So I had to add 1 more...LV Montaigne GM in Iris (this has got be the perfect blue). Now I'm done for the year.

Balenciaga 09 Lilac City
Balenciaga Men's Day
Vintage Bally quilted flap
Marc by Marc Jacobs Too Hot to Handle Tote
Rebecca Minkoff Nikki (sold after I purchased the Day)
Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip Mini
Vintage YSL from the Arabesque collection (thrifted and later got authenticated - yay!)
Vintage Louis Vuitton monogram Noe
Plus another vintage Bally and Moschino I've posted on another thread.
This year was clearly an obsessive year because I fell in love with vintage, which isn't too bad because most vintage bags don't break the bank. All of my bags were also purchased preloved and were incredible deals - I just did a quick calculation and I paid just slightly over USD$1000 for all of the above. It was also super fun because I've done so much research and learned A TON about authenticating due to buying preloved. Well, my boyfriend would say it's a complete waste of time because, well, what are we going to do with all that purse knowledge; but as I always say, he just doesn't get it! LOL
Just got a promotion at work, so am eyeing one last purchase for this year as a little reward for myself - a vintage Chanel Diana in cream (cream! Exciting and terrifying at the same time). But it will have to depend on the size of my bonus and whether I can bring myself to bite the bullet (or if someone beats me to the punch!)

When I bought my Chanel Jumbo (my HG bag) and WOC last year I thought I was done for a while. Boy was I wrong! Why oh why are handbags so addictive?? I still have two bags on my wishlist, the Celine Phantom and the YSL WOC (black hardware on black leather). Let's see if I can hold of until next year to purchase them...

This was a VEEEEERY unusual year for me. As I've posted elsewhere on TPF, I overhauled my entire wardrobe selling off or donating 80+% of what was in my closet from shoes to scarves to coats. I'm beyond thrilled with my new wardrobe.
I only ended up keeping 9 of my original bags of which I had 50-60. (I don't "count" formal / evening bags because they are necessary evils and I don't spend "real money" on them.)
To that end, here is the damage I did in handbag acquisition. I'm only listing bags I kept. There were others I bought and either returned or sold.
Badgley Mishka Jane Crossbody in white saffiano w/ GHW
Celine Edge in python and black leather
Chanel Jumbo Classic Flap in black patent leather w/SHW
Chanel Medium Classic Flap in gray pearlized lambskin
Chanel Small Ultimate Soft in black lambskin SHW
Dooney & Bourke Alto Evelina Tote in tangerine leather
Dooney & Bourke Small Florentine Satchel in beige leather
Fossil Sydney Wristlet in gold leather
Gucci Soho Small Shoulder Bag in red leather
Gucci Mini Soho Crossbody in black patent
Gucci Soho Shoulder Bag in teal nubuck
Jimmy Choo Biker Bag in silver metallic suede
Kate Spade Saturday Mini Satchel in electric blue leather
Miu Miu Malatasse Tote in silver lambskin
Prada Dome Satchel in black calf leather
Prada Double Zip Tote in fuoco (red) saffiano
Prada Jute Tote w/ metallic python trim
Proenza Schouler Small Courier Bag in silver leather
YSL Easy Bag in gray animal print pony hair
I have three more bags on my radar - a Chanel boy (still debating on color), a leopard print satchel and a burgundy leather satchel. But, I'm going to take a pause and enjoy what I have...and recover from shopping mania!
I love every one of these bags! I've had fun researching, haunting TPB & TPF, hunting deals and finally taking my babies home. And, I literally plan my outfits around the bag I want to wear! LOL! I know I picked well for me because I fall in love again with each bag every time I wear it.
Going forward, I'm holding myself to 1-2 bags a year: one for spring / summer and one for fall / winter. I want to keep my collection at 30 bags or less so I wear all of them since I love them!!!! 😊
