In my opnion...

1. Hermes
2. Chanel
3. Louis Vuitton
4. Chloe/prada/miu miu
5. Balenciaga
6. Gucci/ferragamo/bally/fendi
7. Marc jacobs/Givenchy

But I don't think there is a 'real' bag hierarchy.. every brand makes different style ranges and releases classics as well as limited edition/seasonal prodcuts!
However, I don't think that LV is very much down the list at all! There is a reason why so many vintage louis items are still being used today~ It's just a very popular brand that makes bags for people with diff. ages and styles.

Sorry, that's way too much work, and besides, any one person here may not be familiar with all of these brands. Is there a reason why you'd like this done?

Wow. I just finished reading this thread and was so immersed I completely forgot I was cooking and a pot boiled over! It was fascinating to read everyone's opinions about quality and craftsmanship. All of the history was wonderful. Thank you all.
My picks are:
Hermes
Chanel
Bal
Miu Miu/Chloe

The reason people rank lv up is because of their popularity but IMO I don't think it belongs on the top list! I hate wearing my bags due to the fact every corner I turn, somebody is wearing the same one!! I also don't see how gucci can be before prada or fendi. I recently bought a gucci wallet on sale for $200 as to buying a prada for $455. Gucci does go on sale and some bag would be $300 off so I don't consider that "exclusive"
Top 7 to me are
1. Hermes
2. Chanel
3. Dior
4. Prada/fendi
5. Lv
6. Gucci
7. Ferragamo
8. Bottoms are Michael kors, coach, Tory burch, etc

Only because those are the ones that interest me and are more known out there

Are you doing research of some sort? Not a typical question for a consumer.

This thread is so long I can't remember whether or not I posted, but I will say "not". Bags are priced at different affordability levels and what suits women. That said, no. Hermes might be among one of the most costly companies but can I say they are the best money can buy? My answer is: "no, again." Some bags' quality is better than others but to say they are far superior would be wrong.

My answer is "No. There is no such thing as a bag hierarchy; just very obsessed bag fans!" ;)

Okay, I admit...I'm super new to the whole designer bag scene. I'm in love with a few LVs now that I never would have given a second glance to three months ago. LOL

So, here's my question...is there a bag hierarchy? I mean, is one brand considered more exclusive than another? Or perhaps the brands kind of go in order of price? Or is it pretty much just based on personal preference?

Not that I generally care what's in style or more in fashion, but I was just curious after browsing some of the designer subcats. I really love some of the LVs and thought they were crazy expensive...until I went into the Hermes subcat. :wtf:

Sticker shock! LOL

Welcome to the World of Handbag Obssessing!!

There is a hierarchy, from my 'extensive studies' and here it goes:

1. Valextra
2. Hermes
3. Bottega Veneta
4. Goyard
5. Louis Vuitton
6. Chanel
7. Dior
8. Gucci

And it goes on and on.. This is based on both price and quality.. Google Valextra.. (at first I thought it was some cheap knock off of viagra!! lol)
