How many purses do you own? Do you have a favorite?

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I have about a dozen purses, I think. I cleared a lot of them out when I started buying Vera Bradley bags a couple of years ago. My favorite bag depends on my mood, but it's usually a Vera Bradley one. I guess my favorite is the VB Mesa Red On the Go bag. It's got just the right amount of pockets in just the right places and is a good size bag.

Now, if we were talking about tote bags, that's a whole different story. I probably own 30 tote bags. I seem to collect them!!!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I own about 8 of them...
My favorite is the one I'm currently carrying.. it's a brown leather one that my DS12 found for me when I was searching for a new one... He has a great eye for finding what I want. It also came w/ a mini-to-go clutch so I can just snatch it if I'm going on a quick errand.

I am a purse fanatic, freak, snob. I have a ton of them ranging in price and size. I just told my SIL yesterday that I haven't met a bag I didn't like. I tend to spend a lot on my purses but I use them for awhile before I get a new one and I rotate them throughout the year. It's about time for me to buy a new one. Not only do I love purses, but travel bags, overnight bags, backpacks- I love them all!!!! And I have passed this love of purses and bags on to DD! DH just !

I have 3.
I just bought a new one yesterday. I am so not a purse person, I hate carrying more then a charge card and my drivers license. I have a really really small tinkerbell purse that I bought at Walmart, a green canvas purse that is worn out, and I just bought the leather saddle purse made by Chaps at Kohls. Today is the first day I'm taking it out so I'll let you know how it goes.

It is the first time I have ever spent over $10 on a purse. LOL And I'm still ticked about it. And I got it 1/2 off too!

I have no idea how many I have. I'm a collector. My everyday is a Vera, Betsy in Mod Floral Pink. I have a pattern for the same style, and some really cute quilted fabrics to make myself a few others.

I also use a big Vera tote for work and conventions, Picadilly Plum. They call me the bag lady at work

I LOVE Mod Floral Pink! The next Vera bag I get I want it in this color.

I currently have two that I use.
One white with silver mickey heads all over it and single big silver Mickey head with bling in a corner.
I also have one black Baggallini that my bestest coffee clutch friend gave me for my birthday to use at Disney.

I have three or four collecting dust in the bottom of my closet that MIL got me. They are very nice, but also very worn. Straps coming off, snaps don't work anymore, that kind of thing. Not sure why I don't throw them away, I'll never use them in that condition. I think I'm a pack rat.

 

[bearbear]

ok. I have one. It is from Kohls and I got it with my birthday gift card. I have a rule for myself, if I can't keep the amount in the purse that I spend for it, I don't need it.

I have about 20 sitting in the closet. Ever since I had kids I just don't carry them any more. I always have my VB Black microfiber diaper bag. I am a big wristlet person though. If I don't need the diaper bag I will just carry my wristlet. I probably have about 6 of those. (I am also a snob when it comes to bags, I only like designer labels)

 

[rlovew]

I don't spend money on purses- I have 1 a jean one with a lighthouse on it that I got at a craft fair. I don't use it though. I use a fanny pack. I used to switch back and forth but I always use the fanny pack at Disney so it takes me a long time to switch back- but now the purse is ripped on the inside so I just use the pack.

I also use the camera bag as a purse if I am somewhere and wanting to take pictures. I just need something to keep my cell phone, credit card and liscense inside of.

I like purses but can't bring myself to spend over $20 for one - and they have to be on sale, usually at Kohls. Right now I have a big brown commuter bag that I use for work, 2 black purses - a 9 west and a relic, then a little black purse that I use for dress up (on those rare occasions). I did look at Vera bags this summer - the one I likedthe best had a coffee name, can't remember it though

 

[hopemax]

I'm not a purse person either. I have about 5, and they are all Alice in Wonderland purses. The current one I am using is a tiny Cheshire Cat bag. Barely room for my wallet, pack of tissues and a bottle of ibuprofen. And I still lose stuff in it.

 

[Michellepooh]

Another Vera Bradley fan here. I have a bunch in different sizes and patterns, but my everyday bag is the Maggie in the Java Blue pattern. My diaper bag is the Vera tote in Java Blue. I'm fighting the temptation to order more from the online sale.

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

One, I got it from Lillian Vernon last year. it has a zillion pockets and i love it. I hate carrying a diaper bag into every store or restaraunt. So its perfect. Loved! it at Disney this year. Now if it would quite swallowing my keys.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm a purse freak, too!! I love Vera Bradley bags!! The backpacks are my favorites--I have one in Kensington and one in Apple Green (I think that's the name?). My favorite one, though, is a newer style (Morgan) that is in the new Night Owl pattern.

I also have just a basic black and a basic brown leather purse.

Whatever type of purse I buy or carry, it has to be big!!! I love big bags, and I carry everything but the kitchen sink in there!

 

[123SA]

I am not into purses at all. I'd rather go to the dentist than go shopping for one. I own one purse and one evening bag. I'll keep them until they fall apart.

 

[JandJ]

I have no idea and wouldn't even want to count!

Right now my favorite is the red Big Buddha DH gave me for my birthday. I get compliments every day on that bag. In the summer I love to use my Chanel that was a gift from my BFF's mom (yeah, she's a pretty awesome mom!). It's white so I don't carry it often - I'm afraid it will get dirty! My other favorite is a silk bag that I got at an Asian festival for $10 - it's just very different and pretty.

 

[ksjayhawks]

About 18, including the ones for "dress up". My favorites are my Coach, especiallay the first one my kids got me.

i hate to answer this one! i also am a purse freak. i love my vera's. in fact my sil gave me a new one for my birthday in caffe latte with the zip id case. its brown and black. i love it! i wish it was a tad bigger, but i'll use it! most of my leather ones are black. but i've been known to switch alot. i go through spurts of what style i like. sometimes i find my self with a sling type and everything is just floating around in there. drives my dh crazy because sometimes i'm out and it's not zipped & everything is open to the world. i know very bad habit to get into.
but i do love them all. and i have no idea how many i have!
