Bottega Veneta is my new number one: the bag feels luxurious inside and outside, the leather is super soft, and the design falls nicely on your body Valentino is the next one: great edgy/fun design (rainbow! Rockstud! Colors!), really great thick leather, gives you that chic glam look when you need one Prada is my 'office classic': Saffiano leather keeps you worry free and looking crisp all day long, shape does not change no matter what you throw inside Louis Vuitton because the canvas bag is the lightest.bag.ever! Never mind the logos, your shoulders need rest sometimes! Coach because there is always something interesting when you are 'low' on budget but craving for something, and the leather is amazingly durable --- my first coach bag is about 10 years old!
Another change for me! In no particular order of preference.
Dooney & Bourke - quality leather and canvas at a bargain. Many distinctive designs. Prefer their smaller leather bags.
Longchamp - a new love to me. Love the variety of their Le Pliage and their leather bags. Quality, value and beauty! Strong but lightweight bags. Very good customer service.
Louis Vuitton - although more than I like to spend on a single bag, this designer has never let me down. Def enjoy the canvas and yes, like the monogram!
Mulberry - new to me. Not a huge variety of styles but the leather is gorgeous and appears to just get better with age. Time will tell. Good customer service. I could be tempted by more.
Furla - beautiful leather and I don't have to break the piggy bank!
Chanel (classy, elegant, timeless)
Celine (love the minimalist yet chic aesthetics)
Balenciaga (my City has been my holy grail for years, and I adore the edginess of the brand)
YSL (hoping to get a tassel clutch next!)
...I'm not sure about the fifth, actually. If I have to choose, probably Kate Spade. Yes, it's contemporary, but oh so fun!
Balenciaga- love the beautiful colors, edgy design, and functionality
Givenchy - unique and high quality
Gucci - like their leather and bamboo handles, and the classic equestrian flair on some of their bags
Chanel - don't own any (and not sure if i ever will, the prices are getting so insane), but they are beautiful and classic bags Fendi - also don't own any but admire many of their designs
