Yes. Poor Miss Pickle is hiding in its dustbag since January. [emoji85]

I have the LV Speedy and Longchamp LE Pliage in different colors and sizes.
I have bags similar in style to my Neverfull in different materials and sizes as well.

You guys are sucking me into the mindset of having multiple colors in the same model! I never would have considered doing so before.
Don't get sucked in my friend! It's one of those tPF rabbit holes. I knew that a lot of people in this rarified community did have this particular quirk in their collections and thought it would be interesting and fun to explore, but I don't think it's the norm! If it hasn't occurred to you before, then chances are you prefer more variety, or you simply just don't have a need for 2 of the same bag, regardless of color. Just think of this thread as eye candy!
I'm trying! But the logic has already planted seed and taken root in my fertile little brain!
Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think I want to get a second of any bag I currently have but man the bags I'm currently waiting for are so epic in my mind that I imagine that it won't be enough to have them in just the one color! Reality may prove otherwise however. Time will tell!

I agree with this, although I do feel the need to and did buy the same bag in different colours as soon as I find a style that works for me. Having the same bag over and over again is not the norm outside of tpf.

I think my mom might do this - mind you, she buys very practical nylon Baggalini purses, but when she finds one she likes, she'll get it in black + a bright color.
The only reason this mindset can be dangerous for me is because, normally, when looking at a purse, especially an expensive purse, I would, you know, CHOOSE a color. The "well, why don't I just get both?" mentality is a recipe for too many bags, but BOY it's really hard to break once you go there.
Just one other perspective. I actually do the opposite when I get a bag of another color and it helps control my bag buying.
I never see a bag I love and then choose to buy multiples. I start with identifying a bag "need" (color, size and usage). Then I buy the best bag for me that meets that need. Sometimes it's a bag I already have and love in another color because obviously that bag works for me. LOL! So in that way I limit my bags to what I've identified I need and I greatly reduce the chance of having bags in my collection that I don't wear / like because I already know that brand and style.
I have quite a few multiples and I actually do this for clothes and shoes as well. If it works, it works!
But I have learnt a few things about myself in the process. Firstly, I shouldn't buy multiples _until_ I have used the bag and know that the bag really works for you. Spacing it out prevents making mistakes in multiples
Secondly, there's a diminishing returns on happiness for me. I am happiest with two (typically one black and one color), and I can't handle more than three at any one time.
Everyone is different and I love to hear about all your collections!
