Hi,
Thank you for your positive comments re IGNES. Just to let you know we will soon create an online focus group, where feedback will be rewarded with bags! You can contact me anytime (details at ignesbags.com) if this is of interest to you...

I'm doing research on an article I'm writing on purses and am trying to find some brands that are a little off the beaten path. Some of you may know me as a big fan of lines like Kooba, Botkier, Bulga and Anna Corinna, but I'm also interested in focussing on other brands along these lines, or ones that are even more off the beaten path. I got some great names from an older thread: (Thanks Compass Rose and Passerby!)...

But I'd also like to give some other unknowns a bit of press, so if you can think of any other brands that you absolutely adore and think deserve a mention, please share! :idea:

Should be an interesting article! :smile: How about indie designers like Melanie Dizon, Carrie Valentine and Lesa Wallace? As usual, I've just been READING about them, can't say anything about seeing their bags in real life.

Oh, and the Magnes Sisters ... read about most of these designers elsewhere.

Can't remember if Kale handbags was mentioned.

I shall tell you soon :yes: Will you be including designers that aren't new but are great designers? Like Hester Eeghen from Holland?


Love the look of this briefcase:

I'm enjoying my ko.des convertible bag (which I learned about from someone on this forum) from Kate O'Riley in Brooklyn. I love the look and functionality of the style -- the option to wear it as a shoulder bag or to secure the shoulder strap beneath the bag to use it as a hand-held (or shoulder) bag.
