I did a search for "favorite brands" and didn't see a thread on this yet. I hope I am right.

Topic is in the title.

My 5 favorite brands (in no particular ranking) are:

Fossil
Dooney & Bourke
Louis Vuitton
Prada
Lucky Brand



Contemporary:

1 Michael Kors it’s classic, versatile and very good quality.

A lot of their bags you can take them from day to night. You can dress them up or down without problem. I also love how often Michael Kors gets inspired by high end designers so you feel like you are getting a designer bag for half of the price.
Another thing I love is their price point and how can get great sales at The end of the season.

There is a lot of variety In everything in type of bag and occasions.

2 Coach. It’s durable leather and soft at the same time. Their NewYork brand sometimes it’s a little expensive for being contemporary but you know you are getting high quality with them. I think Coach is the highest quality in the contemporary brands.

3 Rebecca Minkoff, very nice quality though their style is very rock star hehe, nice for clubbing or bars but not that good for a more formal event. I love the bags but too trendy sometimes.
But great price point here.

4. Kate spade
Super high Quality ad durable but too focused on the young market and something their colors are too vibrant. It’s not that I’m old but i prefer a more classic look.

5 Tory Burch all very nice bags just a little too high price for being a contemporary brand.


High end designer brands

1 Louis Vuitton
It’s super classic but it still feels trendy. Super durable bags, great variety of styles and definitely versatile specifically the Favorite MM and the Alma BB.
With them you can definitely get a bag which you can dress up or dress down not need to baby them. They are for every age.

And with their iconic bags like the speed dee and never full you don’t worry about them getting out of style.

2 Channel
Very classic and super high quality but their lamb skin bags have the risk of getting scratched so these are like you would only take them out for special occasions. Still if you get the class flap you will be sure to never be out of style with it.

3 Saint Laurent

It’s the most Feel young of the high end brands. It’s a super rock star look but unlike Rebecca Minkoff they have some styles that can look a lot more formal.
The only downside is they don’t have really iconic bags. Well maybe now they are getting one with the Sac de Jour which gorgeous and that tempted me to put this on my number 2 but it’s a brand mostly focused on trends.

4 Dior
It’s a very nice and feminine brand they have a few classics like the lady Dior but too trendy for a high end brand

1. Louis Vuitton- There's just something about that monogram canvas. I know it's played out for a good number of people but I'm still really very much in love with that design.
2. Gucci- I love the way Gucci has incorporated certain elements that eventually became trademarks of their brand-- the red and green web stripe, the horsebit, the bamboo. I like it. The bags are very identifiable even in the absence of a logo.
3. Loewe-- I love that this brand is still somewhat under the radar but that it has been around for so long. Currently trying to get my hands on an Amazona.
4. Givenchy-- Pretty much because of the Nightingale and the Pandora
5. Bottega Veneta-- The most beautiful leather bags, IMO. Not much to look at online but incredibly gorgeous, IRL.
