How often do you rotate bags?

bumblebee · Coach

i am the same as you. i wish i were one of those organized people who change their bag each day to match their outfit, but i am far too lazy. i just switch it whenever i am forced to because it clashes with what i picked to wear that day, or it starts to look out-of-season. so it depends on that, but on average maybe once every three weeks or so. i will switch to a small evening bag if i am going out, though.

Elle · Hermes

I switch bags once, maybe twice per season !

Though right now, all of my bags are cheapies:

2 from Gap

1 from Old Navy

1 from Payless

1 from Mervyns

1 from TJ Maxx - random brand

I usually get a new bag because I'm tired of what I've got, and since they're all cheapies it doesn't exactly make me want to go dig them out of the closet . Hopefully I'll be gettinga nicer one soon.

Just about everyday or every other depending on what I'm wearing or more so, my mood.Sometimes I get lazy and it's about 1 week.

Same. I love bags and own about 30+ (although like 99% are from Target).

cc · Marc Jacobs

I switch pretty often. Usually a few times a week. I even sometimes just alternate between my two black leather bags. I have a lot of bags though and I like to get use out of them plus I like to give my heavily used bags a break so they'll last longer.

Most of my bags are random brands. I have a MJ bag, a Stella McCartney eveningish bag, a few by smaller designers, a bunch of Barneys brand and then lots of cheaper stuff like Diesel, Gap, Banana etc.

My only bag that cost more than $30 was a gift & it wasn't even much more... LAMB small purse. I change bags to match my outfits though, I have a brown XOXO purse, caramel Rampage, b&w LAMB, cream Zara, white Aldo and those have been doing the job pretty well. I would like to get a small "going out" white purse (I wear a lot of white & bright colors) and also an all black purse for going out as well.

I'll wear the SAME BAG for months at a time, till it starts to fall apart, then it'll be time for a new one; I may change out bags when I go out w/Joe or my girlfriends, but for the most part, I feel like if I switch bags daily, I'll forget something IMPORTANT, so...... LOL

Lilykind · Hermes

I switch between bags depending on my outfit. I can be running twenty minutes late but I will not walk out the door if my purse doesn't match my outfit at least somewhat.

The ones that get the most rotation.

Monogram LV Speedy 25 (I'll probably carry this until I'm dead)

Black leather Moschino shoulder bag w/heart buckle closure (I'll have this for at least 5 years or so, and then I'll get something like a Chanel quilted in Caviar leather or a Celine Boogie to replace it)

Black canvas/leather trim satchel (IM for Target...I should've bought at least two or three of these...best $16.99 I've ever spent!)

Ivory leather slouchy hobo (t-bags...it's a lot like the Tano bags all the girls here love)

jlear · Kenneth Cole

Almost everyday- I have 50+ vintage handbags that I'm in love with!

I have a little black leather bag that I put my wallet, chapstick, and keys in. Then I just transfer this from one bag to another. Keeps all the main things together in one spot.

cat · Marc Jacobs

Every day to match my outfit. I am a dork!

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I pretty much carry my LV everyday, sometimes switching it out for a cross-body bag on the days I don't want to hold anything.

I think once I get my Gucci, I'll rotate that and my LV frequently, depending on whether or not I think my outfit needs a black or a brown bag

Sandy · Kate Spade

How often I switch my bag depends... I wear one until I get sick of it or find one I like more. I don't usually change to match an outfit (unless it totally clashes). My most expensive bag is my Tano, which I'm using right now. I have about 12 or 13 other bags, most coming from Urban or GAP. I can't seem to take the leap into the designer bag world quite yet.

member · Hermes

I switch my bag to match my outfits, so it's pretty frequently. I have 9 coach purses, 1 small pink bag from Express, a beaded clutch for formal occasions, a black small formal purse, a larger pink crocodile bag from the Limited, a small black guess purse...and a few other random bags.

happydaisy69 · BCBG

I'm such a dork about my bags!!!

I have so many its almost a sickness!!! I usually change everyday,and I usually have smaller size purses thruout the week. I use my bigger ones on weekends to carry all mine and my sons stuff,or when I'm traveling somewhere to do hair.

I have NO idea how many bags I have-I constantly buy more. Clutches are my absolute obsession. I havnt ventured into designer bag territory yet,but I want a Chanel someday!

Eurodaisy · Dooney & Bourke

At school, I don't carry a separate hand bag, so I just throw my wallet, keys, etc. into my messenger bag with my books. If I go somewhere else, though, I'll change everything into a handbag, so I usually end up carrying a different one every day.

All of my bags are cheap. (Can't get a Coach 'til I pass the bar -- that's my rule!) My "go to" bags are a big black, mock croc satchel from Anne Klein (it's great!) and a printed cotton tote from LaRedoute.

I also do a version of jlear's method: I have a "kit" that I keep with me at all times that has random crap I might need (bandaids, tissues, lip balm, a nail file, etc.). It's all packed in a little LeSportSac cosmetic bag that I bought at TJMaxx. So when I change bags, I just grap my "kit," my wallet, cell phone, and keys, and I'm ready to go! Having to only remember four things gets me out the door a lot faster.

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

Hmmm...okay, I don't own any 'designer' bags...I just don't have a use for them.

For the most part I just stick with one for ages and ages, so long as it suits it's purpose. If I'm out with my son I'll carry something bigger so I can fit his things in also.
