Mostly between Paris & Singapore and sometimes, Indonesia & Bangkok for private events.
In above 3 Asian countries, there has been a change based on my wildlife sightings. While LVs & Gucci still dominate the main market, I find more locals especially the young and women working in the corporate industry, prefer understated bags, within the bracket of 'identifiable' designer aesthetics.
Eg. Balenciaga, Prada.
I've seen Alexander Wang, Bottega Veneta, Tods, Ferragamo, 3.1 Philip Lim bags on streets/malls. While at private events, Alexander Mcqueen, Celine are sometimes sighted. Chanel Flaps remains the top choice with Burberry, imho, declining popularity, especially in SG. Hermes is omnipresent but during boutique launches, it's highly visible. Sometimes, almost all carry Hermes. For LVs, more individuals are purchasing LEs pieces.
Paris has more varieties and they're more open to less known designer brands. Longchamp continue to be a favourite in all above.

The last time I was in Tokyo, I noticed that Samantha Thavasa was everywhere. It opened a store in Singapore last year. The brand looks to be for young women (lots of pink and cute stuff), but there were some classy leather designs.
Central London and the City area seems to be full of young women discovering Longchamps in every colour imaginable at the moment. And the Mulberry as noted by some others. They seem to have become the affordable go-to options for younger people now. Its getting rather boring...
This is kinda sad, it's like Asian people (and many non-Asians, too!) are trying to out-do each other's spending.
