Dear Fabbers, I would welcome your views on what next for my handbag collection. This is for daily commute, rather than weekend use. Here is my existing collection:

1 - Black leather, shoulder, gold hardwear, good, comfy easy to wear
2. Liberty rucksack, not worn for a long time, but I am going to start again shortly
3. MK burgundy, small but v good for day to evening, doesn't hold much
4. as above but with cross body strap
5. navy leather, open topped, shoulder bag, okay but doesn't give me great joy, not much used
6. Mulberry cream, that DH gave me 10 years ago, much loved, reinstated to regular use recently
7 what I carry on a heavy commute (text book - heavy sigh)
8. what I carry on a light commute (fiction - happy)

Bags I am thinking about - 9 to 11, not the exact styles but colours I am thinking of
Animal print - but I think it will be too much for me to use well into the future
Red - for colour, but I am concerned that I may get bored in 2 to 3 years time
and with the animal print and the red, too 'shouty' for me

olive or taupe - good neutral

I am increasingly likely to change my bag two or three times a week, and interchange coats and scarfs to suit. I predominantly wear a black or navy coat.

All comments very welcome and thank you for looking.
