Hermes--premier handbag
Chanel--Classic sofistication
Louis Vuitton--lightweight and durable
Alexander McQueen--fun and edgy Prada--structured business savvy
I presume this is in relation to handbags we have actually owned or own so I'll go with Louis Vuitton, DKNY, Michael Kors, Dooney & Bourke, and Coach... Yup I probably committed a sin to most people by putting LV in the same sentence as D&B lol
If we are referring to handbags in general I'd say:
Louis Vuitton
Goyard (thank you for those who mentioned them! I don't think they receive as much credit as they should!)
Hermés
Chanel Prada
This list is forever changing for me...so many beautiful designers out there, but my steady ones are always:
-Dior (oh, Dior, Dior, Dior! I love you so much!)
-Coach (will always remain a favorite, always)
And now:
-Jimmy Choo
-Alexander McQueen
-? (Prada? Balenciaga? Valentino? SL? Yes, probably the last - Saint Laurent - but I can't decide!)
