I totally agree. I'm pretty new to TPF, and I was really shocked at the lack of love/recognition for Dooney and Burke. The bags are beautiful and durable...the craftsmanship and attention to detail is awesome. Oh and the leather, thick and luscious. Dooney was my 1st designer bag years ago, and they've had my heart ever since.
Loewe Amazona is a relief to carry as not very recognizable as the high end brand it is thus, non-intimidating and low profile...for now.
On the lower end, I was in a Roots store killing time and have to say I was surprised that their bags were on par with the quality of my Amazona and a fraction of the price! I didnt get one but will consider if I need a beater bag.
Smythson. I recently got the Nancy hobo in black (50% off post New Year's sale!) and it is beyond delicious, the leather is so soft and smooshy and the purple satin lining is TDF. I'm new to this forum but if I can figure out how to post pics soon I will.
