I am looking for lesser known (none of the sub-forums, of course) bag in the range of 300 to 700 that is great quality, wonderful, but something unusual, different. Those seem to be my favorites historically. I hate to carry the same bag or designer that you run into every time you go out. I love a bag that says quality, but is different, or unique and leaves them puzzled as to what it is and where you got it.
To give an example, some of my favorites are Marino Orlandi, which I have collected for years. I also like Leatherock and have two of them, one leather and one suede, and a Tylie Malibu which is a bit more modest and reserved than my Leatherock bags. I have a Falchi (not Chi) and and a wonderful huge Billy Bag satchel which is gorgeous, but terribly heavy to carry for long. I also have a few Rafe New Yorks and Cole Haan bags, which I seem to use most of the time. In the past, I have owned gone through stages with Lancel, Tumi, Biasia, and of course Coach .
I do not love a bunch of hardware dangling and jingling around, like Makowski, Kathy, and Charm and Luck.
Do you have or own a favorite lesser known designers that leave them wondering what and who is that?
