Yes I know, shock horror, but I have a soft spot for bags, as I do with everything...
I think every girl loves bags, they may not have alot, they may just have one, but I bet they love it. Firstly because it's like your old blankie you had as a kid that was your safety net, our handbags are our grown-up safety net as they have all the things we love/treasure and need right under our arm.
Now, I believe there can be different types of bag lovers;
there's the investment buyer- she puts half a years' pay packet into one (or maybe a few) good quality, usually leather bag;
there's the love it-need it-want it-right now buyer who takes it wherever she goes for a month then tosses it in the back of her closet never to see the light of day again and moves onto the next hot style;
there's the destroyer who dirties every bag she owns, straps broken, zips broken, sand and skittles at the bottom of the bag (not too specific!) and will continue to use it until it no longer can fulfill it's duty as a carrier of items;
Lastly, there is the collector, who treasures and loves every bag she has and keeps them in a neat and tidy safe place, some stuffed with paper, and uses all the bags equally like they have feelings...
Now there is also an exception for these types of 'baggers', you can be multiple types, I, for example, am all four.
I have investment bags, I have bags I froth at the mouth over then get sick of, I destroy my beloved everyday handbag, and I also like to rotate my uses of my multiple bags (usually because I forget I have them and fall back in love with 'em).
Altogther I have approximately 48 bags...and counting...varying from large handbags/wallets/clutches/slings and coin purses, my count does not include my little shopping 'free with purchase' bags.
To start off, I will show you my latest love, my Collette clutch, yes, I quite like some of the bags they have, I nearly got two colours and two more styles.....but I was good....
A previous champion bag/giant clutch a got from Collette was this lovely lady:
