I have things from Coach which is somewhat high end to me. I also have a few things from Roots which i think is totally underrated, considering the quality of the products and fact that you can customize it for not much more, the price is a steal! I have a few wallets and belts from fossil which i've been very happy with.
I have a jacket from there that i really like which i don't seem to wear enough. I also fell in love with a leather vest from there last year but waited on it too long and my size sold out. I've looked at their wallets and bags in the past and found the quality seemed little questionable. I'm glad to hear from someone who has experience with their accessories and bags that they are actually good. Perhaps i'll give them another chance.
I haven't been in a few months as the last time i was in the employees seemed more interested in gossiping derogatory things about their ex's instead of doing their job. I work in retail myself i so i don't have overly high standards when i walk in to a store. However, at the very least i expect to be greeted which i was not. Ok, I'm totally off topic now.

Shhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone that I am a closeted Carole Brodie fan from HSN.com. I bought a silver bag for summer all leather and $15.00. I liked it so much that I ordered the burgundy color also. I not going to spend a fortune on a one season bag.
Sorry joining this conversation late but I do not own any of the premier bags they are way out of my price range my most expensive bags are Coach and a few others. Even with that being said I look all over to get it cheaper if I can. The thought of spending that kind of $$$ for a premier bag just bothers me. I feel guilty enough spending the $$ a Coach. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. 
I love the idea of having a handmade bag. That makes it unique & love that idea.
I have a Miss Sixty crossbody bag that I absolutely love.

I love the size, love the ruffle and I got tons of compliments.
However, after extensively use, the zipper broke...
I so want to buy another one but can't find it available for sell any more.
I have LV too but do I get compliments when I wear LV? Actually no....

My absolute work horse is from a Danish mid-range brand called Stylesnob. 
Originally got one on sale for about 160 . Sold it after a couple of years but regret it and got a pre-loved for 48 .
It's so versatile and is holding up very well - it's my to-go-bag whenever the weather is to harsh for my more expensive/delicate pieces or when I'm going somewhere where I don't want to worry about my purse being soiled/wet/squeezed etc.
The only downside is that the craftmanip is not that good. The stitching is a bit uneven and "bulky".
And yes, I know it resembles a certain designer style but it's not a complete knock-off so I don't mind.

I adore premier designer bags, but mid level, low level, and no name designers absolutely produce excellent, cute bags and I have no problem buying them. My current daily workhorse is an Antonio Melani which I gather is a department store designer. It just appeals to me every day and I enjoy carrying it. Plus, it is giant and holds all my crap. My previous daily carrier was a Hobo International, and that thing held up incredibly well over years of abuse.
