Thanks so much! Barenia HAC...never would have thought of that. That's a great choice for a tough, knock-around bag. Also like your idea of the Oxer for travel. Different and very attractive! Would love to have an Egee box in white...

Thank you! I hope this thread is inspiring others as much as it is me. It's helpful to see how a collection might work together to fill a woman's (or man's) bag needs. I like how your choices work together. I sold my bags recently because I felt I had too many bags taking up too much space, and still holes. Too many clothes but nothing to wear. :rolleyes:

Can't take credit for the Barenia HAC suggestion as it originated from @periogirl28! ;) And interesting that you'd love an Egee in white... so.brave! :wtf:

Love #3 [emoji1] Use a big Land's End canvas bag for the beach, nothing leather.

Would also suggest a mini Halzan for #6 if you need a tad bit more room. Otherwise, I totally agree with your sister in law's list, especially #10!

Awesome.
#6 Ooh, purple! That would be a great color for F/W. Would go with literally everything- black, brown, gray, taupe, navy, red, cream. Yum.
