1)How old are you and when did you get your first designer bag?
I was 11 when my mom started buying me designer purses.
2)And what was it?
A cute girly, colorful Dooney & Burke bag for like $200 or something (if you can count that as designer). That was quickly followed by Coach, Kate Spade, Juicy, lots of Burberry (my first at 14) and Louis Vuitton (starting at 15)...
3)How many purses do you have in your collection?
About 25.
4)How many accessories (wallets..etc)?
About 10.
5)What bag are you dying to get next?
Well I just bought a LV Neverfull GM in Damier for school. After that I'm think about the Sac Plat, Palermo or Lockit Vertical. I've decided to wait until I turn 20 (a little over a year from now) to buy a Chanel flap. I dying for one, but I think a bag that cost more than $2000 is a little silly at my age.

I got my first designer bag at 27. A LV damier speedy 30. I started out with accessories and wallets first before reaching bags.

Now I have 11 bags. There was an explosion somewhere between then and now.

Not sure what I want next. But, there was a purple velvet monogram gucci hobo with gold bamboo hoops that I absolutely fell in love with a few years back. Still want it.

I'm 26, my first bag was a LV Pochette when I was 14. I still love LV bags, but I think I use my Kooba bag and Ferragamo wallet the most. I still want a Chanel black caviar flap!

1)How old are you and when did you get your first designer bag?
I was 20, if I remember correctly, now I am 33. It was a gift from my boyfriend.
2)And what was it?
It was something from Longchamp, cannot remember for sure. However, I used to like Longchamp a lot, and did not buy anything else for a long time...
3)How many purses do you have in your collection?
I just sold most of my bags, but currently I have less than twenty bags.
4)How many accessories (wallets..etc)?
One. Or maybe two. I don't care for accessories much. When my wallet starts to fall to pieces, I get a new one.
5)What bag are you dying to get next?
I am not brand-loyal, so I am looking for a practical, quite big leather bag, most preferably in some nice fall colour (purple, orange, red?).

I have 2 designer purses and 3 that I have for everyday use that were relatively inexpensive.
4)How many accessories (wallets..etc)?
I only have 1 wallet, don't tend to buy a lot of accessories.
5)What bag are you dying to get next?
I'm really loving the D&G Patent Leather Lily bag at the moment, I'd love one in a bright shade such as the Mandarin.
