Hello handbag friends! Recently, I have been working on "resetting" my bag collection - moving from a larger collection of mid-tier pieces (mostly purchased during a prior phase of life, when I was younger, on a tighter budget, no kids, rougher on things) to a smaller, curated collection of nicer staples. I have been thinking about what a small perfect collection would be, and I thought that the posters here could provide some inspiration. If you could only have a minimum number of bags (say, under 10), what would you have? I would love to see pictures as well!
Here's my list:
1. A nice, medium-sized everyday bag for work and daytime outings. For me, a Chloe Marcie satchel would fill this spot.
2. A decent-looking but tough tote for errands, kid activities, etc. My MZ Wallace Medium Sutton is perfect for this.
3. A fancy (but not too fancy!) shoulder/crossbody bag for going out to dinner or drinks. I'm still looking for the perfect bag to fill this! Preferably not black - maybe a nice blue? I don't love wearing black in the summer or with certain colors. I have learned from experience that I like a bag that isn't too mini - 8x10 size or slightly more is perfect.
4. A fun party clutch. I have a quilted blue Rebecca Minkoff that works well but would like to invest in something nicer someday. A good, saturated color is a must!
This doesn't include totes for shlepping children's things or travel bags, of course.
What would you pick?!
