If I'm not buying Hermes, the designer I turn to most often is: (poll)

I have 3 Loewe bags and the quality is excellent, beautiful leather good quality hardware.
Is it as good quality as Hermes? hard to call...its MUCH better than Chanel, Dior or YSL that much I can tell you.

Loewe quality is excellent, I agree with @maxroxxherhandbags. Wonderful leathers. The only issue I sometimes have (but I am super picky on that particular element) is that I’ve seen bags that had a bit of messy glazing. However, even H messes this up sometimes as I had to realize last year. Loewe is just not as neatly done as H which I would not expect for the price point, but still much better than Chanel and LV.

Thanks to both of you! It's reassuring when H lovers agree that the quality is excellent.

Even though I have more H than any other designer, it's not a matter of, "well, my second choice is..."
If I'm in an H mood, I buy H. If I'm in a Gucci mood, I buy Gucci. If I'm in a Chanel mood, I buy Chanel, and so on. I just happen to be in an H mood quite a bit.
