Structured, high-end bags with an edge?

[serenityneow]

I'm really into the Givenchy Antigona and the Celine Edge right now. Thoughts on other bags in this vein? Obscure designers and less than super-popular designs are welcome, but high quality is key. And the "edge" needs to be subtle. I'm not a fan of rockstud, for example - I find it too much for a day-to-night bag, which is what I want. I have an Antigona and am close to pulling the trigger on an Edge--just wonder if I'm overlooking something else I might love before I do.

Thanks!

YSL Sac du Jour is a nice high end structured bag. Extremely well made!

Have both, love both! I also purchased a black Sophie Hulme tote, which garners tons of compliments. Not many people have heard of her. Next on my under-the-radar list is Valextra!

I'm really loving the Phillip Lim Pashli in medium (yellow) and the Reed Krakoff Boxer (multicolor). Each bag is under 1k, and can be purchased in different sizes and leather types.

What about the Fendi 2Jours?

You might like other designers, too... like Valextra, the Row, Saint Laurent, Victoria Beckham...

GL!

Lucky girl! I have seen Sophie Hulme bags online and like the design, but haven't seen them in person. How's the quality?

Have this and love it, but don't know that I feel like it has an edge. Same with the Sac du Jour - gorgeous bags, though!

Thick, solid leather. I was worried that the polished leather would show scratches immediately, but so far (knock on wood), no issues at all!

How about the Lady Dior? It comes with a detachable shoulder strap so it can be worn like the Luggage Nano, and it will never go out of style as it is an iconic timeless piece.

It comes in an array of very modern colours and textures, as well as classic quilted lambskin. And the quality is stellar.

Seconding the Fendi 2Jours and a Victoria Beckham bag! But if I could only get one, I'd also default to the Edge above these other choices. I'm in the same boat as you - have an Antigona, drooling over the Edge.

Is a Chanel gst out of price range?

Love this thread! I personally like sdj and Antigona. Sophie Hulme is a good suggestion too -quality looks fab! I'm kicking myself for missing out on the ballerina pink tote from a few seasons back.

I like the 2jours and have a black one with red suede lining that is just a teensy bit edgy.

But if you want something that is highly structured but quite edgy try the Alexander McQueen Heroine. It comes in lots of configurations from quite conservative to crazy printed.
