I'm in LA/Hollywood and I rarely see them either. It's all MK and LV, although I did spot a Chanel GST today. I rather like that I can wear all my Bals and not have people comment, they are just so lovely and easy to wear and it doesn't bother me that people don't know. They almost always comment on the color of my Bal bags and how beautiful the color of my bag is, but they never actually know the Bals are designer bags.
It's sad that people are sheep and MK and LV are the herders, their not even attractive bags. At least when coach and dooney were the biggest thing they were soft leather and functional. MK looks classless and LV I usually assume are fake if the girl is driving a 1990 Honda civic. Balenciaga I get to touch my leather, that's why also looking for chevre. I'm a certifiable "leather fondler"
In Sweden we also have MK and LV everywhere! I am getting so tired of it and really turned off. After that I think it is Mulberry (Swedes have always had some kind of soft spot for British fashion, which includes me hehe). But I do see a Balenciaga at least once in a while, but they could of course be fakes.
Tory Burch is very popular as well, more higher in ages like 35+. Coach has just recently arrived here so it is growing every month, just like Rebecca Minkoff (really small brand here, almost noone knows about it).

The mini city are SO CUTE, especially the cranberry red-ish one. Is it oxblood? I'm thinking of getting the metal plate or the metal edge in the mini size as an everyday bag.
I have a mini city and it adorable but I never use because it's too small. I feel like it's my daughter size (she's 9).
Yeah, see that's my hesitation with all mini bags. I live in NY, and sometimes I think a mini is a nice option bc the cross body aspect and because it's inevitable that I will be carrying another tote w yoga clothes in it as well.
I would get the Velo which could hold anything BUT I'm skeptical of any bag w piping that might wear down. Esp the thinner leather. They should really get rid of the pipping and just do the covered edges the way they do on the city on all their bags :/

I love that bag in your icon! Is it the one w the strap, and how easy is it to carry? I've been thinking about this one for a while - esp w the metal edge! 🤗
I have two Citys from 2012 and they do have the open pockets opposite the zipped pocket.
From F/W 2012
Uh oh- I should probably authenticate the velo I just bought then. I bought it from Fashionphile which is usually pretty good, i thought.
