I also love unique bag designs!
Building Block, X Nihilo, and Danse Lente are pretty unique yet minimal. Charles et Charlus seems really nice and classic with clean designs. Skagen is on the lower end in terms of price. Eudon Choi seems to have really cool designs, but they seem a bit hard to get in the US. These are all around $500 too, which is great :smile:
Other minimalistic/unique design brands: cueroandmor, strathberry, lautem, baggu, nisolo, creatures of comfort, lotuff, TL180, trademark, milma, von Holzhausen, NO/AN, elleme, deadly ponies, vereverto, vasic, clare v, little liffner, marsell, ceri hoover

Do you have any Danse Lente bags, or have you seen them IRL? I am super tempted by a couple styles, but am afraid to take the plunge without any reviews.

Sadly, I have neither owned nor seen them :sad: Probably because they are so new they only have one season out! They seem gorgeous and reasonably priced. They're sold on Moda Operandi, Farfetch, and Net-a-Porter as well as their own website so maybe among those four retailers you'd be able to find a good shipping/return policy? Let us know!
EDIT: seems like Net-a-Porter and Moda operandi have free delivery and returns in the US, but the other two don't have free returns :)

No free returns from anywhere for Canada, plus there would be the duties to deal with!

I am obsessed with this colourway though. Obsessed.

I hope it's available in the full size as well.
 
I've ordered two minimal, classic-style bags from Mon Purse. You can customize your leather, color, and hardware, and add embossing if you want. No visible logos. Can't wait to see the quality, but from all I've researched it should be good.

do you like the bags?? quality ok?? i have one in my cart.... kinda scared to click BUY

Hi - just got word from Mon Purse that one of the bags has finally shipped, so I can't tell you about the quality yet. Sadly, the red patent camera bag is still a month away from being ready so I cancelled it because I'm leaving for a six-month trip in 2 weeks and I want something to take with me! I'll do updates and reveal on the thread that's been started about Mon Purse!
 
Sure, I love LV but of late I am attracted to minimal, unique designs. (No logos/ obvious patterns).
I am now looking at brands like Coccinelle (Love). I like some designs by Mulberry and the Whipping Post Tote.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? (No Coach, Kate Spade or Marc Jacobs please).

did you end up getting one? which one did you choose and how do you like it? and some ralph lauren bags look very nice
 
The mini Givenchy Pandora bag is just over $1000, but it's minimalistic and pretty unique. I recently got the medium and have not seen it in person on anybody else yet. Granted, I don't live in a major metro city like SF, NY, or LA.
