Please check out the Moynat thread! I was at the boutique last week and took pictures of everything there so you can see their styles. Maybe you might see something you like? 
What brand is comparable to Hermes quality?
- Thread starter A bottle of Red
- Start date
Handbags, silks and equastrian offerings for sure. Shoes not so much. But to be fair though Hèrmes is not known as heritage footwear brand.

Agreed with regards to footwear...however, the question asked was handbags.
Definitely want to check them out next time when I am at Vienna.Robert Horn, a small, traditional leather goods manufacturer from Vienna, Austria. Excellent quality, simple designs, very understated, excellent price point. One of their shops and atelier are close to my workplace, so I like to drop by now and then to check out their latest pieces (they tend to stick to a few designs in many colours, and don't follow fads):

Eying those bags for a while now.
Valextra.
I was told by the SA that the leather bags are handmade. They will only have price increment and there will be no discount throughout the year. But the price range is similar to that of H Garden Party/ Picotin/ Evelyn.
The signature Iside is the best to start with. I bought this beautie from Selfridges earlier.
I think the design of metal wares is the point to note. It's just so delicate.
The bag is also light-weight.
They also offer complimentry simple cleansing services in stores.

Do you have any of their bags in your collection and if yes, would you mind sharing a few photos? Some styles/colors are super cute and I LOVE supporting small high quality brandsRobert Horn, a small, traditional leather goods manufacturer from Vienna, Austria.

I’m not the one who originally posted this bag, but can chime in. This colour is called “oyster.” It is a taupe shade, similar to Hermès “étoupe”. I find it can be worn year-round, in all seasons, and comes in both the small and medium Iside. The original post looks like the small. The bag is fully lined in chèvre leather. I’m a huge fan of Valextra.
I would add Fontana Milano 1915 to the list. It's at least equal to Delvaux. https://www.fontanamilano1915.com/
Agree about pre-2018 Bottega Veneta.

Hi, between Cartier and Bottega Veneta wallets, which has better quality. Speaking of other brands, how does Moreau's quality compares to Hermes, Moynat and Delvaux. Are there any brands that actually have better quality and craftmanship than Hermes? Thanks.
If you want a comparable quality to hermes birkin and kelly, your best bet would be to go to a skilled artisan that has worked for Hermes, employs artisan techniques and who has access to a wider range of high quality leather. Serge Amoruso is a great example.
