IMO it’s the highest quality. I’ve had a Falabella tote for a couple years, and for whatever reason it ends up being an airplane carry on that I stuff a ton of stuff in. It’s held up extremely well and still looks fashionable
I mean these are all considered “designer” but there’s a very big difference between KENZO (street wear aesthetic) and something that’s truly high end like Hermes.
To me, personally, none of these would be considered high end designers. Maybe Stella but even then...it’s a bit of a stretch. True high end designers have wait lists, they have history to the fashion house, they have classic, timeless designs that have been around for decades.

If it was a history of the company I had to write about , I would choose Versace or Balenciaga.
The 1st would include murders and firings, the 2nd would be a long standing butting-of-heads with Paris
If it was an individual designer , I’d choose Alexander McQueen, because we share birthdays .

It depends on what type of merchandise you are buying, none of them are considered luxury bags makers. From a clothing perspective:
Missoni
Stella McCartney (barely)
Vivienne Weswood
The rest I believe are considered mid-market or economy lines (i.e. Emporio Armani and MCQ)
Look at the price point, that is the differentiation between the designers and their various lines of clothing (i.e. Michael Kors Collection vs. Kor Michael Kors or Lauren vs. Ralph Lauren Purple Label)
I mentioned Emporio Armani and MCQ because they are still pretty damn expensive. At least for me...
I understand, however, you inquired about high end or luxury. Here is the Armani site, this is TBH high-end because it is ready to wear, the luxury Armani is Haute Couture which equates to bespoke types of orders. Think minimally over $5000 and I believe I've aimed rather low.
Perhaps consider a sliding scale or sorts. Tory Burch is expensive yet she at this time does not play in the realm of haute couture yet she competes with Emporio Armani based on price point. Armani Exchange is the economy brand. Dolce and Gabbanna are similar to Armani as they have a full range to offer whereas Rag and Bone is similar to Tory Burch a single price point of competition.
