I was wondering if any of you preceives a discrepency between bags produced by companies with a heritage as a leather goods company (ex. Hermes, Gucci, Louis Vuitton) versus those who began as fashion houses (ex. Chanel, Saint Laurent, Givenchy). In your experience is there a difference in quality? Do you take this into consideration when choosing a bag? For instance, design aside, would you feel that a Gucci bag has superior quality and construction over a Saint Laurent bag? Or to use a mid-range example, Coach over Michael Kors?
