If you are looking for new, then depending on brand/style you may be limited.
But if preowned is acceptable.......then there are so many options.
What are your requirements? Style, brand, new/preowned?

You know, I use to hate LV canvas bags. Then I bought a Neverfull GM in DE. I see the appeal. It's the most practical bag I own, and it was under $1,500.
Another option are Tiffany bags. I know they're not talked about much here, but the leather and workmanship is excellent.
You can get some of their totes, satchels or hobos for under 1,500.
I bought my black tote for about 900.
My favorite are Balenciaga city bags. The ones in regular hardware use to be $1,495 but they recently had a price increase so they're now $1,835. You can get some pre-loved ones in excellent condition for less obviously.

+1 to LV canvas (Speedy and NF to be more specific). Under $1500, practical and durable. +1 to BPC's suggestions of Tiffany and Balenciaga City. Don't own a Tiffany bag personally but I've heard great things about them and they have plenty under $1500. Bal City can be bought pre-loved for $1500 or less.
I also like Ralph Lauren's bags from the Lauren line. Under $1500, good quality, and the styles are very likeable. Furla has many bags under $1500 and they are of good quality as well (both RL and Furla have saffiano bags for a fraction of the price of premier/premium designers' saffiano bags - they have some for less than $300). If you like nylon, Longchamp has many at over $100. My favorite is the Planetes line but it's being discontinued.
There are many options for bags $1500 or less. Most bags from contemporary designers will fall under that, as well as some bags from certain premier/premium designers (LV Speedy/NF, etc). If you buy pre-loved, that opens up even more options. As far as those I would recommend that fall under that price range, those would be the ones I mentioned.
ETA: I can narrow down the options further if more details are given as far as preference goes, but OP did mention she was being vague on purpose. Hope I was still able to help.

Fendi By the Way grande satchel in turtledove (grey)! A little over 1500 at 1750, but with discount/points on a dept store card I bet you could get it more around 1500.
love the look and should be nice color for fall/winter
Wow!
I actually love this bag!
But have you had problems with scratches?
I used to be obsessed with the look of the LV, but here in Lausanne, Switzerland - EVERYONE has them. I mean everyone. So it's really turning me off from getting one while I live here
I just checked!
I love their Peyton Satchel! it's gorgeous!
a Tiffany's would match with my legacy engagement ring
Have you had any issues with your tote?
No issues. But it's only a few months old, and I alternate bags.. a lot.

I'm in NYC. LV canvas bags are part of the scenery here. You can't go more than two blocks without seeing one (real and fake). So yes, I totally understand.
But the truth is, there's a reason so many people use them- they really are durable, much more so than leather. They're also very light.
I was in Florida for two weeks. Took my LV to the beach every day and the bag is still in perfect shape. I would never take my Bal bags, or even my Tiffany tote to the beach.
Another vote here for Fendi By The Way - love this bag! Being petite I went with the piccolo (small) size and it's "only" $1400. She's plenty roomy, light as a feather, very comfortable, and the leather is durable - I'm not worried about scratches with her. Check the thread in the Fendi forum (I have a few mod pictures there as well)
