I can also personally recommend Liberty London bags too.
I have a red leather barrel shaped bag from years ago but especially checked if the new leather bags looked as well made. I was really pleased to see that are so well finished. The only drawback is that I can only see 1 colour in all-leather as yet and it's more a Summer friendly colour to me, but they do other versions in coated canvas if people prefer. There is the 25cm tote (525 pounds) and the 21.5cm crossbody (450 pounds) in the same Bonnie print.

I am taking a chance on a bag that was mentioned on this thread a while back. The Del Giudice Roma Sophia. I ordered it yesterday after trying unsuccessfully to find some reviews on-line or on You Tube. They use DHL for shipping, so it should get here soon. I will update you on my impressions when it gets here. I got it in tan which is a color I don't have in my collection. Here are some site photos. I like the minimalistic vibe of it. And I love the way it opens up so much...this allowed me to order the mini size so it would not be heavy. It reminds me of a Dooney that I had to sell because of the weight.

Thanks. The owners sent a nice email about the order, and answered a question promptly. I asked if the leather is full grain. She, Francesca, responded that the textured leather is hammered leather; the smooth leather is full grain. I was not familiar with the term “hammered” leather and never could find a definition on line. However I assume it is top grain leather. And brands such as Armani and Ferragamo have bags in hammered leather. I am pleased that it is not full grain because that makes it much lighter. It will be here Monday, although knowing DHL it could be here today.
I had to go look that up. I am not familiar with Balenciaga bags. It looks exactly like it....for 1/10th the price, yea!

My Del Giudice bag came today and I am simply delighted with it. It is very lightweight. The leather is good, the stitching is good. The interior has a very nice suede lining. There is one long zippered pocket inside. The big long zipper works easily and seems sturdy. The removable strap adjusts fully; when doubled it has a 13 inch drop. I don't wear crossbody, but it seems like it would adjust to fit almost anyone. It came with a lightweight dust bag, a very large shopping bag and four clear plastic stickers with the Del Giudice name on them in black. I am not sure what I would put those on though? Edge painting is very well done. Itt has a ridged edge on the bottom in place of metal feet which I have shown in the photos.
It opens fully, so it can hold a lot for a small bag. I can get a lot more in it than I usually carry.
All in all I am most pleased with this purchase. I think it will age beautifully.
The bag, including 49 Euros for DHL, came to $237 shipped to the US. I think it is worth that amount. If you want a well made, adorable little bag for a reasonable price, you might want to try it.
