I also would like to recommend Simon Miller, which I believe is an American brand whose leather goods are made in Italy. I bought the Bonsai 20 in pony leather and it feels so buttery soft and smooth. Although I use my black bags most often, I love colour. This one is super-saturated and vibrant and the stitching and edgework is perfect. Can't wait to use it.

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.

Thank you for posting the link! I looked at Orciani, Zanellato and Serapian and especially liked these:

I was told that I should come here and show off my new Orciani bag. I picked it up via Farfetch while it went on sale. Through the years I've always purchased high-end bags (Celine, Chanel, LV, Bottega, and Moreau which has excellent handmade quality like Hermes, but not the Hermes price). I've been given few nice handbags (Coach 1941 and JWHulme), and for some odd reason it never occurred to me to look around for other brands.

When I saw this Orciani bag I thought it looked DELICIOUS. The picture doesn't quite capture the pink right, but it is a peachy pink called pesca. It comes with the same color wide strap, but it is too short for crossbody wear. I was eyeing this color for a while (Prada had/has the same color).

So far this bag brought me many compliments and I found it interesting that a male friend thought I paid close to $1000 for it (he knows about my high-end bag addiction). He thought the bag is very feminine and "cute" but has a real potential to dress up to be classy. I'm very happy with the quality - can't find anything wrong with it and the leather is buttery soft.

Great review, thank you so much for sharing! [emoji1303] A friend of mine has several (!) Furla Capriccio bags with a similar, yummy leather...

I really like the ruggedness of the leather's texture and the robust strap in contrast to the almost ballet-pink of the colour. I think it has great potential for styling in lots of ways.

Thank you too for reminding us of Moreau, another we must add to the list: https://moreau-paris.com/collection/collection-femme.html also available through Farfetch (although I only see the one style available)
