Thank you for this. I've never heard of them before but I'm already drooling over the Freda in Chevre Saphir with it's red lambskin lining.

I love this bag and the Ginette! I feel as if the Ginette might be the perfect alternative to my Chanel flap wants. :lol:

I wish more people knew about them. They really aren't well-known and I *think* they will make their bags of different leathers/exotics if the customer wishes.

My vote would be for Trussardi.
https://www.trussardi.com/

I purchased this mini Lovey (in red pebbled leather with red hw) in June of last year. I’ve have worn it over 20 times since and it looks almost brand new with only the faintest rubbing of the red hardware on the bottom feet. The leather looks absolutely perfect. No issues with cracking seams, worn corners, loss of structure, etc. In a word, it’s perfect!

There are many other styles on the site. Enjoy!

I second this. I love Trussardi. I own a blue Trussardi bag and it's so unique! I've never seen anyone with it!

I love this thread! I think the only brand that comes to mind right now for me would be Delage, not to be confused with the shoe company of the same name. I believe they have a store in the UK and Paris.

https://www.delage-official.com/en/

The bags they have are named after French celebrities back in the day (called "ambassadors"). They have a small selection of lambskin handbags (also lambskin lined!) and coated canvas bags. Free shipping, albeit be aware there may be custom charges.

I bought their Lulu pochette and I have used it everyday for almost a year and a half. I absolutely love it and it's still in fabulous condition. Not to mention, customer service was excellent. :smile:

I had them bookmarked for a while, but didn't have the funds to purchase anything, then I noticed a massive price hike sometime in the last couple months. The Freda PM went from 790 to 950! It's possible that the old price had been set that way for years, and it just seems like a huge price hike, but I was disappointed nevertheless.

Wow! I haven’t closely followed their prices in a while, but you’re right, that is a big jump. Even though I think their prices are still much lower than other mainstream brands, I don’t blame you for being disappointed.

Of course Cartujano doesn't deliver to the US (at least not from their site), but they win by virtue of having bags named after my favorite city in the whole country: Cádiz. Oh, the bags are lovely, too. :biggrin:

Perhaps they will in time?

Their bags and everything else was so tempting I wanted to buy it all ;)

That is disappointing! And a HUGE rise all at once.

I received clarification about the pricing last night; I didn’t know they followed Purseblog :biggrin::

What a great thread.
I have had the wicker Hunting Season bags on my NAP wishlist for a while, so nice for summer, but I always find it difficult to make the leap of trusting bags I have not seen in person...

I'd like to add Manu Atelier (I have the Pristine and it's indestructible): https://manuatelier.com/shop.html

There are a few brands I've picked up on from other ladies on this forum, and I'd love to know if someone has their bags.

DeMellier: https://www.demellierlondon.com/

I have my eye on DeMellier as well - someone recently posted an unboxing of one! She also said she'll do an updated review in a month. Otherwise there definitely isn't enough information on the brand online!

Also, @bernz84, that is so nice of Delage to write to you. Also a good business tactic to keep an eye on TPF!
