I would buy a neighboring condo and turn the master bedroom into a bag shrine. (too much effort to move). Have a nice chaise lounge.

Have a rotating display of bags as art. Some on little individual shelves artistically arranged on the wall. Some on pedestals. Some on velvet pillows.

A champagne bar. Hunky masseuse. Chamber music. And a personal shopper to bring me an appropriate and gorgeous outfit to go with the bag I felt like carrying that day to the event in my ever so glamorous life. And of course, a couple of employees to maintain my bags and wardrobe.

I am imagining it to have the vibe of the windows of the Hermes flagship store. Did I forget anything?

The "manage attachments" button is not working for me at the moment, so I will come back provide pics of my fantasy purse shrine later.

See above post. Imagine luxuriating on a chaise lounge with a glass of champagne surrounded by displays like this.

Hermes Birkin
Hermes Kelly
Chanel Surf
Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Brea
Louis Vuitton Monogram Canvas Boetie
Balenciaga City
Balenciaga First
Balenciaga Velo
Mulberry Bayswater
Mulberry Alexa

If I win the lottery worth $10M, I would like to buy some Hermes Birkins and Kellys (because Hermes is still expensive if I win the lottery though) and I would like to buy every color for Balenciaga and Mulberry (I like how Balenciaga and Mulberry have plentiful color selection).

If I were to win the lottery and win 10 million dollars...let's say after taxes, I'd first go to Paris and buy an apartment in the neighborhood that I've stayed in for thirty years. That would be minus a million dollars of the 10 million.

Then, after settling into my new apartment, I'd walk the 30 seconds to the Jerome Dreyfuss boutique and buy two handbags. I'd then walk back to the apartment and drop off those handbags.

I'd go out again and walk 15-minutes over to LV and get an Alma BB in vernis and in the amarante color. And while there, I'd pick up another LV Bisten, hardsided suitcase, but a 70cm one if they're made in that size. The one I've had for nearly twenty-five years is 60cm. Well, I have to get the handbags home somehow,right? Let them travel home in style. LOL!::laugh:

Then I'd walk the 20-minute walk up to the rue Cherche Midi and hit two handbag boutiques there, but only buy one handbag at each boutique. And then I'd head up to Hermes, a 10-minute walk. But, on the way to Hermes, I'd stop for an apple tart at Poilâne bakery.

After having that heavenly apple tart, I'd go around the corner and up the street to Hermes to try to get on the waiting list for a Jypsiere in red crocodile, the one that was featured on Purse Blog last year. I'm not really an Hermes fan, but that bag was beyond gorgeous and a true work of art.

I'd then have a glass of white wine at the Hermes boutique before moving on. By then I'd need one. And after having my glass of white wine, and pinching myself more than a few times, to see if I really even considered purchasing a Jypsiere, I'd walk the 20 minutes over to the rue Madame to the Jamin Puech boutique and pick out one handbag before heading 10 minutes up the street to the Sequoia boutique on rue St.Suplice for one handbag. Then on to Yves St. Laurent, a few steps away from Sequoia, for another handbag.

On the way back to my new apartment, I'd stop by Vanessa Bruno on the rue St. Suplice and pick up one Vanessa Bruno handbag.

After leaving Vanessa Bruno, I'd swing by the resale shop on rue Guisarde, about 5 minutes away, and pick up a gorgeous,vintage Chanel. Then it would be the 10-minute walk back to my apartment to wait for the delivery trucks to arrive, as they deliver in Paris. :D

I guess I'd better go out and buy a lotto ticket tomorrow. LOL! Oh, well, at least it's fun to dream.

I love everything about your dream except that it appears to happen all in one day. If I borrow your dream, mine will be a bag a day followed by celebration with pastries or wine.

Hermes Ostrich Kelly, a huge 40cm one, and a matching wallet.

Not sure what else I'd buy. I'm pretty sure I'd spend the remaining on stuff other than handbags.

I'm in Paris almost annually and that's the way I shop. :smile1: I get up early, have breakfast at my rented apartment, and then make the handbag rounds in my arrondissement of the 6th. I also venture into the 7th to hit Bon Marche department store. Then after my handbag rounds, I go by my regular restaurant and get take-out lunch and take it back to the apartment and eat, rest, watch a little fashion TV, and then plan what arrondissement(s) I will hit next.

On my "real" budget, I jot down the handbags that I'm interested in at the beginning of my stay. Then around 5-7 days later, I start making my purchases. By then I have dropped by other favorite handbag boutiques, in other arrondissements, and have completed my list.

But, on a 10 million dollar budget, I wouldn't need to jot down interested ones as I could just buy them at first sight. :smile1: And since I've been handbag shopping for a very long time in Paris, I basically know what I want and like, and where to find it, therefore it doesn't take me that long to make a decision.

If I won a $10 million lottery, I'd pay off my parent's mortgage, buy them a vacation home and pay for it completely, and buy them a new car and pay for it completely. Then I'd buy myself a new car and a quaint country home with a few horses, pay for it all completely.

Then I'd invest 3/4 of whatever is left. The remaining 1/4 is spent on bags:
Black Chanel Flap
Chloe Marcie
Louis Vuitton Keepall
Louis Vuitton Speedy 35 Damier Ebene
Balenciaga City bags in various colors
Alexander Wang Rocco in beige and luggage, and a Morgan in black
various Marc by Marc Jacobs

but with this kind of money, you can pretty much buy anything you see.

EDIT: also I'd buy a few Bottega Venettas
