This sounds fun! I'll give this a try. I am also in the process of building my capsule collection.
1. A capacious bag for travel
Garden Party in Negonda Leather so that it's lighter - I would use a fancier purse but I get too stressed out so just a Garden Party then.
2. A structured dressy day bag to wear with a suit. Think funeral, or meeting with my banker or attorney (similar experiences
)
Kelly 28/32 Sellier or a Bolide 31.
3. A beach bag:
Garden Party in Canvas/Toile
4. A large day handbag for Fall/Winter:
B30 in togo or clemence. Any color, I don't mind wearing a bright blue or orange in the winter. I think it makes my day brighter.
5. A large day handbag for Spring/Summer:
Lindy 30 in a pop of color in clemence. Looks more casual. B30 still works for this so #4 and #5 can be just 1 purse.
6. A small-medium bag for Fall/Winter for touring or walking all day. Could be shoulder or handbag:
Mini roulis (this is my next target, I NEED a roulis!)
7. A small handbag for Spring/Summer for touring or walking all day:
Kelly 28/32 or a Bolide 27/31 in a pop of color.
8. A tough bag to take to horse shows to hold a blanket, thermos, etc. that can handle getting dirty:
Same as #1
9/10. Two dressy minaudieres or clutches that will work for evening gowns or flow-y palazzo pants, perhaps one for Fall/Winter, one for Spring/Summer:
An Egee or a Jige, although I'm more biased with the Jige. I'll even use a mini roulis for this.

I couldn't do just Hermes so my collection consists of Hermes and Chanel. This is how I chose my bags http://www.********.com/no-more-than-10-bags/

Great list. Mini Roulis is so attractive! The organization inside would be very practical too. Like your idea of a pop Bolide 27 for 7. Bolide gets so serious sometimes. I'm not used to seeing her lighten up.

3. A beach bag: Huge Herbag *or* Canvas/denim Garden Party *or* Double Sens

6. A small-medium bag for Fall/Winter for touring or walking all day. Could be shoulder or handbag: Jypsiere in a dark color
7. A small handbag for Spring/Summer for touring or walking all day: Berline

9/10. Two dressy minaudieres or clutches that will work for evening gowns or flow-y palazzo pants, perhaps one for Fall/Winter, one for Spring/Summer: Kelly Pochette in exotic leather in your fave color w/GHW

Hope it helps you
This thread may help me organize what I have already collected, and allow me to see what is balanced/unbalanced in terms of my needs. I often buy what I like instead of thinking about whether it fits into my collection and/or life. I may be able to see what can be culled. How many black bags can or should I have in my closets. The same goes for my scarf collection. Food for thought. Thanks.
Good plan!
Like you commented, I also buy what I like
So I probably have a reason for my purchase and can find a use
Limits for me means wear what I have!
