What about Nina Perrera bags? I bought one for winter and carried it for months. Loved it!

Don't know if Belen Echandia was in the other thread, but the owner Jackie recently told me that they have been picked up by several retailers in the U.S., including Bendels and Bettina Duncan. More here:

I just bought a bag in a small boutique in downtown San Diego...it's different and gorgeous! It's definitely worth its price (and the cute guy behind the counter gave me a discount too!) 
The black one is the one I bought, and I utterly adore and want the brown one...

I shall tell you soonWill you be including designers that aren't new but are great designers? Like Hester Eeghen from Holland?
Love the look of this briefcase:

Her website is a little difficult to navigate:

Passerby,
I've never heard of Esse - this Canadian line, but WOW...they made a replica of the Kooba Carla which turns me off. Check this out:

As for Canadian designers, I really like Christopher Kon.

Also, Rudsak had some really nice purses at their Fall show. I'm going to find out more info about them. Meantime: www.rudsak.com
That Ko Des is really difficult to navigate. I can only see the one purse, which is cute. I'm gonna dig deeper when I get the chance but for now, I'm going through all these juicy new purse links. Like a kid in a candy store!
Gorgeous! I love the colours. That gold Sherlock is TDF!
Definitely going to check her out. I
small "name" designers. Thanks for sharing Bagnewbie!
I'm not sure if these are considered *under the radar* but I discovered this designer here at tPF and I'm very interested in her bags. Have not seen them IRL but they seem to be excellent quality, nice bags, at a nice price.

Thank you MM, yes! These purses are gorgeous. So ladylike! I read about them in that older thread. I sent them an email yesterday to find out if they are available in Canada. Fingers crossed!
