My first purse was a small Coach bag during 6th grade. I remember feeling so grown up because it was literally my first handbag ever. I think I was at that age when I really wanted to feel "mature" and be more like Mommy.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure my mom got the idea to get me a purse because I had just gotten my first period, and she wanted to make sure I had a pad on me when it was nearing that time of month. :sunnies

I'm not sure how many purses I have right now because about half of them are in my current location and the other half in my previous location.

I think I have about 4 designer accessories, but I only regularly use my Gucci wallet and my Tory Burch cosmetics bag.

And... I'm not sure what my next bag purchase will be! There's nothing I'm dying to have right now. I only regularly use ~4-5 of my purses atm, so I'm thinking I should list the others on ebay before making more purchases.

Funny story I was like six or seven when my mother and first grade teacher Mrs. Dice had a long discussion about my little purse. Mrs. Dice told my mom toys were not allowed in class. My mom says no no you do not understand That purse is part of her wardrobe. You tell her she has to leave it at home see how that works for you. So no designer purse but I have been purse lover for a very long time!


Be Blessed MoNikki

I always loved fashion. My mother got me my first purse at two years old. It was a small black leather shoulder bag with some pleating. I loved it. I have a lot of pictures of me posing with the bag. The purse went everywhere with me. That bag started my love for handbags. I will always have a nice handbag; it's just who I am. I got my first designer bag at 15. It was a Dooney & Burke drawstring bag. The purse was given to me by my parents as a birthday gift. I have five purses in my collection that I use daily. I plan to buy two more bags and then upgrade my wallet and cosmetic pouch.

I quite fancy a Mulberry Baywaters in the pebbled leather, but know it is slightly pointless having recently bought a Birkin. I would also love a Balenciaga.

1)How old are you and when did you get your first designer bag?
Currently 20, and my first designer bag I got when I was... either 13 or 19, depending how you look at it.

2)And what was it?
At 13, I was gifted a Louis Vuitton multicolour thing (I think it may have been some kind of pochette). I never really liked the multicolour though, so it sat in a corner in my wardrobe for years.
At 18, I got into handbags again, and after a bunch of vintage designers (most of which I can't find now), I was given a Jerome Dreyfuss Johan for my 19th birthday.

3)How many purses do you have in your collection?
Currently 6 - black Balenciaga city, taupe Céline phantom, an older Céline boston (I believe it was pre-Phoebe?), the black Jerome Dreyfuss Johan, a snake-embossed APC Demi Lune, and a vintage Lancel.

4)How many accessories (wallets..etc)?
5 - A Commes des Garçons wallet, a Prada envelope wallet thing, 2 LV cles (one monogram, one preloved Suhali), and a Margiela keyfob

5)What bag are you dying to get next?
Probably my first Chanel - a chevron Boy?
