I'm 30 and got my first 'designer' purse at 24.
It was a Furla that my husband gave me as a wedding gift!
I have around 20 purses from Cole Haan, Furla, Coach, Hayden Harnett, Kate Spade and Marc by Marc Jacobs. I also have a few Longchamps but do they count?!
I have around the same number of wallets, from the same designers.
My next purchase will be a HH Ibiza, in all honesty I am dying to get another Cole Haan that is on sale that I missed out on before but guilt stops me! And the ultimate purse for me would be an LV Speedy but that's a long way off for me.

1-32 and got my first when I was 24, I believe
2-Kate Spade Quilted Noel
3-I have never counted, but at this point I would say at least 50
4-Only a few really nice ones, maybe 10 or so, I try to switch them out and make them last so I can spend on the bags
5-trying to be good, but I would love a Kooba or another L.A.M.B....oh and a Burberry...I just never seem to buy one when the mood strikes and then I end up not being a fan of the next season's styles
