Concert and cinema tickets -- I've got them all! Since I first stepped foot in the theatres. Penguins, and I used to collect Iselin Steiro and Stam editorials/ads. I also have a crazy collection of Angelina Jolie magazine covers, although it wasn't a conscious decision to collect her. I stopped when she was in Vanity Fair with Keira, Scarlett & Tom Ford on the cover. I hated that cover so much I couldn't bare buying it, despite her presence.

Coins, the non-standard UK ones, from Guernsey and so on, because of the pictures they have on them of ancient monuments and animal life.

Also, any old coin that I find - frequently when you're walking across fields that have been recently turned, some old sixpence and a lot of pottery sees the light of day again, and while the pottery can stay put, the coin gets a new home. The local museum has a whole section devoted to it - numismatics - but looking at them in a display case isn't anywhere near as much fun as randomly finding them in the world around you, and wondering whose hands they've been in before yours.

Kate Moss stuff, since 2001. I have thousands of clippings and dozens of magazines, many extremely rare. Plus a Japanese clothing catalog from 1991 and a postcard to me from her.

I feel like an addict.

And also:
- perfume bottles (my mom and i never buy the same perfume twice)
- seashells from different beaches i've been to

 

[Style-Addict]

I think I'm going to start collecting wine bottle labels.. my mom does it so I might as well inherit it some of them are just so clever.

This sounds cool, I might start doing this!

My designer tie collection has grown significantly recently.

Currently I have 83 designer ties. Three I bought today.

The art of this collection is that I buy all of these ties second hand.
I worked out how much the collection would have cost bought new at an average of £60.00 per tie, the sum was £4,980. That's when I pay as little as a pound each for them.

 

[Style-Addict]

Second hand designer ties- cool!

 

[Whitelinen]

I know this will sound pretentious, BUT... I dream to one day have my own library. Hence, I collect books. Fiction, non-fiction, coffeetable books... everything that interests me. Anyone else with the same ambition here?

^ I'd love to have a library.
Have you seen Karl Lagerfeld's?
It's like one of those ones with the steel bookcases where you turn the wheel and they close together/open up.
I have way too many books. And I love them all.

 

[lapiz22]

I also love to have library one day, I love buying second hand books, but mostly collect art and photography books. I also collect vintage jewellery and bags particularly from 1930s -1950s, amazing what you can find and how inexpensive they are to buy.

I collect Japaness toys from the 1960s my dad gave bought me all kinds of vintage toys when I was a kid I have a ton of dream pets which are like the cutest thing in the world.
I collect books I know kind of basic but I love all kinds of books my fashion book collection is at a sad 5 but I want it to grow I bought the Viktor & Rolf book and I think it was the most expensive book I have bought but it is so great I want to get some photography coffee table books as well.

 

[from: sophia]

Oh I need to add to my list
Posters (Radiohead, White Stripes, Arcade Fire, Sweeny Todd, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs signed, Spoon signed when I met the singer, A few art french art deco prints as well)
I was collecting Prada and Dior Homme ads for a while but then Prada got all lacy (not really my thing sorry) and Hedi Silmmane left so that is over with for the mean time.

Oh yes! I bought the Oct US Vogue where he had a photo spread of his apartment, and although the apartment was far too minimalist for me (though I cannot not love how he has but old lace bed covers on his bed whilst everything else is steel and glass and new technology), I just loved his collection of books. Of course, what he has in that apartment (Paris) is only a little sampler of the whole library... I am sure I have seen a picture of his Biarritz library, which is apparently the "main" library.

Books just are in their very own category, I think. I can't part with them.

 

[Style-Addict]

I would love to have a library as well!! That is one reason why I don't give away/sell any of my books. I love each and every book I own- whether fiction, biography, coffee table book, etc. I want to put them all in a room one day and have them together in one place.

^I dream of one of those musty, dusty old libraries English country estates and manors have... you know, tall, dark book cases filled with leather-bound volumes...
