My beloved purse collection over the many years. Most of my collection is thrifted, with a few that were bought online and gifted to me. I tend to use the same purse for months for everyday use, but will switch it up depending on the occasion.
To start, this has been my everyday purse for the past 2-3 months. I thrifted this at my hometown thrift store, Thrifty Shopper, back over my winter break. I love this purse, it matches with everything and fits everything (sometimes my entire water bottle).
Next up is this Zara purse I was gifted from a friend, with the tags still on. I used this purse quite frequently; it is simple but gets the job done.
This Coach purse is the oldest bag in my collection. I inherited this from my mom when I was in high school. She has had this purse for over a decade, and I have put it to use. It is such a classic that is perfect for everyday use.
Another Coach purse, this one was gifted by my friend’s mom. The blue cheetah print is so fun!! She is super mini and cute.
Yet another Coach bag, this is my small wallet pouch. I got this at my local boutique in Fayetteville, NY, Fashion Exchange. I have had this since high school, and I still use this on the regular for my cards and cash items. This has currently been in use with my silver purse.
I found this beautiful little purse at the Savers in Hamburg, NY. It reminds me of Marilyn Monroe! The gold belt she has on is little beads that sparkle.
This purse was a classic, everyday for me in high school. I rarely ever use this anymore, so I will probably end up listing it on Depop soon. I got this at my local Salvation Army on Erie Boulevard in Syracuse, AKA my favorite thrift store.
This was another gifted purse from my friend Val. It is a Dooney & Bourke black purse. This is a big, heavy purse, and I have only used it a handful of times. I love the silver buckles it has on the pockets!
I found this old vintage Steve Madden bag at the Thrifty Shopper in East Syracuse over winter break as well. Unfortunately, it has been peeling like crazy ever since I got it, due to how old it probably is. I just love the old western tassels look.
Another Salvation Army find was this navy blue Candies purse.
Yet another Salvation Army find was this black clutch. I love this for going out to dinner with my friends.
Everything about this purse is so cool, the shape, the color, and the pattern are just, mwah. I wore this for my birthday dinner last year and have yet to wear it since. I believe this is also another Salvation Army find.
This bag looks like it has gone through a war at this point. I got this thrifting in high school, and it has since lost just about every silver sequin. I had to include this though, because I distinctly remember Urban Outfitters coming out with a collection of purses that are identical to this one, and I just so happened to find this vintage version at the thrift store. Super cool, super awesome.
Last but not least, there is my huge Marc Jacobs workbag. I got this over the summer at the Chelsea flea market from the nicest vendor! She had the craziest collection of purses, bags, and shoes. This is my most versatile bag that I use for almost everything. It is the perfect schoolbag, workbag, and carry-on bag.
I have a few other purses/clutches, but I thought that would have been overkill to show. So, I accumulated my absolute favorites to show! Having a good collection goes a long way in terms of accessorizing with your outfits.
