I have a few MK bags and while I don't really have any complaints about the quality, I would NEVER purchase one at full price considering they are always on sale everywhere I go... I also am not a fan of MK anymore because they are so popular. It sounds bad but it's true. 
I find Tory Burch WAY overpriced for the quality, so while I like some of her stuff I would never pay full price for that either.
Kate Spade bags/wallets have never appealed to me, so I would never buy one. Rebecca Minkoff bags seem really cheap and a lot of them seem like pretty blatant copies of higher-end designer bags...
As for premier designers, I only own one Givenchy (mini Antigona) and the quality seems decent enough, but frankly I think it's overpriced. It's a gorgeous bag and I adore it but it's so small that the $2,000 price tag seems a little excessive. Oh well.
I've never liked the look of Balenciaga bags. I prefer structured bags personally, which is why the Givenchy Antigona was so appealing to me

I have never seen a Balenciaga bag I'd ever consider buying...all the straps and the choices in leathers just aren't my aesthetic. Some of them even look kind of cheap considering their price point. I also don't ever see myself buying a Prada bag - I've heard too many stories of bags breaking and falling apart quickly and awful customer service. Some of their bags are gorgeous but there are many other designers out there at that price point I'd rather give my money to.
Goyard, balenciaga and Dior. Goyard because I already have one and its quality is terrible, balenciaga because of its aesthetics and Dior because I saw Alex of hrh recently post a video of her Dior bag which was already falling apart. Not impressed. Oh and mansur gavriel because I have owned two and they did not hold up well after a short period of use and their prices have skyrocketed since becoming popular and I do not think vegetable tanned bags are worth that price! And like the PF poster above - likely no canvas bags from LV. The price point has gotten crazy given that it's a canvas bag. Finally no Gucci canvas either. I've had two and one had its stitching start coming apart after two months of use along the top of the bag and I had the handle fall off another one. I have thought about the marmont but I think Gucci is overhyped now.

Hmmm. Well I have to really love a bag before I buy it. Or at least love the picture. I like unusual looking bags a the Chanel classics. The bags I am really not into are anything from Balenciaga, LV, and Celine. I don't feel they are interesting enough for me. But that could change as my taste changes through the years. Right now I'm fixated on Chanel, but that might change too.
Chanel - don't get me wrong, they're stunning bags, but every time I try to wear one it looks like there's a hostage situation going on. Some things just can't be forced ...at least not gracefully.
I will never purchase another Chanel bag - I own two vintage bags (they're vintage now, that's how long I have had them, lol) and I cannot believe how expensive they are now. Chanel shoes are super comfortable and I really do love them. Chanel ready to wear - can't say as I never tried anything and my lifestyle does not justify it, but one day I will try on and consider a classic Chanel tweed.
I'm not sure if you guys are still interested, but I've just uploaded a video about the Bulgari Serpenti Forever bag. I found the same thing when I was debating if I should buy it or not (that only sponsored bloggers talked about the bag), but I took the plunge anyway. I hope the video's helpful!
Here it is:
Huge Bulgari fan. Your bags are gorgeous! Especially that blue! Thank you for sharing.
I don't think I'd ever buy a Goyard because I don't find their prints attractive, and Hermes is just too expensive to justify.
I have many Chanel's which I bought years ago and now many LVs which work well with my current lifestyle. I don't think I'd buy a new Chanel today, though, they are too pricey as well. When I purchased mine new they were less than 1/2 of today's prices.

Goyard for me also. Just don't find it worth the price. It looks cheap to me.
