Someone mentioned Lambertson Truex! I can't believe they'd be considered "under the radar" since they are definitely coveted items by NYC uptown elite--women executives and socialites.
I always always
oogle them in Saks! Incredibly high quality leathers, meticulous handiwork, beautiful colors. They really embody the understate luxury and elegance.
Pictures really don't do a justice.
some of the classic bags:
And this one, it's silver PYTHON. Amazing.
and this one is real ostrich (!)
I guess until some celebrities start carrying them around all the time, Lambertson Truex will remain one of the best kept secrets of the UES.

Begeren and HH are definitely under the radar.
I've never heard of Lamberton Truex either so I guess they would qualify as well - but I suppose if the price point is super high, then it wouldn't really work for my article as most of the bags I'm including fall under the $500 range, with a few exceptions...ie: Belen Enchandia. What exquisite purses! Ah, only if I could see one up close.
The other ones that I'm also in love with now as a result of TPF are:
Morgan Oakley
Gadino
Jenny Yuen
SHIH
Ignes
Alric Suba....
Actually, I'll start to hyperventilate if I continue so I'm going to stop there for now.

I'd like to mention Zadig & Voltaire here; this is a French brand that just opened a store in LA last year. Here's a direct link to their selection of bags: http://www.zadig-et-voltaire.com/mo...6_38&parentCategory=accessoires&category=Bags
I bought two of their bags (from a past season; no longer on their website) at the recent Billion Dollar Babes sample sale here in NY -- medium slouchy bags made of soft leather in washed blue and brown colors.
Here are some bags from their current collection:
