I haven't read all the posts yet, but shouldn't Valextra be mentioned

Also, LV suhalis, like je Radieux, is a pretty high quality bag.

Better than some Chanels, or anything other than Hermes.

I don't think Burberry is that high up there...

their stuff is made in China by the way- I read a long article about their production and changes in recent years

....and it seems like Prada is underrated. They seem to make great bags with good leathers.

I believe that this invisible hierachy of what's the best brand out there is really just a personal preference. Every brands that are mentioned here both have a long and rich history and great craftmanship. Although some specific bags or lines may be priced higher than others, but it does not neccessary say they are better in quality and design. Everyone has different taste and preferences, so what they believe to be the best is also different. So generally speaking, if by next month Coach launched a new bag with a price tag of 20k, does that automatically raised their brand image to the highest end? Hmm, of course not. So, to conclude this I really think it just really depends on how the individual views it. I hope I'm making sense.

To me (for the most popular bags I see around me):

1. Hermes
2. Chanel / BV (on even footing because IMO - BV for superior yet understated quality and craftmanship, Chanel for their former craftmanship and current notoriety/popularity)
3. Balenciaga
4. Prada / Miu Miu
6. LV

It is not mentioned as it is not popular as other brands because there is zero advertising, not many ppl know about Valextra. If we speak about quality it is definitely on the top among the best leather goods in this world.

Chloe bags are also of very good quality for their price, imho.

Burberry bags are a joke.

There is a Hierarchy of bag but it trully depends on who you ask... Yes some bags are handmade and better quality but the below that it depends on what you like..

LV is no where near the top of this list..

Hermes
Valextra
Chanel
Chloe
Prada/Miu Miu
Valentino

Are to me the cream...

There probably is a bag hierarchy but I wouldn't place it in any particular order. I would preference any Italian made leather bag that is handcrafted in Italy to be above all. Examples that I can think of are Loro Piana, Bottega Veneta, just to name a couple. I'm not so sure all the others belong with these because I'm not so sure they are truly handcrafted in Italy.
