My Designer Handbag Collection

I've been meaning to do this post forever and a day and never do seem to get around to doing it, that was until today. I finally got together photos of my current handbag collection. At the moment all of my bags are from Coach except one and that is my LV Mono Speedy 35, which I treasure! I hope to expand my collection one day to include other designers then Coach but for now I'm pretty obsessed with Coach and I'm craving a LV Mono NF MM (hint hint, hubby of mine!!!!). If you follow my blog closely you have probably seen most of these bags except for a few. I didn't post the names with the bags or any other information because the box with all of my tags, receipts and information is currently put up to where I can't get to it very easily. When I am able to get to my box I will post more information on my bags but for now only photos will have to do.

My First Coach Bag - The Bag That Started It All

So there was a time back several years ago when I hated Coach *gasp* I know right? Well it's true, at the time I loved Dooney & Bourke bags and had looked at Coach but never saw anything I liked, the C's always seemed to turn me off at the time. I can't really explain that because I always bought the D&B signature bags, but oh well that was how I felt at the time. One day back around 2005-2007 somewhere in the time frame (I can not remember and exact year) I was looking around Macy's at the Dooney counter and happened to look over at the Coach counter and my eyes met a bag and I fell in love. Up until that time I had no interest in Coach, but after seeing the bag, I had to have it. I went right over and looked at it and discovered it was the SoHo Signature S Flap. I thought it looked so classy and nice, especially loved the hardware, the buckles were (and still are) awesome. Well as luck had it had the time Christmas was not too far away, so I told anyone that would listen how much I had to have this particular bag, I loved it and blah blah blah. Well as it turns out I ended up getting it as a gift for Christmas (big surprise right?) Needless to say that is the bag that started my endless Coach obsession. Now I don't even buy Dooney bags anymore....Dooney who?

What's In My Bag / March 2012

What my bag is:

 Coach Signature Stripe Shoulder Bag (Coach Outlet)

This is my everyday handbag, or as i call it my workhorse bag. i haul EVERYTHING in this bag. I've been using it for about 3 years now everyday and it still looks great, the quality is amazing! This bag will actually hold more than what you think it will. I used to carry it to work and I'd have everything that i have it in now plus candy bars, a bottle of water and a normal size container of Clorox wipes and in some cases a magazine with various other items.

What it looked like new, before it became my everyday bag:
