I have 4 bags. I slouchy brown suede - good for papers, kindle , a cardi , a bottle of watter and apples - old and needs to be retired ( but i find hard to find bigger cross-body bags) . I adorable vintage cognac leather , used to be a huntress bag ( you can literally Cary water with it), unfortunately it's half an inch small for my kindle ( it has a very stiff structured shape) , one black sequined for evenings out/wedding/formal occasions and one small black cross-body for cubing. ( I borrow from my mum's clutch collection though ) . I really need to upgrade to a nice tan fabric one and of course , one red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-421363 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:25:08 +0000 Anonymous 421363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so fun to see them all in a happy herd!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-421291 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:21:51 +0000 Jonesy 421291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such eye candy! Thanks for sharing your fab collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-421290 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:21:04 +0000 Janet 421290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, you inspired me. Yesterday when I was getting dressed, I pulled out all of my bags and spread them out on the bed so I could see exactly what I had. There were two bags in the collection I'd pretty much forgotten, and they were color duplicates of nicer, newer ones, so away they went. I'm now down to two dozen, including evening clutches and a couple of fun little vintage bags. </p> <p>I also spotted a wardrobe hole: even though I had three cream bags (varying sizes, two rarely used), and four gray bags, I have nothing in the tan/caramel/cognac scheme. It turned out to be a useful exercise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420829 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:36:42 +0000 Kate 420829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful collection, thanks for sharing! </p> <p>I'm definitely a bad minimalist, even after the influence of YLF. I've got two purses, as pictured below. The brown one with the tree silhouette goes with me to campus every single day and fits my laptop, a warmer layer, and water bottle along with the basics (wallet, keys, phone)! The cognac one comes out on nights and weekends when all I need are the basics and sometimes a cardigan or light scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420767 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 13:25:13 +0000 Vani 420767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Mary, you have just shown me what a long way I have to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420747 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:26:00 +0000 Janet 420747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I love seeing other YLF ladies' collections, and how you organize them! </p> <p>I have probably two dozen bags, plus a couple of evening/formal clutches. I just bought a lovely blue bag while out shopping with Angie and the ladies in NYC, so I'll be letting go of at least one old bag -- more likely two or three -- that were inexpensive things I bought years ago that I just don't love. I've slowly been upgrading my whole bag collection. I find that once you have nicer handbags, it's really hard to use your older, cheaper, less fab ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420734 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:02:02 +0000 Jjsloane 420734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely bags! I have total bag envy. I am still on one bag per season until it's worn out. I'd love to have a huge assortment, but I'm just too busy to change them regularly. Luckily for me I have a generous SIL who buys bags and doesn't ever like them and gifts them to me. My newest is a gorgeous bronze Cole Haan bag. I have a few others, but one needs a zipper repair (does anyone do this?). I also have a small collection of vintage beaded evening bags that I only pull out for weddings and the rare night out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420728 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 08:12:04 +0000 Deborah 420728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few!!! Need to count but 20ish and then some clutches and evening bags. Your collection is gorgeous Mary... I love handbags! My goal is to add some colored bags. I have red, apple green, silver-gray, patterned (black and white), pink suede, cream , white and a few different styles in black... xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420725 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:33:39 +0000 Katiepea 420725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are gorgeous bags MaryK - I really could come and "shop" your closet! ;-)</p> <p>I think I have around 3 bags at the moment, plus a couple of evening clutch type purses that are used on "special" occasions. I am seriously thinking of buying some more though after seeing all your beautiful colours and styles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420722 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:18:49 +0000 ButterflyLady 420722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely collection - like Ornella, I'd like to see them arranged in rainbow order!</p> <p>I have - one camel bag, one red bag, a huge black bag in which I can find nothing, so it needs to be replaced, two small cross body bags, one brown, and one black, and several sparkly evening clutches (which is odd, as I rarely have the need for them!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420706 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:53:45 +0000 Queen Mum 420706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous bags Mary. I think I have about 6 or 7. I dont' plan to amass a large bag collection.

I am wanting to buy more though, especially seeing your lovely rainbow! Especially love the mustard-colored one in the middle! Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420686 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:06:31 +0000 cciele 420686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous assortment MaryK! So many delicious colors and styles. I like the animal(?) print tote -- very cool.</p> <p>I probably have around 20 bags too, with some to be resold. Early in my bag collecting days, I took a picture of the Hayden Harnett bags I had -- still have all except for copper metallic tote (replaced with same version in black patent). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420678 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 01:33:56 +0000 DressLover 420678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pleading the Fifth. ;)</p> <p>Fab bags, MaryK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420579 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 22:43:11 +0000 rae 420579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oof, I have about 20 as well... I am planning to resell a couple though, and that number also includes a couple that just got put away with the summer wardrobe. I have: </p> <p>Pink, Red, brick Hello Kitty tote, burgundy, cognac, peach (might resell), 2 yellow, sage green (reselling), turquoise (summer), blue, dark purple, purple canvas with cat embellishment, 5 black (small crossbody being resold, small crossbody, small shoulder, large shoulder, large messenger that I made), and a b/w striped one.

And I haven't really graduated yet. I have one black cross-body, one dark blue, more casual cross-body, my thrifted Coach bag in dark red (only good for days when I don't need to carry much) and a straw bag (obviously summer only). Plus my mother-in-law's evening bag. C'est tout (for now). But I aim to get a couple of others this season or next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420525 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 20:32:52 +0000 Sveta 420525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wow!<br /> With my grand total of 4 bags ( tan hobo, teal tote, red satchel and summer-only multicolored check tote (apple green / orange / pink / yellow) I am hiding here in shame!<br /> I would love to bag-shop in your closet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420466 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:53:33 +0000 Ornella 420466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And how about arranging them BY COLOUR as in the actual rainbow ;)</p> <p>Me? Black (in rotation in winter, needs replacing), grey (in rotation), beige (summer bag) and a few small ones for going out (sparkly black, vintage style black, simple no-nonsense 'just carrying my stuff in something' black).</p> <p>Black messenger bag.</p> <p>Black cross-body bag.</p> <p>Some got demoted from my wardrobe in recent months :)</p> <p>And, obviously, I am waiting for the perfect new red one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420459 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:26:52 +0000 MsMary 420459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what's funny?

And now I just LOVE what the right bag can do for my outfits! I am going out of town today for a week and am having a hard time choosing just one bag! (I'm leaning towards the pony print tote on the bottom right in photo 1.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420437 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:01:51 +0000 Mo 420437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty!

Very comprehensive :). I have 5 in regular rotation, 1 new one that hasn't been used yet, 2 that aren't used as often because they're a tad small, and 2 evening bags. </p> <p>Pre YLF I was a one bag at a time girl, and would replace them as they wore out. I've now come to appreciate how much a bag can do for your look, and am loving slowly growing my collection and having options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420429 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 17:49:45 +0000 Sheila 420429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for these pics...need to show 'em to my husband!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420405 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 17:14:10 +0000 rute 420405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-the-bag-rainbow#post-420401 Sun, 11 Sep 2011 17:11:02 +0000 MsMary 420401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A while back somebody was remarking on my multi-colored bag collection, and asked if I could take a photo of all of them together. I was straightening out my closet this morning, so here it is! Spread out on the bed, and tucked away on their shelves in the closet.</p> <p>There are an even twenty of them, of which I'd say about half are in heavy rotation, a quarter are in moderate rotation, and the rest are special occasion bags that come out to play only when the occasion is right (e.g. evening bags or the straw beachy bag).</p> <p>How many bags do you all have? </p>
