1) I'm 51 and got my first designer bag when I was about 31.

2) It is a LV Large Randonnee, which I still have. I had bought a Coach a couple years earlier, but Coach was not considered designer back then. It is still sold in the 'classic' section of the website- it is the small rectangular bag convertible bag with a detachable strap, and the zipper pull has a clutch strap on it. I love that bag, but it became too small for my accumulated purse junk.

3) I have 40+ in my collection, not all designer

4) I have 1 LV wallet, and one LV credit card holder.

5) Actually, I am satiated for the moment, LOL.
