Counted 'em up and I got 10 this year (in my defense, 3 were gifts 🙂) definitely putting a pause on bag buying this year so that I can enjoy the bags I have ❤
Thank you, Sofia! I have a special outing planned next week for the Prada. Sadly, the Miranda is fabulous, but I'm absolutely stumped on how to style it.
“Multiples are fun!” Yessssss! For me, that’s my Fendi Peekaboo obsession, haha! I already own four in different sizes and will never not want more! Fun video, Caleb! ❤
Great collection, I’m still salty I missed out on that mini Rouge when it was on sale. So yess talk to me about that one but remember I know what you paid and you swiped it from me 😂 two bags you influenced me to buy the Celine boogie and the Ricky. Yeppers twinning on those. TFS 👛🛍️🙏🦆🚢
Hi Caleb! HNY to both you and Zane! I love both of your Ricky bags the best! I think I got about 7 bags last year, either new or pre-loved and they are all great!!! Ive been a collector for about 30 years, so I have alot to enjoy, for sure!
Happy New Year to you too, Karen! The Rickys are definitely my favorites too! And collecting for 30 years- I bet you have some really amazing pieces in your collection!
Sad sloping shoulder girlie here, I unfortunately sold a lot of my beautiful Bal cities and Besace hobos because they'd always slide off my shoulder. I enjoyed seeing all of your purchases of last year summarized in one video! Your collection is a nostalgic millennial's dream!
Sad sloping shoulders unite! haha! And I'm sure you experienced this too- but bags that stay on my should during the summer absolutely will not stay on my shoulder with a coat- so all of my gorgeous shoulder bags have to wait for warmer weather now. 😞 And thank you for the compliment! I definitely love the IT bags of yesterday!
You added some great bags/styles to your collection. I know how valuable closet real estate is and it’s just too precious for “closet art” I way over bought in 2024 as well. I’m not proud of it. In fact, I was thinking about this last night and said I really can’t do this again. I need to wait and think before I purchase (much harder to do in the boutique than online). But, after my birthday in February I won’t buy anything until our big trip in May (famous last words)
All your bags are gorgeous. My favorite is the dooney bag. I am not sure what my count for bags this year was. My mom passed in 2011 and she only owned one bag and it was a cheap Tommy Hilfiger bag. I wanted that bag for so long and I was able to find it in black and green in pretty decent condition. It was from the early 2000s. My mom was frugal and didn't care about fashion. She always saved her money. After this whole Wirkin fiasco it has opened my eyes on how ruthless, elitist, and classist fashion can be. I am a creative person and once read somewhere that creativity comes from using what you already have. I think 2025 I am going to focus more on my creative side and less on accumulation. I don't want to be like some of the people I have seen on social media act towards people that have bought the Wirkin or some other cheaper bag. I am going to allocate my funds towards my investments and paying off my house.
Thank you! And I'm really happy you were able to find the Tommy Hilfiger bag like your mothers. And you brought up some great points about creativity and reassessing things after seeing how others have treated people during this conversation. I too was kind of shocked by how folks reacted.
I am having a bag huge clear out in 2025! Making way for some more luxury but less of it so I actually end up using them! Great video Caleb! Love seeing a mix of mid range, y2k and higher end bags in your collection :)
That's a great idea, Becky! And thank you, I love collecting all types of bags. But definitely less in 2025 for me as well- I want to use what I have, and get excited about using them!
Caleb. I like your collection. I Can see what you mean about some of the Coach bags the small strap and your right the other one could be a weapon. My favorite was the Ricky bag anything Ralph Lauren I love. And the boogy are to cute. I try to stay away from the big bags. I would fill it up. It would weigh more than a car tire. Your Coach bags are very impressive shoot your whole collection is. Coach zebra would be a fun bag to carry. And dooney and bourke love them.
I just started getting into bags this year as I finished up my doctorate (I was simply too poor to start my bag journey before then!). My first and best purchase this year was a Givenchy Antigone in a mix of black leather and black suede. Suede became such a trend this year and I love the look and feel of the Antigona. I know it’s not a hot bag right now but the craftsmanship and look I think can be timeless! That’s my best bag of the year 🎉
My Coach Cassie 19's and a Coach Morgan were definitely my big hits. Very similar interior layout and they hold more than they look capable of. I bought 23. I need to do a clear out now and stop buying so much. I need to figure out which ones are truly working for me and move the ones that aren't on to someone else that can appreciate them.
I think I’m gonna do low buy in 2025 after going a bit crazy in 2024! I realize I’m more into curating my collection than just buying a ton that I won’t get to !
I am doing an intentional year for 2025. I don’t have a set number or set dollar amount I am trying to stick to. I have other ambitions that do not leave much $$ for bags.
I had a pair of pony hair tennis shoes. I loved them. Sadly just by wearing them , I rubbed the hair off the inside, so I understand about pony hair. I found it funny that two of the bags you talked about being sold, you sold to me and I refuse to part with them. They are in the top 4 of my favorites. My top 4 are as follows: 4- The Coach color block shoulder bag I got from your website, 3- The large Dooney Bucket, 2- The wine colored Bleaker duffle, and 1- my Coach Drifter in black suede and leather. My favorite bag out of that gorgeous list is the Bleaker green bucket in bottle green. Let me know if you are willing to part with that one. 😉❤😁
I heard that some luxury brands no longer do authentication because the fakes are so good. Actually, I don’t mind buying fakes at all. It may be more economical.
Pony hair is fabulous, but so fickle! And I'm so happy to hear that you're loving the bags you got from me! That Dooney bucket is fabulous, I'm so bummed I couldn't make it work. 😩 And if/when the bottle green goes on the chopping block, you have first dibs! 💯
Ooooh, is your Coach Zoe the Editorial Zoe? I have one in black! Sadly I’m selling her because I’m only 5’4” so it overwhelms me which makes me quite sad. It’s probably the most stunningly constructed bag I own.
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that about your Zoe! Mine isn't he editorial, it's just the XL, but I think it's the same size as the editorial. They really are gorgeous bags!
I managed to buy 2 Fendi bags this year (a first) and origami and a peekaboo. Biggest miss was the Fendi sweater I bought because it at into the bag money. I do like the boogie bag. Never seen it before I started watching you
Those are great Fendi bags to add to your collection. And I understand your regret with buying ready-to-wear vs. money for a bag. And if you haven't gotten a Boogie yet- I can't recommend them enough!
For 2025, I want to do a "very low buy". I really want to curate my collection, because previous years had me buying like I was possessed, haha! Now, will I actually do low buy???? I've already bought 1 bag (the Dooney big bucket like yours in this video!) last week and I literally will be bidding on 5 within the next week. Constraint is very hard when you love bags!
Yes! Omg, I was just thinking about those the other day. We just kind of outgrew them after a while. I think we stopped sometime early last year, but I can't remember exactly when.
I have started a challenge with my husband that we won’t buy any new clothes, shoes or bags for 2025. I know. I’m massively competitive so I can’t cave first. I’m allowed one wild card: one bag if I find a preloved gem. I’m currently debating the Jypsiere 28. My shoulders are weedy, I couldn’t go bigger. Buy as I love a cross body and it would be fabulous for travel or put the money towards a first QB ?? Decisions decisions!
Could you repair your 'sad sloping shoulders' situation by doing weight training in a gym? Zero shade! I mention it because I am picking up the vibe that your shoulders are an issue for you because they cause problems with some of your bags! I don't know my bag count but it is vastly less than yours! I will keep a record this year - I need to get one of Autumn's bag planners! Thank you for the video!
It’s time! The final tally for bags bought in 2024! I’m curious, I’ve shared my bag count for the year, what’s yours?
No bags but a lot of games 😅
Counted 'em up and I got 10 this year (in my defense, 3 were gifts 🙂) definitely putting a pause on bag buying this year so that I can enjoy the bags I have ❤
You added some amazing bags this past year. Your Ricky bags are 🔥and so you!
Thanks so much!! They're definitely among my faves!
They were all so beautiful but the Miranda, soooo gorgeous! ❤❤❤
Thank you! I'm having trouble styling the Miranda, but it's a gorgeous bag!
Yes! Caleb, please do a more detailed review of the little cross body Dooney and Bourke.
I wrote up a full review on my website! curatedbycaleb.com/2025/01/05/dooney-bourke-pebble-grain-18-crossbody-review/
Faves are for sure that Zoe, the boogies and your Rickys!! Dead and no one can judge you in the safe space, definite eww that was funny 😂
Thank you, Julie!! haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😆
Lol! My hit was your miss- Dooney & Bourke large taupe Arrowhead. Love it!!
Haha! I'm glad you're loving yours! It's a gorgeous bag!
my faves are the coach miranda and the prada frame bag!
Thank you, Sofia! I have a special outing planned next week for the Prada. Sadly, the Miranda is fabulous, but I'm absolutely stumped on how to style it.
“Multiples are fun!” Yessssss! For me, that’s my Fendi Peekaboo obsession, haha! I already own four in different sizes and will never not want more! Fun video, Caleb! ❤
Haha, I hear you, it's amazing how you can never have enough! And the Peekaboo is the perfect bag to be obsessed with!
So many great bags Caleb! Can’t wait to see what you buy this year.
Thank you!! Hopefully a lot less than 22 bags this year!
I want that Prada frame bag! So stunning.
It's so good! I searched for this one for such a long time- as soon as I saw it pop up on TRR, I snatched it!
love that Celine ((black) bag. Gorgeous!
Ok. Getting “Old Money” embroidered on the LL Bean bag is so savage. You are so hilarious! Love it!!!
Haha! Thank you!!
You have such a great vibe!
Thank you, I'm glad you think so!
Great collection, I’m still salty I missed out on that mini Rouge when it was on sale. So yess talk to me about that one but remember I know what you paid and you swiped it from me 😂 two bags you influenced me to buy the Celine boogie and the Ricky. Yeppers twinning on those. TFS 👛🛍️🙏🦆🚢
Thank you, Dee Dee! The baby Rogue is so cute, I'll keep my eye out for you if I see another one come up! And the Boogie and Ricky are amazing bags!
🏆🏆🏆Rickey/Ricky will always be my favorite, but you do have some nice ones. The black Celine would be the first second😉😎
Thank you, I love a good Ricky too!
Enjoyed this!! I swear it didn’t see me like 22 bags lol. For me, 2025 is a lo buy year. Great video!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you, J! I was honestly surprised by how many I bought- I didn't think it would be so many!

HI! I am too scared to go and check my tally! Loved this video!
Haha, I know the feeling. It can be scary!!
Just found you gotta say love you style ✌️
Thank you! I'm glad you found me!
You added some great bags/styles to your collection. I know how valuable closet real estate is and it’s just too precious for “closet art”
I way over bought in 2024 as well. I’m not proud of it. In fact, I was thinking about this last night and said I really can’t do this again.

Really enjoyed it have a wonderful day stay safe see you soon I really enjoyed the bags you bought
You too, I'm glad you liked them!
Enjoyed the Bought Bags In 2024 Vid Caleb :)
Thank you!

Definitely too many bags but each one is stunning so I can’t be mad 😂
Haha! Thank you, Shikma!!
Caleb. I like your collection. I Can see what you mean about some of the Coach bags the small strap and your right the other one could be a weapon. My favorite was the Ricky bag anything Ralph Lauren I love. And the boogy are to cute. I try to stay away from the big bags. I would fill it up. It would weigh more than a car tire. Your Coach bags are very impressive shoot your whole collection is. Coach zebra would be a fun bag to carry. And dooney and bourke love them.
Thank you, Kris! 2024 was a busy year, I'm hoping to take in less in 2025. Wish me luck!
I just started getting into bags this year as I finished up my doctorate (I was simply too poor to start my bag journey before then!). My first and best purchase this year was a Givenchy Antigone in a mix of black leather and black suede. Suede became such a trend this year and I love the look and feel of the Antigona. I know it’s not a hot bag right now but the craftsmanship and look I think can be timeless! That’s my best bag of the year 🎉
Congratulations on your Givenchy Antigona, the different suedes and leathers sounds gorgeous!
Ooh I saw that red Miranda on TRR and almost snagged it! Is that the one you got? Love it
It's not that exact one, but I know which bag you're talking about! I might be selling mine soon, I'm struggling with styling ideas.
My Coach Cassie 19's and a Coach Morgan were definitely my big hits. Very similar interior layout and they hold more than they look capable of. I bought 23. I need to do a clear out now and stop buying so much. I need to figure out which ones are truly working for me and move the ones that aren't on to someone else that can appreciate them.
I'm sure you'll find a great home for some of your favorites! And I'm thinking of doing the same thing!
I bought 3. Two LVs and a Birkin. No misses but my most used of the 3 has been my Neonoe. That’s been an easy and fun bag to use.
That's a great list, Janet! And I could see how the Neo Noe would be your most used, it's such a great bag!
I think I’m gonna do low buy in 2025 after going a bit crazy in 2024! I realize I’m more into curating my collection than just buying a ton that I won’t get to !
I couldn't agree more, that's a great idea for 2025!
you never have too many bag right Happy new year
Happy new year!
The Ralph Fringe ❤ is the best
Thank you, Joshy! The fringe is so fun to play with!!
No buy / low buy year for me! I am saving $$$ this year!!!
Yes!! Great idea! I'm definitely pulling way back in spending this year!
So many bags this past year! 😅 to be honest I knew it was a lot 😆 but I think when collecting it happens…I mean how many games do I have 🤣 ❤
You know it's true - once you start collecting, it's hard to stop!
I am doing an intentional year for 2025. I don’t have a set number or set dollar amount I am trying to stick to. I have other ambitions that do not leave much $$ for bags.
That's awesome, Melissa! I'm definitely allocating my funds to other places for 2025 as well, so that means less bags for me too.

@@CalebSnell it's on the list. i have some bags to buy in the first half of the year.
@@CalebSnell my other regret about it is LA wasn't as cold this fall/winter so the sweater was completely pointless.

That's so true, constraint is super hard when we love bags so much!
I bought a lot of bags and SLG’s from Coach Outlet does that count?😅
Absolutely! And they make some cute SLG's!
I just realized: what happened to the little text asides from the Zane Peanut Gallery?
Yes! Omg, I was just thinking about those the other day. We just kind of outgrew them after a while. I think we stopped sometime early last year, but I can't remember exactly when.
