If you could only have 4 bags - which ones would you choose?

From my current collection:
Balenciaga Classic Envelope Clutch in Mangu
LV Mini Riberia bag in Damier Ebene
LV Alma BB in vernis leather color Pomme d'Amor
Fendi Mini By The Way bag in Dove

Any bags (even ones that I don't own):
I would keep my collection above mostly intact and switch out the Balenciaga clutch for a Fendi Peekaboo. That was a hard decision because I love all the bags listed above but I really want a Peekaboo.
 
Hmmm... this is hard. I honestly don't think I can do just 4. But if I had to pick

From my collection
• Chanel jumbo classic flap in black patent
• Chanel medium classic flap in grey lamb
• Jimmy Choo biker bag in metallic silver
• Miss Dior Sliding Chain in cobalt blue.

This assortment would really frustrate me though because I wouldn't have room for workhorse bags, evening / date night bags or even just fun bags.

This question is impossible & just makes my head hurt so I can't even go there but reading your reply Sparkle, I'm so glad you picked your med grey lamb CF because it's totally 1 of my very favorites of yours, & probably in the handbag universe!!!!:heart::flowers:

from my own collection:
Mulberry black regular alexa
YSL black large woc
Balenciaga gris fossile city
Fendi red petite 2jours

on my wishlist:
Dior small blue diorama
Hermes black kelly 28
Chanel chevron black caviar m/l classic flap
Celine box bag in nude color
 
My favourite 4 bags at the moment in order :
1. Hermes kelly 28 (owned)
2. Hermes jypsiere 28 (owned)
3. Hermes lindy 30 (owned )
4. Hermes bolide 31 (hesitating to pull the trigger cos similar of use to kelly and jypsiere 28.
 
From my current collection:
Hermès Kelly 28 black
Hermès Kelly 28 gold
Hermès Birkin 35 Barenia (Fauve)
Hermès Birkin 35 black

....it would be really boring and I would have nothing to carry in evenings, but I would have a bag for everything else!

If I were to choose 4 bags I don't own, maybe I'd downsize one Birkin to a 30, but otherwise, there's a reason I keep my collection really small.
 
From my collection:

Celine medium box in kohl

Fendi mini Peekaboo in dove grey

Fendi small tricolour By The Way powder blue

Céline Cabas with belt kohl

As a Céline & Fendi fan there isn't anything I want that I don't already have thankfully
 
From my current/wishlist collection, I would be fine having these 4 in my collection:

  1. Chanel jumbo in caviar leather (own) - night outs
  2. Louis Vuitton DE neverfull (own) - everyday errands
  3. Hermes birkin 30 (wish)
  4. Givenchy antigona medium (own) - travel/work
 
From Current Collection:
1. Chanel Jumbo Caviar SHW
2. Balenciaga City Gris Poivre G21 RGHW
3. LV Neverfull Mono GM
4. Fendi Demi Jour in red

My Ideal Collection:
1. Hermes Lindy 30 - blue or taupe colours
2. Chanel Reissue 226 in Black GHW
3. Celine Nano in Citron
4. LV Capucines in Black

p.s. i don't consider WOC a bag :p
 
Out of my current collection, I think I would choose Mulberry Midnight Daria hobo, DvF Voyage tote, burgundy Coccinelle crossbody that converts into a gorgeous clutch and Pacsafe CS350 backpack.
 
I would choose four bags that suit a particular purpose:
1. Louis Vuitton Speedy 40B (my workhorse multipurpose throw it through the ringer and back bag)
2. Saint Laurent Black Croc Embossed document holder (elegant, minimalist black pouch for errands)
3. Louis Vuitton Navy Blue (don't know its official color name) Porte Document Voyage PM (for work purposes. Discreet, yet luxurious and in a subtle color that is work appropriate).
4. Hermes Birkin 40 Black Togo GHW (that casual tote than can also double up as a formal bag and also one that is also carefree, yet still is sophisticated).

I have the first two items in my collection. Going to purchase the third one in about a year or so and then the last one - if I find a great deal preloved, I will snap it up!
