Current Good Quality Fair Price but Little Known Recommendation Thread

[Julia123]

Forgot to mention: I adore that they clearly show the weight of each bag (and even the weight of accessories) on their website. My wonky computer shoulder prohibits heavy bags.

Pickett! I once gifted one of their wonderful backgammon fold up sets to my parents in law, but had never considered the bags...

I must add Pickett of London

They have been going for many years. I have several bags of theirs, some in ostrich. Most ladies bags are lined in purple suede. All hand finished and traditionally made. They also do a custom service.

These are my smallest.

Ah yes, these are popular here. Very light bags!

Must give a shout out to German brand PB 0110, see link below and also stocked by Matches.
I saw some bags at a high end boutique in Berlin, lovely quality (suede linings) and minimal design. The saleswoman told me the label was started by a member of the Bree family (Bree is quite a well known brand in Germany) and that the bags are manufactured in the Czech Republic.

I just happened upon Mlouye, and their bags look incredibly unique and well-designed. I can't speak to quality (hopefully someone here can), but the prices are great!

I've loved the lantern bag for a while, and there's a small thread about them. So far, only one person has stepped forward with a bag by them. I'd also be curious if there are more people who have bought their bags.

Just found this brand on FB! Anyone heard about this designer brand, Lánxn? I love their Marlene Mignon, and Gabrielle Mignon. It looks original-designed, well-made, and the price is very appealing. I am looking for a mini crossbody! Any thoughts?

@jessica1212 wow that brand looks really lovely and what great price points! I like the Marlene a lot! And full grain vegetable tanned leather, yum.

Has anyone tried out Âme Moi? Their prices are a bit high for a contemporary/trendy brand, but the designs really are fun.

I am now obsessed with this adorable barrel bag in bright yellow:

Those are very cute!
This is quite an enabling thread… I'm learning maybe too much?
Just purchased a pre-loved Just Campagne Confort 1 in smooth calfskin - it has a few scratches but they look superficial. With a bit of work, it should look brand new!

I just received this bag from Leo & Violette today. It's absolutely stunning. The leather is divine; thick, soft, chewy. It's incredibly well made. It has both a handle long enough to go over a shoulder if you want it to, and an adjustable shoulder strap. The interior is a smooth (and silky) camel leather, and it's one of the few bucket bags that closes tightly. No stiffness, just thick, supple leather. There's a leather pouch inside as well that's also lined in camel leather. I also like that it has feet to protect the bottom. https://www.leoetviolette.com/products/le-violette-graine

It easily equals the quality of any other leather bag I have. I would buy from them again without hesitation and cannot recommend them enough. Clearly I haven't carried the bag so can't speak to long term wear, but it's a gorgeous bag. I know I will carry this for years.

I have no time for pictures today, but I'll post some here when I have time, as well as on the thread I created for this brand. If you like any of their designs, do yourself a favour and give them a chance. My alternative was a LV Neonoe in Epi. I've tried both on, and there's no contest. Aside from being a fraction of the cost, this is my first choice. I made the right decision.

It looks lovely! I'm eyeballing their le sac Elegant, which looks a fair bit like the Celine clasp bag, but I think different enough that it doesn't feel like imitation. I'm very curious to see how your bag holds up over time.

Based on my experience with Polène, I've just ordered from another small French company, Léo & Violette. Their bags are made in Italy. The actual cost breakdown of each bag is shown on their site, and they're transparent about their profit. Like Polene, they choose to sell online or through a single storefront in Paris to keep costs down.

The bag I ordered is Le Violette (https://www.leoetviolette.com/products/le-violette-graine)

Was it a pleasant or poor experience with Polene? I’m ready to pull the trigger on the Numero Un but read a recent bad experience on their Facebook
