In Germany:
Liebeskind Berlin ( http://www.liebeskind-berlin.com )
This was one of the brands that started my handbag obession a while ago when they were not so common yet. Now everyone has them over here and prices are increasing, which kind of made me move on. But I still have a few of their bags (which I have been wanting to add to my showcase for a while). Their designs are edgy and great, the leather is fantastic!
And: They have the most amazing shoe collection (which still like to buy) ♡♡♡
FREDsBRUDER (http://www.fredsbruder.de/) or Aunts & Uncles (http://www.auntsanduncles.de/) are other German brands. I like them as much as Liebeskind, but don't have any of their bags. Yet.![]()
Yeah, totally forgot those because I do not own any (often a bit tooo masculine for my personal taste), but GREAT bags anyway!!!
I like FREDsBRUDER a little more, because of the exact same reason you mention.And - Aunts and Uncles are heavy.
As I think of it, BREE (http://bree.com/) or Picard (http://www.picard-lederwaren.de/) are from Germany, too.
And let's not forget about George Gina & Lucy ( http://www.george-gina-lucy.com ) which are German as well. Huge trend a few years ago (and the first bag I spend more than 100 Euro on). But now seen much less often, and I think I also saw some on American/Canadian celebritys some time ago, so maybe a bit more internationally known...
BIG uuups from my side. I have 4 GGLs and totally forgot them to mention here.
Yes! My first GGL was a gift, my second one I bought myself and it was also my first bag I spend more than 100 on.![]()
Those were my first addiction in handbags and I had a ton of them, great workhorse bags! At the end of 2013 I parted with most to fund another purchase, but I still have a Clutch and one bag from the Britannia Rules collection I love tooo much ♡♡♡
Yes, they are! And they are at the same time great fun bags. I used to love them a lot, but I was a little bit overfed, when everybody had them. Now you don't see them so often anymore (at least around here) and mine are slowly starting to see daylight again. But I think I might part with two - they are too heavy for my liking.
The Britannia Rules collection was really nice!
Here in Denmark, Decadent is rather popular:

The leather is really thick. I havn't got one though.
