I like Tiganello, they always have them at Marshalls and they are really well made for the price. I have gotten a couple of them through the years.
Roots leather bags by far.
And it's not just because it's made in Canada either (which is always a plus!) but the quality of the leather and work put into making a bag is unrivalled at its price point (generally ~$100-350). I have more expensive bags (Alexander Mcqueen leather tote that cost me over $1000) but they're SO heavy, and the leather isn't as good as you'd expect considering how much I paid for it.
Roots bags are so sturdy and they're feather light, but you can tell from the feel of the leather that it's quality made. Plus I love the little extras like a year warranty for stitching, re-dying options if the leather starts to fade due to long sun exposure (I have Roots bags that are 3+ years old though, and despite me being out in the sun for long periods of times, there is very very little fading), and even customization options available if you order through their online site (like if you wish for gold hardware that one of their bags has but on another style of bag, then they can make it happen!).
As you can tell, my love for Roots knows no bounds XD

Brahmin! I love this brand and own many of their bags. Not many people have heard of Brahmin which is a shame... I think people are missing out as their bags are made very well and I absolutely adore their bags, the quality is excellent!
Me too!! I've even washed mine in the washing machine, and the leather held up just fine!!! They are really nice.
Puntotres ... at least some of them. They're made in Spain, and once in a great while I run across one or two at a local TJs. They're not as ornate as some bags, but the leather is really, really puddly (at least on the two bags I have), and instead of a D-ring inside, they have a leather "attachment strap" with a chunky lobsterclaw on the end. (Again, at least on the two bags I have.)
