B. Makowsky and Perlina. I purchased a couple of these bags from TJ Maxx and I absolutely love the quality.
Most underrated bags you love?

Kooba definitely. They're starting to get a little more popular, but I think for the price and quality, they could be doing much better than they are!
Perlina is really great! I have several. The leather is really soft and nice.
You're right, Perlina bags are awesome
. Normally I change my handbags weekly, but because I love my Perlina so much, I've been carrying it for almost 3 weeks now. I don't even carry my LV bag that long.
Love this thread! I have two:
My MZ Wallace Frankie in Plum, as I completely underestimated the awesomeness of a good quality nylon bag with lots of pockets. One of my very favorites, great color, and the PERFECT travel carryon. I think every gal needs a nylon bag in their collection. I don't use it everyday, but I turn to it more than I expected.
I also agree with J crew. I have had good experiences with their leather bags, and I love their general bag style.
Finally, I think Longchamp leather bags are underappreciated. I abstain from the Le Pliage debate, as I have never been a fan due to the lack of pockets
. However the leather bags are wonderful. When recently traveling in Europe, I stopped into their boutique, and I was blown away by the newest collection of the Cosmos line leathers. I also love the classic Roseau line. Can't go wrong.

Ralph Lauren and Luana. The leather on my Ralph Lauren Whipstitch Hobo is absolutely amazing and stands up to rain and heavy usage. It''s extremely lightweight and doesn't bear heavy hardware, hangtags or logos. When i'm carrying it, I get folks asking me who makes the bag. The same goes for my Luana Croco Nadine Satchel in Wine. The leather is thick and durable and smells divine. I also get folks inquiring to as to where I got the bag and who makes it. I scored that beauty a while ago at TJ Maxx for $189.00.
I agree with Dooney & Bourke and Kate Spade being underrated. I have both types of bags, and they're very good quality...especially Dooney & Bourke. Great leather and sturdy! Also, as far as totes, LL Bean have great totes...the classic canvas, of course...but, also really nice leather ones. Lands' End also have nice totes. I think LL Bean still makes them in Maine.
Totally agree with Jcrew. Their bags are getting better. Love the slouchiness of your bag!
Much obliged. Using it today and love how it gets slouchier with use yet still durable. It's a great looking bag for when I don't want to use my higher end bags. It's comfy too especially when toting DS around.
Roots.
It's a shame because Canadians are really in tune to them & know their quality so they're really popular, but once you cross the border into the U.S., I hardly see anyone with Roots bags. Their leather is AMAZING. I couldn't believe it when I first touched it because for their price range (retail $200-300, with 25% off sales every now and then) is really cheap for what you're getting.
