I'm 52 and I bought my first Coach at 23. I still have it. I bought my first Chanel bag when I was 24, and still have that, too.

Hmmm... do I have to count them? Lots. Not all designer bags, though, as I'm fond of buying bags at art festivals and when traveling.

I have a wallet fetish, so have 18 wallets, ranging from BVs and Bals to handmade ones from Bolivia and local crafters.

I'm stalking a BV ebano Veneta.

I'm almost 22 and I was 19 when I got my first ever designer bag back in 2005: a choc chloe paddington, which I later gave to my mother because I actually wanted the tan one.
Now I have:
-black Prada logo flap bag f/w 2005
-camel woven McQueen novak medium s/s2006
-black Fendi spy s/s2006
-grape large McQueen novak f/w 2006
-Miu Miu buffalo stone bag, not sure what season, bought s/s 2007
-Prada Ombre glace zippers bag f/w 2008

accessories:
-Bottega Veneta bracelet
-Mulberry mini leather bayswater keyholder
-Prada trick robot
-Prada Hook robot
-Prada watch
-and a whole lot more, esp. shoes and clothes

And my next bag will probably be any mulberry, since there's a big mulberry box sitting in my parent's bedroom waiting for me to open on my birthday (june 15th)
And any other bay I'll buy in the next month or so depends on what is available here in the Netherlands and what is in the sale (I've been lusting over a python Miu Miu coffer for a while now, but it's still too expensive)
 
1)Almost 22 and 19 (I do not count bags given to me as I did not buy them with money I earned- they are "borrowed wealth" ,lol)
2)Dooney
3)8 (I tend to sell ones I use the least when I want a new one)
4) 1 wallet right now- and a couple pair of designer eyeglasses and shades
5) I am wanting an LV Galliera PM
