My favorites haven’t changed much since I last posted here a few years ago. Updated list with the only two brands I’ve purchased in the last three years:
1. Chanel for lovely fabric/tweed bags
2. Loewe for novelty
3. Delvaux for exotics
4. Dolce & Gabbana for bold designs
5. Tie between LV and Coach 1941 for durable daily use bags
And yes, Loewe beat out Chanel - just because their workmanship is so much better. I’d give it all up for Loewe but darn if I don’t love those blasted diamond quilts so much...
