK. Can't believe how well my 2012 Legacy Coach bag has held up, so happy with the quality. I wish I would have held onto my older Coach bags from 1990s regret getting rid of those :sad: I think I at one time had the Casey crossbody?

I've had quality issues with a few MK bags. I bought my sister a Camden crossbody and the strap broke after 11 months. Also my silver Fulton crossbody has lots of wear but still love MK and I'll continue to buy MK .

I currently have 17 Coach bags. 4 Ergos that are vintage or near vintage that I intend to always keep. Others I intend to always keep for sentimental reasons - one small Chelsea that my husband bought me in 2005 when I first started getting into Coach and we first started dating, and a Phoebe that he bought me in 2012 that he picked out himself.

I have bought and sold many, many Coach bags on eBay since 2008 and have had pretty good luck. A few mishaps here and there but nothing that has discouraged me from selling or buying. It has been pretty much a hobby of mine. I don't really make any money and often lose money, but I've got to carry and experience so many nice bags and figure out what I like and don't like in a bag. I've tried to keep to the one in one out rule but now that I am on TPF and I see some older bags that people post I get a little nostalgic as I remember that I had the same bag at one time. I've been a little more reluctant to let some go now because of this.

I usually buy a few bags a year but this last year with Coach coming out with all the glove tanned leather and the leather linings I couldn't help myself and went a bit overboard, hence my growing collection.

What aren't you liking about the top handle Drifter? This is one of the bags I was considering this for my next purchase...

No, it's not that I don't like it... I've just bought too many bags, and the drifter and ace are ones I'm considering to return. BUT, I'm leaning towards returning the ace since it's doesn't wear nicely as a crossbody. The top handle drifter is the best of both worlds, wears nicely as a crossbody and fits tons.

I keep meaning to get mine all in the same place to inventory and make some decisions. Of course I'll have to wait till my husband is out of town.

Yep. Know that feeling. I hate getting the eye rolls.

I slimmed down my collection a lot over the past years. I have 3 Rogues, 4 Swaggers and several SLGs/wallets. I start feeling uncomfortable when the collection nears 10 bags. I find myself using one or two all the time and hate just leaving the others to waste away in my closet.

Me too, except my limit is 15.

I have about 15 bags, 4 wallets, 4-5 wristlets, and 1 keychain. I used to have double the amount in bags, but trimmed my collection down due to non-usage.

Same with me. Too large, too small, too this, too that, so many were just eye candy hanging out in my closet. I finally reined myself in, sold them, figured out a comfortable amount for me and have stuck with it. A new bag comes in and one goes out, so far I've had no problem sticking with it.

Same here. I've not lost much money though. The only ones I lost a bit of money on are some of the bags I bought new and used. Depending on what I paid for them, sometimes I got my money back or even made a few bucks. I don't mind losing a few dollars for getting to use a brand new bag for a while until I'm tired of it......better than selling it at garage sale prices.

I have 12 at the moment, all with the matching wallets. But I gave my sister-in-law 6 of the smaller bags I owned last year or I would have 18. UPS delivered a new bag today and the wallet should be here Wednesday!

I have 15 Coach bags, wristlets, card cases, a cosmetic bag and purse charms. I've sold many and I'm really trying to stay focused on one in-one out, particularly with the handbags. I love SLGs because they bring so much personality to the inside of my bag. I have quite a bit of Coach jewelry, mostly bracelets and necklaces, and a few pairs of shoes.

But I also enjoy carrying Louis Vuitton, have recently acquired a fabulous Roots bag, and I have one Kate
Spade tote. I also have three pieces from the Dooney and Burke Disney collections. Very fun. :love:
