Lastly, something from the Lightweights line. My favorite is soft satchel #4055. She isn't very photogenic but she is gorgeous IRL.

want one of these!!!

and this is going to be a HARD CHOICE... I don't have time today to go dig for all my favorites... and just five ..sigh. :sweatdrop: At least I am not allowed to include the Cashins since that would have made it even harder LOL.
 
TDF!!! and bag twins on the little coin purse! I am about to receive a red Berkeley reverse suede drawstring bag...SO EXCITED. This saddle bag is on my hunt list tho'.
I wish they had made more colors of the Berkeley bags so I could justify having more! I can hardly wait to see your drawstring! I'm in search of a drawstring bag, but I can't decide which one I want.

Since Hyacinth mentioned Sheridan, this is my favorite Sheridan bag. The color of this bag is gorgeous and it is a great size. It has a long detachable strap too. Oops, I almost forgot to mention her name: Roswell domed satchel #4228. These bags are waterproof!

That leather is GORGEOUS! The colors are soooo rich!
 
Ok, I can't totally narrow it down, but my top 5 are in the first photo except I changed my mind later and I put my amended item photos below... and then I'll discuss bag "family" faves
as well.

First the group shot of my initial top 5 LOL (top row then bottom)

1) Musette and the bags in that family (Swag, Carrier, Pony Express) are truly my LOVES.

2) My favorite bag in the Berkeley family , reverse suede, is the Field Bag (I have a drawstring bag coming so who knows where that will fit in the fave list LOL)

3) My go to bags have been and always will be the Willis Family (including the City bag pic'd) I have several of each style/color that I switch into. Still looking for a red.

4) I have the Beaumont pic'd here, I love her, but realized later I probably would have placed the Sheridan Sheffield Bucket in that spot if I were to do a re-shoot. tough choice. Sheridan is below

5) I have the Stewardess pic'd and I own 4 of these and I think it is a TRUE MUST HAVE CLASSIC. However it's a tie -in my heart- with Bonnie Skinny Tote below which was made technically POST Bonnie but I wasn't sure if I should put the slim tote in this group so I didn't.

So, here's Sheffield Bucket which is my all weather go to favorite:

Just for your photo reference I'll also show you a bag I love from the Madison Line which is one of the larger bags made by Madison since most of those bags were just too small for me tho' I love that leather!!

Sorry, I kind of cheated. but I don't think I have just 5 faves. I could have added even more to this easily

Is that a Copley? It is gorgeous!
 
I had trouble narrowing it down to five, so I decided to do it by group too!
First of all, I think you should have one really unique colorful bag. For me, this is style 2111. I never found out her name! I think she might be remake of a Cashin design.

Wow, I LOVE this one!

If you love suede, you need something from the Berkeley line. My favorite is the saddle bag #9014.

I was admiring Jessi319's Berkley field bag on another post, and now I think I must have a Berkley. Adding it to my wish list!

I rather enjoyed the cheating Jessi ;) - thanks for posting! I adore the Copley! I had a Madison Gracie and loved the quality, but it was just too small.

Thank you!

When I got my Madison Biltmore, I originally thought she was a Gracie. Now I'm so glad she wasn't. The Biltmore isn't huge, but it holds a full size wallet. It is close in size to new Willis.
 
Mine are all larger bags with cross-body straps, and I already own all of them:

original Rambler Bag #9735

at least one Willis, #9927

Patricia's Legacy, #9951

at least one Sheridan or Dakota

at least one Sonoma Flap, either the Natural #4903 or the Nubuc, #4935

Hyacinth, I thought for sure a Stewardess would be on your list!
