Several of my favorites such as Dooney, Coach, and Linea Pelle have already been mentioned so I will two others that I love---Frye and Roots.

Definitely Marc by Marc Jacobs. I have a Petal to the Metal messenger bag that still looks new after about 3 years of heavy use.

I had been a Coach fan for a long time but have been falling out of love with them lately. So a couple other brands in this price range that I've been interested in lately are Fossil & Roots.

Adding Liebeskind to my list. Nice leather, and interesting linings.
