I switch bags almost everyday unless it is raining. I'm really loyal to Coach, but I do own and wear other brands.
I switch constantly. No loyalty to one handbag. They are all my babies and I love them all equally. It all depends on mood and colour choice. I have been giving away all of my bags that I am not dedicated to, so my collection as it is now is pretty consistent with what I do everyday. I don't own a "special day" handbag and don't feel the need for one at this time.
Not all that often, more seasonally than anything else i switch more often into SLG like wristlets etc. I definitely use other brands.
About every three to four days. And I used to be fairly loyal to Coach, but over the years I have branched out well into other brands.
Depends, occasionally multiple times a day. Coach constitutes fewer than 1/3 of my bags, so there are a lot of other brands I wear frequently.
Almost every day! Different brands and styles for different activities and weather conditions.
I generally switch once a month. First, because that’s all I have time to deal with and second, it keeps me from hoarding bags. I need 12 to get through a year and if I go over that, one needs to be sold to justify the new bag. A bonus of that is that it also helps justify upgrading each one over time. For example, I sold a MFF Bennett when I got a Rogue in a similar color. This doesn’t include clutches though, which I match to whatever evening attire I’m wearing it with.
I switch every 2 wks. I have a different wallet for each bag, which is why I don't switch more often. Sometimes I may switch sooner if I really want a specific bag for something. Said I was done buying bags as I have enough at my age now, but just got that signature Parker in peony with tea rose turnlock. I really need more willpower. There aren't any I would sell.
I switch every 2 weeks because I have a lot to rotate around, but I have seriously contemplated your method a few times. I think one bag per month *should* be more than sufficient... I just have to get down to 12. I've been mulling your method over for a few months now, and trying to gather strength to achieve it... good for you!
The key thing is to have the right 12 bags. In my case, that’s no doubling up on colors and making sure I have enough different colors/styles to cover all the seasons. It’s worked for me for a few years now. Good luck if you try it.
Good method! If I could stay at 12 bags, I'd probably do like you do. But I do fluctuate up to 15 or even 16 bags at times. Plus, because of stuff that I have to carry sometimes when I go see my mother, I can't comfortably use my medium bags like the whiplash saddle bag, I need a tote. So going to see her every few days has me changing more often than I like. ( I hate carrying two bags so that method wouldn't work for me. )
