Most underrated bags you love?

Belen Echandia. The bags are all handmade and gorgeous. The designs aren't super trendy, and they don't seem to get much respect on here.

I'm getting my first one for Christmas Can't wait!

I like some Kate Spade bags/wallets too. I also have some bags from Lands End I use especially in the summer that I love.

I would say Coach - I like plain leather classic bags . I also love vintage Coach bags - they are classic and timeless and the quality of the bags makes them look good (with care) forever. Peggy

I love messenger bags. They have all those neat pockets, and while you can't really take them to the mall they're fun for the beach and sleep overs.
Way better than totes.

Hi there
I will have to agree on Anya Hindmarch - but then I used to live in UK for long time, and obviously she is huge there. I am not into the whole pic on a bag thing but I have a snakeskin bag that honestly is just perfect.

have any of you heard of Piatonna - a new British label, only really few places sell their bags - quite funky with a Maltese Cross as a trademark? I also love these for something really new.

Regards

Cole Haan, definitely. They're some of the best-made bags for the price point.

absolutely agree on the cole haan...the leather and quality are amazing...

I had no idea so many would say Cole Haan--I agree completely. Just finished a book on handbags, and in it someone in the business said what a good quality bag they make.

Barneys label bags are great! And they are not that expensive. They have nice leather.

Lambertson Truex. They make great bags but I think they don't have a following as much as other designer bags because they are made in the U.S., not Italy or France.

I have some Lambertson Truex bags and they were made in Italy. They are understated and made with great quality IMO.

I agree with a few posters about Kate Spade - I know that she has been trendy for a while, and people don't really consider her line "designer", but I find that some of the pieces are very unique with a great retro feel to them. I love purchasing the more interesting bags every season and love the summer straw/wicker lines.

Another brand, more expensive, that I think is underrated is Tod's. I know that a few people on the forum LOVE them, but not much discussion in general. Great quality bags, and classic styling.
