If buying new id never buy Chloe. The price is so high for what you get, and the resale value is so low. No one hardly even bids or buys used unless the price is practically half off or so. I may buy used though.

My burberry too, I bought mine in singapore airport and just realized that when I went back home.
Even so, quality wise its pretty good, maybe bcos my tote used patent leather.
what I dislike is probably LV, i think its overrated and I cant get myself to like coach and longchamp.
and I hate Fake bags the most!! I feel the value of my bag diminish everytime I see someone using the fake one.
I don't like Gucci canvas bags or any branded canvas bags either. Although my Gucci and Burberry canvas bags which I stopped carrying long time ago, are seriously in great condition! Go figure...
This might sound strange, but for some reason I was trying to bring myself to get a Balenciaga bag and I keep carrying them around the boutique but I just can't like the leather at all! On the other hand I truly think that the design is so practical and hip!
-Balenciaga: because I prefer bags with sleek designs and clean lines ..
-Hermes (their Birkin and Kelly): Their bags are stunning in a minimal and beautiful way but they're sort of impractical for everyday use, also the price tag for a leather bag is sort of insane I'd rather buy a piece of jewellery instead, they're made for people with a lot of cash to burn anyway (if you ever see me doing a Birkin reveal know that I won the lottery)
-Anything with monogram plastered all over it! I don't like to look like a walking advertisement.

I've found a number of bags manufactured in China to be of high quality from smaller lines (Harlex, Artemis). Hand-sewn, well put together, nice leathers, etc. I have very well made Coach and Reed Krakoff bags as well.
My problem with it though is the price point as compared to the labor cost. In Europe, the work costs more whereas it's cheap in many Asian countries. Seeing premier designers like Prada, Burberry, and Mulberry manufacture in China while raising their prices is absurd to me. That they are just increasing their profit margin by lowering labor costs isn't acceptable.
Contemporary lines at lower price points manufactured in China (Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Rebecca Minkoff, Coach, Tory Burch, to name a few) make more sense and I'll still buy them if I like the item, but I can't justify spending $2500 on a bag where the person/people who made it will take years, maybe decades, to earn that much.
Celine (what's up with the "wing" looking sides???), Gucci monogram canvas, and LV (too much logo)
