What and how many bags you bought this year?!

[AnnaKar]

Funny thing, I thought I would buy almost none this year (I bought two Mulberrys just December 2012). So, now it's September and I have bought... let's count... five so far and I think I may yet buy one (or two!) more. Well, in my defence, two of my this years purchases are tiny bags (Mulberry mini flower bag and LV Pochette Accessoires) and one otherwise not that expensive (MBMJ).
If I hadn't fallen for LV this year I wouldn't have bought this much, I admit. But now, there may be yet something to come...

I have been bad this summer, but in my defense all but one were pre-loved or on sale - 2 pre-loved Chanels, a medallion tote and an upside down tote, one Balencegia messenger (on sale @ TJ Maxx for $400) and a new Marc Jacobs Single. I am now on a ban until my next birthday ( it's s big one so I am saving for a Chanel classic flap).

I've been a handbag lover for years, but only gotten the serious bug again in the past couple months. It's the mini trend. I've bought an MK Mini Hamilton in Luggage an TB Shrunken Square Tote in Electric Eel.

The one's still left on my list are a DVF Mini 440 and Reed Krakoff Micro Boxer. I'm contemplating a Coach Mini Tanner as well. I've not been allottiing funds for purses, so it's mainly have to have purchases in my future or bargains, otherwise a Celine Nano would be on the list too.

- Coach Madison Juliette in Peony
- Coach laser cut Ashley in orange or coral (i have no idea about the designer shade!)
- Coach Madison Sabrina in gold
- Gucci Diana bamboo tote
- Loewe Amazona 28 in powder pink
- Brahmin Louise Rose Satchel in Toasted Almond
- Prada Bicolor Saffiano bag (I forget thr number just now)
- Toscano snakeskin embossed satchel

... And I think I'm not done yet. Still considering whether I need a Balenciaga or Dooney & Bourke.

Yup, I'm back again.

I sold my Prada Bicolor Saffiano bag to purchase:

- Balenciaga City G21 in Raisin
- Dooney & Bourke mini satchel
- Coach Lizard Madison Sadie
- Proenza Schouler PS1 medium in Plum
- Michael Kors Hamilton saffiano in purple
- Treesje Marmont in black suede

And I think I'm finally done. The Bal bag was the very last one and after getting it, I don't think I want any more. That and the PS1 are the two most awesome handbags that I own!

I just bought ONE bag this year. I am amazed - as considering the amount of time I devote, brainwashing myself on this forum - it is rather remarkable.... I bought it in march and I have been using it as a daily spring / summer bag. Will need a new one for the winter though...

I used to be non-selective about handbags, never paying more than $80 on any of them. Then I noticed I need to buy like 3 bags a year because the quality of those no name bags are so horrible. So this year I decided to get some sturdier bags instead. So far, I've bought:

2 Kate Spade leather hobo (both as presents for my mom because they are not as heavy as other leather bags).
2 COACH (a British Tan Park leather Hobo and a mahogany leather duffle)
1 Cole Haan Village Convertible in black leather
1 Foley+Corinna Kami mini in Oak leather (this "mini" is huge!)
1 MbMJ Too Hot to Handle Satchel in dark teal - very good leather.
1 TUMI Chelsea zip around Continental wallet in black
1 COACH Park leather Accordian zip wallet in black

I'd like to get a Coach Phoebe in dark plume, then I think that will be enough mid-range handbags to last several years.

If I can save up some serious money, I would love to get a Mulberry and a Balenciaga City.

Haven't been back on this thread for some time now and looking back at my two previous posts, I was surely out of my mind then. Since the last post I have only bought a pre-owned Givenchy which was last October, so technically I have not bought a single bag this year!

I've been doing really well this year compared to last year. I bought a shocking 20 bags last year! This year I bought 3, one Givenchy pandora which I returned and the two Balenciagas days which I sold because I realized I didn't need so many bags! And in total I also sold 6 bags!

I've been totally possessed this year haha.

Bought 17 bags Yikes!
11 Balenciagas (6 of which I sold since)
3 Celines (2 of which I sold since)
1 Chanel (sold)
2 Givenchy (both sold)

In total 6 new bags this year I've still kept.

But at the same time sold off 18 bags to fund the purchases which isn't that bad I suppose
SOLD
10 Balenciagas
2 Celines
2 Chanel
4 Givenchy

 

[Love Of My Life]

I love bags.. so when they strike my fancy I look to buy mostly minaudieres

 

[jumika]

ah what a great question

until a year ago i was a happy low end although a bit selective bag lover
then i found purseblog and purseforum
as ladysarah says above, i subjected myself to a daily and utterly enjoyable purse brainwashing

and now only a year later, i own:
- coach willis mini
- prada saffiano mini crossbody
- lv speedy 25 bandouliere
- ferragamo sofia satchel

today i bought two more bags

and the journey is only beginning :sunnies

2 in 2013: The Rebecca Minkoff purseforum satchel (black) and a Coach Bleecker Business tote in Ocean! That one arrives Friday. Can't wait!

I added 3 Coach Penny purses, so 5 total. No more for this year.

Penny Purses are Robin's Egg Blue, Black Studded, and Navy Leather with coral/navy/chambray striped fabric (very resort/nautical ).

Guess I've had a blue bag obsession this year.

Also got a large black faux-saffiano tote from Target for $15. That one shouldn't count. It's a "car-bag".

 

[rainrowan]

1) Frye Deborah goatskin distressed tote, slate
2) Kors Hamilton east/west, black patent
3) LV Noe large monogram, preowned.
4) Kors Jet Set travel tote, brown signature
5) Frye Brooke drawstring, burnt red

My favorites of this year's purchases are my FRYE bags, due to the scrumptious leathers.
I told my dh that the Frye drawstring was my "last purchase of the year".

2 Lady Dior, one in baby blue, another one in coral claire
1 Miss Dior in powder pink
1 Chanel mini 7" square in stripe dark pink
3 Korapin (I keep only one of these coz 2 were meant to give to my brothers as a gift. Now, we have a pack. )
1 PS1 in graphic print
4 Charles and Keith
1 Chanel jumbo
1 Dior Granville tote
1 Miss Dior pouch
1 Prada mini messenger
1 canvas tote

Somehow, the canvas tote is my favorite buy of the year. I love it a lot and practically live in it.
