Oh wow! I'd never heard of Fount before. If their leather is as nice as their clean lines and minimal branding, I'm a new fan. Thanks for the recommendation.

You're very welcome!
I would say most of the styles I have in my collection are quite underrated, I prefer subtle branding, so to start:
- my latest addition to the collection is Lanvin hobo bag, such a functional
- MaxMara Whitney bag, I have it both in small and medium size
- Fendi WOC, a great alternative to YSL or Chanel WOC
- Alaia bags, I have two, one is Cecile bag, similar to one Karlie Kloss is wearing in this picture, another one is a bucket style bag
- Valextra bags, the one I have is Iside mini, but I’m lasting over Triennale bag too
Another brand I like very much is Celine, especially Philo era, I have both micro belt bag and small cabas phantom, but these styles are much more popular than the ones mentioned above

Jimmy Choo - gorgeous designs and excellent quality! I have no idea why the shoes are beloved and the bags get ignored.
Ferragamo is under appreciated in the US (probably because they are not gifted to influencers). Much more popular in Europe and Asia. Their bags are impeccably constructed and leather lined. I have three (Margot, Letty and Gancini camera bag) and each one is beautifully made and of the highest quality.

1. As I understand it, Bally is more popular in Europe and Japan than it is in the States. My first Bally bag is soon to arrive in the mail, and I am really excited.
2. I am on a one-person quest to make felted wool bags a thing on TPF. More affordable, no obnoxious branding or classism, a wide range of designs from minimalist to elaborate, lightweight, an accessible market for small-business artisans, and the animal doesn't have to die. Win win win win win.

Love this bag. Fossil was one of the first bag makes I bought myself in my late 20s early 30s along with Radley before moving onto other brands. Both really well made bags.
I one million percent endorse the Ferragamo post by @ILP above. I have a medium Studio Bag, and it. is. the. bomb. I use it for work everyday, and haven't stopped using it since I got it in October. It's gorgeous leather, exceptional quality, looks and feels plush and chic, and I just adore it.
Other underrated brands imo include Longchamp (their Roseau line is chic af), and Bulgari (which I've mentioned before).

Tod’s pashmy. Amazingly strong bag with many pockets which is why it is one of my favourite travel bags. I took it camping in the desert and it was covered in sand during a small desert storm. I cleaned the sand off and the bag was still intact. Its durability is on par with LV.
Wow! If you took a picture of camping with your Tod's, I hope you will decide to post it in the new Pictures in Adventure Pursing thread.
Here are the bags I find really beautiful but sadly didn’t get that popular or some lost popularity
YSL Sac de Jour. I think it’s a really nice casual bag and the baby size looks really practical plus a a highly durable leather. It’s your nice looking warhorse.
the LV speede and Never full they became so popular at one point that now are underrated lol. I understand they aren’t the nicest looking bags or won’t stand out when you wear them but they are bags which look like highly needed for airports no ?
it’s the essential airport bag. To throw your iPad, chargers and everything which scares you to get in your suitcase And it’s a bag that you won’t be worrying about it to put in the band or if it gets dirty.
now a bag I loved the look but didn’t get much love with influencers the Dior Caro. I found it like a very nice mixture between the classic flap Chanel and the boy bag. I thought the real crazy famous luxury YouTubers would rave about the Caro but no.
non of my favorite YouTubers spoke about the Caro, no shea Whitney, no Carol Chan, no Chase Amy non Of my YouTubers I often check cared about the Dior Caro

I can’t find close up photos of the bags, but here they are. The first one is a denim pashmy, riding camel with me on the way to our Bedouin tent in Wadi Rum desert in Jordan. The small desert storm did not happen here but I put this bag on the sand when we were camping in Wadi Rum because our tent has no floor, only sand and old carpets and our sleeping mattress were on the carpets. So my bag was quite dusty after we left Wadi Rum.
The second one is a pashmy diaper bag that I still like to use for travelling because it has many more pockets . I love pockets . The photo is taken at Borobudur Temple in Indonesia.
I just remembered that I took my LV mahina xs to many holidays with me as well. It is pretty beaten up now but I still love it. The third photo is the mahina xs with me in Delphi, Greece.
