This is great thread. Although many hangbag makers are high end and expensive, If you go for resale value you should probably purchase LV. They are easier to resell and always fashionable. The other lines can be trendy.

I'd put Chanel ahead of LV and maybe some Bottegas are there as well. There's a GORGEOUS new Chanel coming out this F/W retailing for $14k.
Hermes is at the top of the food chain, but I don't care for them . . . the priciest isn't always the most beautiful to everyone!

I so agree with this - I don't care for Hermes, too conservative for me and price does not dictate personal taste.

wow, i know there are alot of LV lovers here, but i honestly (no offense) do NOT consider their bags to be "all that." to me, LV is SUPER HIGH SCHOOL/freshman yr of college.

i think the fact that there are a million LV fakes and "Everyone" seem to be carrying LV something (even those without any style) is such a BIG TURN OFF for me. And, quite frankly, i dont think LV has been producing any impressive designs neither. all their new things are just some modifications of the monogram...its quite depressing.

I think LV does an excellent job making their brand so famous and successful. The good indication, abeit very bad one, is that there are so many fakes on street. That alone is enough as a clear indication that most ppl, if not all, accept LV as one of the most famous and luxury brand of handbags. In my mind and limited experiences with handbags, I would rate them as follow:

1) Hermes
2) LV and Chanel
3) Gucci and Dior
4) etc.

I'm sure there are many brands out there that I've never heard of and don't even know exists. But I'm sure for most normal ppl, LV is the top of the luxury handbag. It is like Rolex which is the most well-known and successful luxury watch brand but is considered by most watch collectors as a mid/high range brand (PP, AP, and Vacheron being the top brands for most ppl).

:roflmfao: I must admit I agree here. I love the LVs I have, but there is nothing new and exciting about LV designs really. And the fact that everyone and their mother has a fake is just beyond irritating ot me and kind of just lowers the allure of the bag. I know some people think that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but in this case I have to disagree.

hmm, I would base the heirarchy on availability of the product:

1) Hermes
2) Chanel
3) Chloe
4) exotics/limited for: lv, gucci, dior
5) balenciaga/goyard

That's sooo interesting about Bottega Veneta, I had one of their bags and it totally fell apart on me so i wrote them off years ago. However, I might want to look into them again.

Even though I own a very few gucci and LV, it's really hard for me to get into those brands because i see soooooo many people wearing it, it makes me run the other way... (I feel exactly like miss alice )I am however getting a python gucci tote, because i think it's one of those pieces that not everyone can pull off.

I think its more down to an individual bag, as opposed to an entire brand. For example, I don't think anyone can really put canvas LV pouchette(£125) above an Asprey Aligator bag(£3K+)? or can they? I personally don't. I think there is a specific bag hierarchy, not a brand one as such.

and of course, it changes from season to season.

it would get SO tedious doint it by bag IMO. There's a new bag on the market evertyday. . .
by brand may not be quite as accurate but it's SO much easier!

Also, I find that *most* brands of this caliber are fairly consistent quality wise.
The only brand I really hear quality complaints about is B-Bags and that seems to be becuase the leathers are so inconsistent.
