How many handbags do you own?

DH says I have far too many. I want to sort this out once and for all.

I am just seeing if he's right or not.

Honest answers please!

none.

actually, not quite true. i was issued a uniform one for work...

tragic.

mrsseanbean · 23/01/2009 19:33

I know kettlechip! It is essential to count them to get an accurate picture. Unfortunately DH has now done this on my behalf and so has proof that my vague estimates are rubbish.

so 'fess up how many MrsSB

So what exactly is a "Summer bag" - I seem to be missing one of those!

noonki · 23/01/2009 19:46

none

  1. Storage is becoming an ishooo!

One, and I rarely use it. A backpack is so much more practical.

How do you handbag and shoe fiends manage to find room to store them all??

EldonAve · 23/01/2009 19:56

That's not so bad, I have just counted and I have 34
I'm ruthless about getting rid when they are out of fashion or unlikely to be used again

I reckon my best mate must have 100

ScottishMummy · 23/01/2009 19:59

run upstairs had a reccy and @37bags and 1 lin & leo laptop bag(does that count).quite modest amount i say

EldonAve · 23/01/2009 20:01

I can still remember all the bags that are gone

2pt4kids · 23/01/2009 20:03

I'm guessing 20 without counting, so that probably means 30 odd in reality

nigglewiggle · 23/01/2009 20:04

I have 6 and I am also going to make my DH read this. Whenever I admire a bag in a shop he says "what do you need another one for, you've got HUNDREDS?"

mrsseanbean · 23/01/2009 20:04

Thanks MNers, I now have invaluable ammo for DH!

mrsseanbean · 23/01/2009 20:05

I keep pictures.

EldonAve · 23/01/2009 20:20

The one I miss most was a faux snake shoulder bag, I had a matching purse too

pointydug · 23/01/2009 20:22

two

and I only got the second one to go with a wedding outfit.

I've never understood the handbag thing. Your dh is quite right.

pointydug · 23/01/2009 20:24

Where do some of you keep all these bags?

I have nowhere to stash 20+ handbagly fripperies.

I counted once, but have forgorren. It's between 15 and 20. But not enough imo. I covet a Mulberry.

saphron · 23/01/2009 20:34

ONE - brought for me by my in laws for Xmas 2008

TheWizardofOz · 23/01/2009 20:35

78

ScottishMummy · 23/01/2009 20:55

any ruby red slippers,suppose you got an excuse though wiz,carrying hearts,oil and all your caboodle

SoMuchToBits · 23/01/2009 21:00

Errm ... 2.

One navy (goes with most of my stuff) and one black (for concerts where I have to wear black).

I do have a large navy canvas bag though, and a few other beach type /shopping bags (about 4).

Astarte · 23/01/2009 21:06

Scottishmummy I have a divine pair of Viktor & Rolf ruby slippers! They are simply exquisite with glitter and a 4 inch heel.

Bags I don't know, not as many as 30 but I don't buy high street so I couldn't afford thirty.

Shoes different matter altogether. I wouldn't know how many I have tbh, but it's rather a lot

pointydug · 23/01/2009 21:30

raven raven, I loves ya.
