I doubt I'll ever be purse satisfied. I'm always adding and removing items from my collection. I feel I have too many but I can't decide which ones I can bear to let go.

Sometimes I think I'm satisfied with my Coach collection and then something gorgeous like the Rogues comes out and it's clear I'm not satisfied and not finished buying!
I also have a couple of older bags and some new ones (including the Soho crossbody with tearose strap I bought today). I am continuing to refine my collection through selling a some bags that have fallen out of favour and being even more selective and thoughtful on adding anything new.
So I'm not quite finished yet. I think I'd like to do a custom Rogue and then see how I feel.
I think I understand what you mean. For me, being satisfied is keeping and enjoying what I have at the moment. Maybe I will want to add more to my Coach collection in the future. However, right now I'm happy that all of them go into regular rotation and I feel happy carrying them.
I suppose for us purse lovers in general, satisfaction is only temporary?
Thank you for your reply! I guess we are have that need to fine tune our collections and there is so much beautiful bags out there it makes it difficult to be satisfied.
I would say in general, I haven't yet met that sweet spot in the number of bags I have may they be Coach bags or LVs. I want to have a diversity in my bag collection instead of ONLY ONE brand.
But for now, I don't really see a lot of new designs from Coach that I really want to take home. The Rogue is beautiful but unfortunately, it just doesn't work for me. I enjoy it on other people instead.
For me there's a few more bags I'd like to add to my collection but I'm really pacing myself. I've found myself before buying too quickly and not taking the time to enjoy them properly. So if I ever acquire my bags of interest, that's great but I'll not be troubled if I do not.Thank you for your reply!

I really understand you on this wanting to pace yourself. I'm like that, too, where I want to enjoy my bags for an indefinite amount of time before getting a new one.
I haven't been participating so much in the other forums as it is so easy for me to be influenced by all the reveals of new bags and the new models the premium designers/contemporary designers are coming out.
My ideal bag collection for me to be satisfied would be like this:
3 Coach
3 LV
3 Hermés
I know that's really a strict number but I know those bags would be the ones I love very much!
I think it's wonderful you know exactly how many would be perfect for you. I don't have the strength to hold myself to 9! I'm going to have around 24 bags when all's said and done.
It's taken me a long time to learn that I can "love" a bag without having to own it.
My closet has too many bags in it that never see the light of day.

I feel this way too. I would like to get down to 15 bags, maximum. I love some of them, but I just don't use them all. I'd rather they go to someone who will use and love them.
I saw that too back in the beginning of Summer! I went back to see and sure enough, it's still there!

I have to repeat to myself: it's beautiful but you cannot use it in your daily routine. I am, a reach my hand down and dig into the bag kind of girl who loves the look of flap open bags. I really love my new Brahmin and am in denial that I hate grocery shopping or any shopping with it because it's difficult to handle when I'm ready to pay...

I think the ideal number is different per person. I just want to be able to own a few bags that I will love and are also in my regular bag rotation.
I had to give up 4 Coach purses simply because I haven't worn them in at least 2-3 years. The ones I gave up were not my style anymore and they all went to people who appreciate them.
Currently I feel that my Coach collection is perfect since I have 3 purses that are classic shapes and color that I can carry to work and if I feel that they need to be spiced up, I tie a Twilly to their handles or add a pompom bag charm. I have 3 small ones that I carry on weekends to run errands or go on adventures with. I do have some super favorites that frequently come out (Dinky, Nolita, and Willis). I might cull my collection again so that I can add more premiere designer bags since that is my goal for my collection--but that's not happening soon. I want to totally enjoy what I have before adding a new bag to my collection.
Sorry for the long reply, I just love to type a lot.
Can you forward me the tutorial on this please?
I have been indulging myself over the last year in low and moderately priced vintage that I could not afford back in the day. I sorta feel like I have made all these trips to the sample everything on the dessert buffet. And it's time to exercise a little restraint. Coach sugar rush
