I keep reading how Hermes quality is amazing- the leather, workmanship, stitching & so on.
But for those of us who can't afford the Birkin & Kelly & can't play the Hermes game (which makes the bags even more costly), what brands have similar quality but more affordable & accessible/approachable?
I'm interested in solid well made every day shoulder or top handle bags that are very lightweight but won't slouch & don't need to be babied.
Nothing with obvious logos either; no totes.
I don't care for chanel or lv but I admit to being shocked when I read threads about the crooked stitches, poor quilting or other quality issues. What bags don't suffer from these?
