I have one purse. It's black and white houndstooth-y. I will not switch until it falls apart, at which point I'll get a new one. I have a strong opposition to paying more than $25 for a purse. DH has no idea how good he has it that bags are not my thing. I tried to tell him once how many purses, shoes and hair coloring appointments many women have and he just didn't believe me, lol!

# of purses right now = 0

I do have one black diaper bag which is a backpack. When I go out w/o DC I just carry my wallet/wristlet. Does a wallet/wristlet count? If so, I spend $50-100 each time and I usually have only one at a time. Right now I have a black patterned one. Yes my dh knows how many I have and how much they cost.

On the other hand, when I visit my mom, I usually persuade her to give me one of her purses or wallets as she is a purse/wallet fiend. However she is very into coach right now and I am not. Anyone else do that?

I'm not a huge purse lover. I LOVE shoes and try to match outfits to my excessive shoe collection. i get overwhelmed if I have to match a purse in there too. LOL.

I have 2 purses that i carry. One is is taupe leather, from Banana Republic, on sale last fall for $113 (down from $226). It's pretty "minimalist" in that it doesn't have any designs but has a big silver toggle latch on front and identical toggle hardware that the shoulder straps connect to. It's not really big. I wear it on my shoulder under my arm. it's probably big enough to fit my wallet, a small makeup bag and a pair of ballerine flats in and nothing else. Its not the kind of bag you'd really notice. It seems to blend in with any outfit without drawing attention to itself. I carry this most of the year.

For the summer, I use a woven straw Etienne Aigner ($50?) purse that is a bit larger than my Banana Republic purse. It's got a woven straw plaid print on it that is really cute and matches with everything.

For date night, I have all kinds of little bags that won't fit more than my driver's licence, compact, lipstick and some credit cards. They are colorful Asian-looking bags with bright colored embroidery on satin fabric. They were in the Target dollar bin! I find them there a couple of times a year. Some have bamboo handles. They are so fun but pretty delicate so I only use them for date nights.

I have a Jujube backpack for when we take the entire family out and I need to back drinks and changes of clothing.

ETA: I probably own about 10 other purses- 2 leather teensy backpacks, an old-style black coach bag from 15 years ago, a couple of others that I dont' really use much except with specific outfits. They are all on a high shelf of my closet since they don't get much use anymore.
