If you don’t mind shopping online from Asia, here’re my recommendation
1. Soufflé. Very light weight and soft like lamb leather.

2. Viera by Ragazze - interesting design. If you know Boyy. The designer also design for this brand.

3. Theorem - another favorite of mine.

There’re more of an even smaller brands. One that designer works by hand and will personally sew your bags. I just can’t think of the babe at the moment.

I did want to say that ever since papertiger started this thread I've been looking more into these smaller brands than I am looking at big name brands!

These are really noteworthy, thank you. I find the Viera really interesting, oh so different from many and the 'doctor's bag' from Theorem needs to be looked at more closely just admire
Yes, these are both amazing finds. Given my bag time again I could have bought the Sofia in every colour, classic shape and great all round bag. Rather hard to shoe-horn in any bags for me to justify but so so tempting
They are indeed tempting and the prices are super reasonable for being handmade. I am actually thinking about getting a special order for the Anna after seeing another tpfer purchase one.
I am hoping that the owner will let me create a slightly smaller one than the one they have for sale with gold hardware and a leather lining.In the meantime I will wait for my bracelet. It is in transit right now and I can't wait to share with everyone
I am loving this thread!!!! It helps to burst the “it bag” bubble. I still enjoy YSL, LV, chanel but the smaller companies display such wonderful craftsmanship that it opens my eyes to the what I should truly be looking for in a bag. I was in a Salvatore Ferragamo store in Beverly Hills the other day and I was in shock with the low quality stitching on one of their bags and the finishing touches were very unrefined. The Sezane bag I purchased looked much much better. I appreciate the history of a lot of the fashion powerhouses but I almost feel sometimes that they underestimate our desire for quality as they hide behind their powerful brands expecting us to settle for less as if they are doing us a big favor to allow us to hang their brands on our arms as if we are vicariously living a luxury life when we drop the cash on their bags. Don’t mean to be philosophical about handbags but there is power behind it and we all know it very well and we know how it plays out. Cheers to the

Tbh I am also in the market for a premiere handbag. I am so glad I came across this thread though. It has truly made me stop and think about do I really love the brand/quality or am I just buying to say “yes I have that brand.”
I have a wish list that I would like to have because I have been staring at those bags time and again, So I know I truly want to own a piece for myself.
Now do I need a piece from every brand on my list -probably not. Can some be cut down due to quality? Yes absolutely!
Thank you everyone for sharing!

I've generally always been drawn to whatever the crowd *isn't* currently wearing because that's my contrary nature, but spending a few months reading through these posts and researching new brands has completely changed the way I look at bags. There are so many good options around the $500 mark, and it's fun to think that maybe one of them will become The Next Big Thing. Or not, and you'll just have a cool bag that everyone will ask about because it doesn't look like everything else out there. 
Think there are many "options" not only in the handbag market but shoes, clothing & accessories
There are so many new brands starting with people that have worked for bigger names & are now
branching out on their own
For me it is fun to explore & discover some of these new up & coming young designers who do
know how to put out a quality product
Enjoy your finds & thanks for sharing them as well

I'm obsessed with their bags! They have such a Mansur Gavriel vibe. Do you remember the name of this high end boutique you went to in Berlin? I'm heading there next month and would love to check these bags out in person
