I'm 43 and I got my first designer bag when I was 41 - a Fendi Baguette. I collected vintage bags for years before that. I now have 25 designer bags in my collection, mainly baguettes but also a small Fendi 'B', 2 Chanel (probably early 80's), 3 Miu Miu, a Prada, a LV Mono Speedy, a Marc Jacob's 'Stam', a Judith Leiber snakeskin clutch, a Versace evening clutch, A Timmy Wood's 'Eiffel Tower' and I've just ordered a D&G velvet 'Vlada'.

I don't know what to get next - I've fallen for a couple of 'Liberty of London' bags but I'd really like a Chloe Lena brocade that I've seen on Net-a-Porter - no way can I afford it though.
 
:faint:
Wow, I'm blown away by how many people got their 1st design bag as kids, teens or even their 20s. I guess because as a parent, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a bag for a kid, and in the 20s, saving money is a huge priority and I couldn't possibly justify spending more than $40 for a bag. I think I was 32 when I got my first one.
 
1)How old are you and when did you get your first designer bag?
