What bags do you consider to be "stealth wealth"?

[saligator]

I think it depends where you live, too. Here in Scotland, the people carrying identifiable bags, like LV, Dior etc, seem to be the young and flashy. The wealthy hide the fact that they have money and won’t carry fancy bags. You might spot a vintage Rolex, or a beautiful heirloom ring (not diamond, more likely sapphire or emerald), but they’ll be carrying a black, unlabelled, tatty bag! It’s very, very understated.

Awhile back, I commented in another thread--or naybe this one, the same as you just now.

Hermes’ can be considered stealth wealth 20 years ago, but not anymore now.

I think a factor to consider if a brand is stealth wealth is the location. I would like to include moynat, delvaux and valextra as stealth wealth because they are still unheard of in some countries but are very well known brands and sell really well in some Asian countries especially delvaux and valextra.

Perhaps stealth wealth in a global sense are the new brands that are not widely known YET but good quality and expensive like Joseph Duclos snd bespoke bags by Peter Nitz or Mila Jito. I’m sure there are a lot more bag designers who does customization that I am just not aware of.

I feel that with the internet and social media, no brand will stay stealth for very long.

I agree with so many brands listed here. My favorites:

Delvaux
Moynat
Valextra
Joseph Duclos
Asprey
Stalvey
Ethan K
Peter Nitz

I’ve really come to appreciate bags that I do not see every day. It’s nice to change things up.…a Moynat Gabrielle or an Ethan K Alla instead of a Kelly. Or an croc Asprey Darcy instead of a Birkin. There’s so much more out there than the old standbys.

I'm a fan of Ethan K evening bags.. special & if my memory serves me correct, you might be the
first to mention his name.

I carry Mark Cross bags. No one knows (or cares) about them!

All bags, regardless of brand or price, that are made of excellent craftsmanship(especially impeccable cut and stitching) and material.

Well I'd like to say my Ralph Lauren collection bags bec not many people know about them but the bright red patent leather kinda negates the stealthy part
Nevertheless since I adore it I'm including a picture
