1)How old are you and when did you get your first designer bag?
I'm 40 and it depends on your definition of designer. I have had Coach bags since high school, but I didn't expand into other brands until I was about 35.
2)And what was it?
Marc Jacobs Blake and Mulberry Emmy (both long gone)
3)How many purses do you have in your collection?
I keep my collection at about 12 not counting clutches. This is not an easy task!
4)How many accessories (wallets..etc)?
Three wallets, but I only use my LV Damier wallet. Then I keep another LV Damier pochette type bag (can't remember the name) in my bag for football games, parks, or anywhere that I would just want to take my Blackberry, lip gloss and money.
5)What bag are you dying to get next?
I'm really happy with my collection right now, but the one thing I am lacking is a small black Chanel something.
 
1)How old are you and when did you get your first designer bag? I am currently 23(just graduated from USC) and I got my first designer bag when I was 15...And I don't count Coach as designer

2)And what was it? It was two LV Rainbow Murakami monogram pochettes(black one and white one..gifts from my older sister who loves designer bags.

3)How many purses do you have in your collection? Currently, 20(all LV, Dior, Chanel). I started with LV and Dior, moved on to Chanel, and my friend says I will be onto Hermes when I'm 27

4)How many accessories (wallets..etc)? Probably only 12..not big on small accessories...eh..about a few LV card holders and a few Dior wallets...(but lots of Gucci glasses, Dior Sunglasses).

5)What bag are you dying to get next? I already am getting a Chanel Violet Jumbo, a Chanel M/L Rose Fonce, and a Chanel Mango Jumbo. The next bag I am dying to get is pretty easy to find, a Chanel Jumbo in Red Caviar with Gold Hardware. It comes out every year or so. Once I have my Chanel Mango and then my Chanel Red, I will be toting around USC Trojan colors!!
