How Many Bags Are Considered "Too Many?"

Yesterday, I got an email from Frogger:

Did I tell you I did a huge dump of handbags?

And she listed off all the bags she had decided to keep in her rotation. She had narrowed things down to about 10 bags. But she added, "OMG, it still looks like so much" at the end of her email.

I told her that she is "packing light" compared to myself.

But it is different for everyone... There are people who use every bag they own and rotate them frequently. There are those who use a bag for a few days and then switch to one of their other favorites. There are people who quite a few but only use a few. There are even people (the horror!) who own two bags and only ever use those two.

I am one who owns a few and rotates them every few days/weeks. I don't own an obscene number. By the looks of this photo, I would say I own less than 20...

Don't be shocked!

That's not too many when you consider I have had some of them for nearly NINE YEARS. And the last time I bought a bag (not counting the Lululemon gym bag I picked up in July) was June 2008. (My vermillion Balenciaga number... Still my fave.)

My problem is that I, unlike Frogger, don't purge my bags. I keep them forever and ever and ever. And depending on whether or not I am working, I use certain bags more than others. These are the ones that get heavy rotation when I am a working gal...

How many do you own??? And do you treat them all equally?
