Current Good Quality Fair Price but Little Known Recommendation Thread

Wondering if anyone has tried Von Holzhausen bags? They have leather and a new material called "technik" (vegan) leather. I am intrigued- I like the mini duffle but they're all interesting:

I'd be curious to know if they're heavy.
Great mini haul, congrats!

They do not feel heavy to me, but I have not used them. Also, the Lola comes in a smaller size called petitlola.

How interesting that the designer came from the auto industry. The shopping bag looks sharp. If you purchase a bag I hope you provide a review for us.

I have wondered about them, as well! Definitely would like to learn more if anyone here already owns one - the "technik" leather sounds interesting/I want to believe it's lovely.

I just bought my first roots leather bag. Ive been wanting to buy any of their canadian products but i could never afford it. So when i spotted this small prince leather venetian bag with 30% off i immediately bought it. I seldom see roots bags go on sale! I heard the tannery where they get their leather is the same that does hermes and prada! The prince leather which is exclusive to roots is so soft to touch. I love it. Im a fan of kipling bags! Its best during the rainy season. Whats great with this reasonably priced bags is that it is a care free bags you get quality products for low prices.

I ordered this little cutie from NAP in their summer sale for 50% off. I had been looking at it for a while so when it came on sale it seemed the right thing to do. Its by a brand called Muun who seem to predominantly make handwoven straw bags which have a cotton inner bag. I'm not too keen on straw bags, but they also make a few leather styles. These bags are mostly made in France and are handcrafted, what ever that means!
I was a little anxious to see what the quality was going to be like, but have to report, it is VERY good. I'm very very happy with this little black bag, I really am. The leather feels lovely and is I would say a thicker lusher version of a Mansur Gavriel leather. It feels heavenly to hold in the hand. I'm all about how a bag feels when hand held. And whilst it is small, it holds just what I need. I got my sunglasses in their case, a small purse, phone, lipstick and keys.
The cotton liner is made of a lovely quality cotton and is useful for securing the contents. I am beyond happy with this and would recommend. There will now be some pics. The last one is a size comparison with my Speedy 25. Have to add that the leather smells divine too!

A couple of TPFers have already boug ht from them! You can check out their thoughts here https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...m-those-who-already-own.958298/#post-31100595

I still have my VH handheld bag and love it, but it is the leather one. My daughter made off with my while shopper, like TotinScience's denim one, and I have not replaced it, but I at some point. I love the look, the feel and the ease of maintenance of the Technik leather. Plus I like the fact that they donate some of their profits for a good cause.

I think Nat et Nin have been mentioned a couple times on the forum. I learned about a lot of great French brands from TPFers! I'm not sure about quality but it seems like older posts are positive, and the prices are about €100-€300. Here are some of my picks:

Someone here mentioned Del Giudice and because they are based in Rome, and that's where I live, I went to check them out the next day and !! I made a special order for Anna 26 with gold hardware in tourmaline colour (it's new for this spring) and it came in under 2 weeks. I absolutely love it, I can not believe it was only 275 euro The quality is on the same level with my high end designer bags! Plus, I emailed with the owner (one of the brothers, as it is a family business) and he was very very View attachment 4054384 nice.
P.s. and you can customize your bags the way you want (add pockets, change hardware color, interior lining and etc) ...I mean... View attachment 4054372

I love your bag, great choices! How has it held up so far? Could you post some modeling shots, please? I am thinking about an order myself... Are you happy with the leather lining, do you think it is a lot heavier than the fabric one? Would love to hear more, thank you! [emoji295]️

Anyone have any experience with Ecco handbags?

I've their Belaga saffiano tote and to be honest I was surprised positively about excellent quality. I used it as a work bag carrying heavy books and laptop daily. It still look like almost brand new after 5 years. I regret not buying another one in black when they were available. They have lauched similar model later but the quality is not there.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Oliveve yet! I created an account just to post, to finally contribute to the Purse Forum community! one of my all time favorites has to be the Oliveve Zoe Tote. They are on sale now! they're soft and slouchy but structured at the same time, and the leather is really great quality. They're having their spring sale now, enjoy: https://oliveve.com/

I was checking out this article on Milan fashion week this past February, and found a couple of brands that stood out to me. I recommend checking that article out - it covers mainstream brands but also a LOT of lesser known ones as well.

First, Orciani. This has been mentioned a couple of times on the forum, but not for the last few years. Seems like the owners are happy though! Personally, I think the quality and designs look beautiful, and I definitely see myself buying one of these one day.

Borbonese has also been mentioned a few times on the forum, but again, not for the last couple of years:
