I switch bags daily. I try to match the bag to the clothes I'm wearing but I always consider what I need to carry each day and where I'm going to (if I have to attend class I usually opt for larger bags that can fit all my stuff, if I'm running errands I carry smaller shoulder bags etc.). I also take the weather into consideration and prefer larger bags on rainy days because they can fit my umbrella. On a night out I carry either smaller shoulder bags or clutches that can fit my wallet, keys and cellphone.
How often do you change bags?

I switch my bags on the average about 2 to 3 days, usually based on my outfits, the occasion and my mood for the day.
Like the title suggests, I am wondering how frequently you all switch out your purses? It seems like all the fashionistas I follow on Instagram change their bags every single day to coordinate with their outfits. While this makes for great photos, I have found it is not exactly practical! I, for one, can't be bothered to switch my every day bags more than once every couple weeks, unless it is a special occasion and I need a smaller clutch/cross body.
I switch it out every 3-5 days. I don't carry a lot of things so it's easy to just throw them from one bag to the other. The only annoying thing is I store my bags meticulously (especially my Chanel flaps) so to undo and redo them is a pain.
I am far from a fashionista, but I switch my bags (and sometimes my card holder) pretty much every day. I like to use all my bags as often as possible. I don't carry much and keep everything in pouches, so switching bags is super easy. I find that switching bags to match my outfit is often easier than picking an outfit to match the same bag I used the previous day. Agreed with the above...the most time consuming part is properly storing them after each use.
I have a lot of bags and try to use them all on a regular basis, so I usually switch every couple of days. A bag insert, like the Hermès fourbi, makes it super easy. But I agree with the other posters that putting away my bags (stuffing them, back in dustbags, back in boxes) in a pain. Still, if I don't switch things up I tend to get bored
I use my bags on a 1-month basis typically. One bag only comes out for the month of June, for instance and then goes back in the closet until the next year.
Maybe I should start using bag inserts! I carry a ton of stuff, so switching bags is always a hassle for that reason alone. And I am impressed with how meticulous you ladies are storing your bags. I really should be more diligent with this, but like you all said it just takes so much time. If I have a few bags that I am switching off between, then I usually just leave a group of them out of my closet in easy reach, what my family has affectionately begun to call "couture corner" haha. But I really should be storing my bags properly...
I change my bag every day to accent my outfit. Because I love my handbags so much, many times, my desire to wear a certain bag can influence what I wear on a given day. It only takes me 3 minutes to move everything from one bag to another so it's no hassle. I usually do it when I'm setting my clothes out the night before.
And I also am meticulous in storing my bags but again, it doesn't take that long. I check the bag for any stains, scratches, etc., wipe it down with a soft cloth, stuff and store. I don't moisturize my bags every time I wear them. Instead I do then at once on a regular basis (2x a year). I have fewer than 25 bags so that is an easy thing to do as well.
