Like most posters, right now:

Hermes
Chanel

Not sure about the rest... I think Louis Vuitton is a premier brand based on its history and everything, though the fact that everybody has one, fake or real, makes it less special. And I see a lot of people wearing them with bad style so it really just turns me off from ranking the brand very high up. So can you rank a brand whose monogram bags are ubiquitous amongst everyone that high? I don't know about that.

Yes, their is definitely a bag hierarchy. Since people are so concern of status and exclusivity. :wacko:

Here what I view from brand point:

1. Dior
2. Hermes
3. Bottega Veneta
4. Balenciaga, Fendi and Celine
5. Gucci and Prada
6. Chanel
7. LV and Goyard
8. Mulberry
9. Versace and Aquascutum
10. Burberry and YSL
------

Below is I really feel....
Top Tier
Dior
Bottega Veneta
Hermes
Celine

Second Tier
LV
Chanel
Balenciaga
Gucci
Fendi
Prada/MiuMiu
Goyard
Versace
Mulberry
Tods
Ferragamo
Valentino

Third Tier:
Marc Jacobs
Jimmy Choo
Aquascutum
Burberry
YSL (Sorry, I felt the rebanding of YSL cheapen the brand. Ready-to-wear look ugly and lack being luxurious (biggest Pet peeve). New bags seem to lack character and details (not all though and the plain duffle bag is just boring and a bit ugly.)

Interesting. Why do you place Dior above Hermes?

Yes, there is a hierarchy. But, at this point in my life, mine has nothing to do with designers. It is as follows:

1. Bags I wear on a daily basis, to work etc.
2. Bags I have for quick trips to the store, grocery, the post office, whatever.
3. Seasonal bags specific to the time of year
4. My "mudders" ( bags I can wear in rain, sleet, snow)
5. Godawful bags given to me as gifts that I have to hide in the bottom of my closet until I can safely surreptitiously donate them to the local Goodwill

This!

Ok, I really don't get the allure of Hermes. Don't get me wrong I think the birkin is a nice looking bag but I don't get why they are so expensive. I mean, its leather not clad in pure gold.

I think it is all subjective....I admire bags of all shapes, prices and sizes. I have seen very chic women rocking a slouchy Kate Spade hobo just as well as a woman sporting a birkin.....all in the eyes of the beholder I suppose. :)

I have been thinking the same thing lately. I mean, I get that birkins are nice and made well etc etc. BUT are they really worth the price?? Especially since they don't seem to be that special anymore (so many more people have them now)??

I agree and it doesn't look easy to get into in a hurry. Even the wallets are the price of a designer bag :nogood:
