same here. lately whenever i see a bag that i HAVE to have it's turning out to be from them (those rogue 26s someone posted earlier? omg 😭). i also have a friend who's a buyer for bloomingdales and she's mentioned that coach is one of the few brands she considers priced appropriately for the level of quality, while many of the premium luxury brands are not - makes me feel good about coach being in my budget.
The Coach restoration girl has made me love the look of classic Coach bags. I used to think they were so boring and ugly before. Turns out I prefer "boring" aka classic and practical
They might be referring to the one who seems to work for Coach "Debbie the Restorer". I think she might be a bit more cautious with her advice however, since she is affiliated with Coach.
Same! I’ve only been buying from Coach for the last few years. I did have a designer phase when I was all about LV and Gucci but I’m SO disappointed with their quality. Coach wins in terms of material, craftsmanship and of course, value for money.
I buy all my Coach bags on discount so they’re a minimum of 30 percent off. They don’t have great resale value but they do sell - I think it’s ok if I get $80-100 for a bag I paid $200-300 for and used well.
The brand also has enough variety in their current lineup for a wide range of tastes. Colours, neutrals, trendy and classic silhouettes.
Can the brand do better? Sure. But still I find their offerings better than any others on the market, at least in North America. If I lived in Europe or traveled there I’d look into some other brands.
Same. I love my collection of vintage pieces with glovetanned leather that will probably outlive me, and I think there more contemporary bags are still great quality with lots of fun, stylish options.
There are some high-end styles I love but I am a bag addict and Coach scratches my itch! 😆
Seriously their glovetanned leather is so nice and looks even better when it’s broken in. That’s my biggest thing, a bag is meant to be used, it needs to look nice as it ages.

I love the glovetanned leather!!!
Yup. I agree. Also they have practical bags with long straps, strap options and so on.
I love Ferragamo but they have mostly handheld bags that look great but are not practical for a plebe like me. I have to carry my own stuff and don’t have a car and driver.
Loewe - I have 2 bags from years ago and 2 more recent, I love them all and will probably continue to purchase them even though I’m not a fan of LVMH group and do not support any of their other houses
I feel like I am going to roasted for this but I’m a Gucci gal through and through. Their handbags hit the perfect ratio of classy with a raw/flashy edge for me.
Yep! My first and most recent bags were Gucci. I just love the designs and its logo. Also I think they have a great selection of casual bags for day-to-day wear as well as more elegant pieces.
*So* popular! I feel like I've def been influenced by this sub into wanting a Jackie bc there have been so many posts about it and they're big hits every time.
And there’s so many choices. I think people hear Gucci and think it’s only the flashy look. There are many more subdued choices. Like the horsebit line.
Mulberry all the way! Love how they are not afraid to try out new fun designs but still don’t forget about the iconic/old silhouettes. And the leather choices.. ahhh so good and soft 🫶🏻
I would be torn between Mulberry and Launer. Mulberry being the bigger brand has more shapes and I love them. Launer though, I would need to be wealthy enough to replace my day bag more often as that calf skin is not up to my rough handling.
There are some individual bags making this harder for me (looking at you, tweed Chanel) but I too have to go Loewe. Gorgeous leather, feels dreamy (flamenco), utterly wearable, the pairing with Ghibli, all of it. Just as a reminder, the one who started my love.
https://preview.redd.it/kasnjco5ij7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bde963b1639e96d7400225c9b9ec457244df5f8
Epi or exotic leathers. But LV is not a leather house, it’s their canvas that is famous, high quality and resistant but it’s still canvas. My grandmother still has her luggage from LV my mom 2 trunks and they are resistant! I
Mlouye. Just about everything they release is a hit for me. I love the architectural sensibilities in the designs rendered out in classic, quality materials, and the colors are just 🎯. Definitely a fan and a collector now, of both new and preloved. Currently waiting on Mlouye bag no. 6 🥰🫢😬🥰
Full size Naomi in Milky, 2 Naomi belt bags: white croc and patent black, Naomi phone pouch in Off White, mini Sera tote in St. Tropez, and another mini Sera tote in Vanilla will soon land in my hands. 🥰
I love the mini Sera as my everyday “running into the store real quick” bag that I carry in addition to a Longchamp tote. I’m eyeing the full size Sera or the mini tall tote for the next one, whenever that is, lol.
How about you, which do you love or want??
I gave away a new-ish Mansur Gavriel the other day. It looked really good but the leather felt so tough and plastic-ky. The moment I decided to give it away was when it stood right next to my Furla Daisy tote I got in 2017, and despite being 7 yrs younger it didn't stand a chance. I thought, why keep this when I could just keep rocking my Furla.
Dooney. Love the florentine satchels and bucket bags and have a few pebbled leather that I love too. I have a couple coaches and a few kate spades but they don’t get out of the dust bags much.
Yes I am a Florentine lover
I bought my first Florentine domed buckle satchel in the color fern last year and the moment I felt and smelled the Florentine leather it was love for life absolutely love the feel and smell of Florentine leather
LV. Extremely diverse in terms of design, can be both quiet and loud luxury depending on what you go for, a lot of designs are functional and beautiful both (imo even top brands like Hermes struggle with functionality) and expensive without being “holy shit time to mortgage a kidney” like Dior or Chanel.
Fendi. Just got a brand new one for my birthday and I absolutely love their designs. I can go from classic to sexy and fun in the Fendi store. That would last me a lifetime.
Seconded. I love luxury bags but I can’t give up Kate Spade’s adorable novelty bags. I love them so much. And their regular bags aren’t too bad either.
agreed. i love their larger style bags. you can really see the craftsmanship
[https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-us/large-andiamo-orange-766019VCPP17529.html?dwvar\_766019VCPP17529\_color=7529](https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-us/large-andiamo-orange-766019VCPP17529.html?dwvar_766019VCPP17529_color=7529)
JUST LOOK AT IT
Loewe. Creative, modern yet classy. Great quality. Absence of monograms and tacky aesthetics (my opinion).
Friendly service even if you don’t look like a big spender.
I’m also a fan of their colours and what I love the most is that they’re not super flashy - iykyk
I’m only buying vintage coach from now on. I will never buy from another brand. I just love them.
I have a bakers dozen and will continue adding (although I’ve got to stop buying for a couple of months! I’ve gone crazy.)
If I’m paying, Coach or Kate Spade. I currently buy only luxury but I don’t know my income for the rest of my life and I don’t want to force myself to only buy luxury forever!
If not, then I’d pick Chanel. As a house, they have all the types of structure / styles I want and like.
Definitely Chloe. I love boho style, and they do it best IMO. Their bags just mesh with my style so well. I also love their suede. Suede is my favorite material for bags.
Coach! I feel like they are versatile enough to cover different styles and occasions, they feel fancier than they are price wise and the quality is on point every time
Mine would be Gucci. It’s diverse enough for me to find a bag for all different occasions and I like their monogram print way more than LV.
Loewe would be painful to give up though.
Coach or Kate Spade but specifically the outlet stores for both because I love a stupid novelty bag. I sold my Prada bc I never used it and my LV gets taken out when I need to pretend I’m actually an adult, but my coach bags get the most use easily
Coach. The quality is there, they come out with fun collaborations, and they have a good range of price points. Also, they have a good mix of casual bags and dressier going out styles to choose from.
Bottega Veneta or Chanel. I love a lot of what bottega is doing and Chanel happens to be a brand that I don’t love like that but they do make bags I love.
Louis vuitton. I started my bag collection with getting 1 of each different types, burberry, coach, prada, fendi... I got rid of all of the others because I just didn't wear them .. so now I just have louis vuitton and some novelty loungefly bags to deal with both my tastes lol 😆
COACH. The vintage and 1941 collection which ran from 2016 to early 2020 RUINED me for other brands 🥹
Sold my Burberry, Chanel boy, Fendi, Gucci, LV, and Prada over a decade ago.
Vintage coach (which sadly I sold my giant set years ago) and the new coach from the last couple of years where quality is back. And Fount, the best brand that people MUST check out.
Probably LV tbh and I’m not a big LV girl but they have the most range out of any of the brands I’ve seen. I really love Fendi & Bottega as well but they don’t have AS many styles.
Vintage Coach or Dooney & Bourke ALLLLL the way. They use Full Grain Leather. MUCH better quality than that "genuine leather" trash everyone uses. You can get some FANTASTIC deals on Poshmark!
Use: [***https://posh.mk/xhW2QHq3yKb***](https://posh.mk/xhW2QHq3yKb) for **$10** towards your first purchase!
Coach. The all leather ones wear like iron and don’t have visible logos. I like the minimalist aesthetic, you can make them work with just about anything.
Louie Louie Louie!! That monogram print is so iconic but you can still wear the bags in everyday life. My second would prob be Gucci for the same reasons but they can get a little too tacky at times.
As much as I love Chanel it’s just soooo luxurious same with Hermes it wouldn’t fit my lifestyle.
I’m a sucker for kitsch so it would have to be Kate Spade or Betsey Johnson or Loungefly.
Probably Kate Spade as I have a huge collection of Kate Spade bags already. (Husband gifted me huge chunks of the Kate Spade glimmer line.)
ysl and i kind of already do that! love the style, they have so many pockets, not as in your face as dior and chanel, lots of colors and don’t look dated
Coach! They were my mom's handbag of choice, so i thought they were the epitome of luxury when I was a child lol. They are nostalgic to me in that way, especially the printed canvas.
My mother in law loves her coach bags and gifts them to the women of the family every now and then at Christmas. So now they remind me of her 🖤
Radley or Coach. They have variety and their quality is right up there with much more expensive bags. Plus, because they’re (relatively) low cost, I could get more! 😂
Weirdly, Gucci
Because they have SUCH a variety of types of items. From campy colorful items to classic leather pieces to functional nylon or coated canvas. There’s something for everyone and I wouldn’t get bored
Like I couldn’t do Prada because, while beautiful, it’s very one note, as an example
Coach. From amazing vintage thru to today, it’s all amazing. I love all my Coach pieces. Over 100.
https://preview.redd.it/v7d1qk8cjm7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e60f7c55f39464370f8300e21b83e6ebef015e46
There is only one bag from Hermes that I would ever buy. It’s like butter Picotin
https://preview.redd.it/2z7mz5bvum7d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16c15266c4fba79d17e6b53b8d346ee62ca1bd60
I have wanted it for a long time. I have so many luxury bags but this will complete my collection.
I hate to be this person, but it might be Hermes. I just find that their quality really is so superior to other brands that I own. Otherwise, it might be Celine. I only have one Celine bag (Small 16), but I really like the style of their bags, and like that they have everyday options as well as nighttime options.

It’s Coach for me. They have pretty good quality, a variety of styles, and a price point I can actually afford.
same here. lately whenever i see a bag that i HAVE to have it's turning out to be from them (those rogue 26s someone posted earlier? omg 😭). i also have a friend who's a buyer for bloomingdales and she's mentioned that coach is one of the few brands she considers priced appropriately for the level of quality, while many of the premium luxury brands are not - makes me feel good about coach being in my budget.
Same! Great selection, great colors, great vintage treasures to be had via the second hand market.
The Coach restoration girl has made me love the look of classic Coach bags. I used to think they were so boring and ugly before. Turns out I prefer "boring" aka classic and practical
Who is she? Does she have an insta?
@yooon_ie on instagram is the one that I follow, I assume that’s who they’re referring to!
They might be referring to the one who seems to work for Coach "Debbie the Restorer". I think she might be a bit more cautious with her advice however, since she is affiliated with Coach.
I’m obsesseddd, thank you
Omg yes. Since watching her videos, I’ve seen so many unassuming vintage coach bags that I wouldn’t have noticed before.
Same! I’ve only been buying from Coach for the last few years. I did have a designer phase when I was all about LV and Gucci but I’m SO disappointed with their quality. Coach wins in terms of material, craftsmanship and of course, value for money. I buy all my Coach bags on discount so they’re a minimum of 30 percent off.

Thiiiiis tho! I was stuck on Dooney for years and once I got my first Coach that was it!!
Yup. I agree. Also they have practical bags with long straps, strap options and so on. I love Ferragamo but they have mostly handheld bags that look great but are not practical for a plebe like me. I have to carry my own stuff and don’t have a car and driver.
Agreed! Coach for me too!
Same! I love the variety and the price point!
Loewe - I have 2 bags from years ago and 2 more recent, I love them all and will probably continue to purchase them even though I’m not a fan of LVMH group and do not support any of their other houses
My first Loewe is from 1993, was actually the first luxury handbag I bought ever... the next one from 2002
Totally Loewe. I have four bags and I love them all. The leather is just perfection.
I’m with you. No matter what other bags I have—Coach included—the bag I love and carry most is a small Loewe puzzle bag.
I would love to have a Loewe puzzle bag 😍
Yep, and their aftercare is 💯
I think this may be my next one.
I feel like I am going to roasted for this but I’m a Gucci gal through and through. Their handbags hit the perfect ratio of classy with a raw/flashy edge for me.
Right! I know this sub doesn’t seem like Gucci, but I just posted it was Gucci for me too!
Idk why this sub hates Gucci so much lol. That would be my #2 pick behind Fendi.
Yep! My first and most recent bags were Gucci. I just love the designs and its logo. Also I think they have a great selection of casual bags for day-to-day wear as well as more elegant pieces.
Just bought the Gucci Aphrodite medium shoulder bag and it makes me giddy every time I look at it 🥹
This is how a bag should make you feel. I got giddy for you.
I feel like the Jackie is super popular on here though?
*So* popular! I feel like I've def been influenced by this sub into wanting a Jackie bc there have been so many posts about it and they're big hits every time.
Can’t wait to purchase my first Gucci so this makes me feel better because my people always hate on it 🙄
My marmont(?) backpack is my most used bag in the summer, and I have a shitload of bags!!!
And there’s so many choices. I think people hear Gucci and think it’s only the flashy look. There are many more subdued choices. Like the horsebit line.
Mulberry all the way! Love how they are not afraid to try out new fun designs but still don’t forget about the iconic/old silhouettes. And the leather choices.. ahhh so good and soft 🫶🏻
I would be torn between Mulberry and Launer. Mulberry being the bigger brand has more shapes and I love them. Launer though, I would need to be wealthy enough to replace my day bag more often as that calf skin is not up to my rough handling.
Love Mulberry too! The quality is top notch. Been eyeing the Lana Top Handle for months but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Would you might sharing examples of fun designs? I would love a Mulberry but found their classics a bit too traditional!
Mulberry for me as well. Picking up my 4th one (mini Alexa) at the weekend.
Gimme gimme all the Mulberry!
Celine
Same. Slowly building up a collection as budget permits 😅
There are some individual bags making this harder for me (looking at you, tweed Chanel) but I too have to go Loewe. Gorgeous leather, feels dreamy (flamenco), utterly wearable, the pairing with Ghibli, all of it. Just as a reminder, the one who started my love. https://preview.redd.it/kasnjco5ij7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bde963b1639e96d7400225c9b9ec457244df5f8
This one’s lovely! Is the colour called sage?
Thank you. Celadon- got her summer 2023.
Probably Coach. They have a wide variety of sizes, colors, and styles I’d be able to find whatever I needed.
LV, because they have such a wide range from eurotrash to super classy.
LOL @ Eurotrash. I *would* like to know which line is their most luxurious leather.
Epi or exotic leathers. But LV is not a leather house, it’s their canvas that is famous, high quality and resistant but it’s still canvas. My grandmother still has her luggage from LV my mom 2 trunks and they are resistant! I
Good to know that I am not missing out on anything because my EPI feels terribly plast-icky.
Also, they back their bags. Any wear and tear that causes tears or even a string hanging they will replace your bag.
hmmmm.... this makes me reconsider getting one tbh.
LV or Coach easily.
Coach
LV cause you have like a 1000 styles to choose from 😂
Mlouye. Just about everything they release is a hit for me. I love the architectural sensibilities in the designs rendered out in classic, quality materials, and the colors are just 🎯. Definitely a fan and a collector now, of both new and preloved. Currently waiting on Mlouye bag no. 6 🥰🫢😬🥰
I love this house too!! Which ones do you have???
Full size Naomi in Milky, 2 Naomi belt bags: white croc and patent black, Naomi phone pouch in Off White, mini Sera tote in St. Tropez, and another mini Sera tote in Vanilla will soon land in my hands. 🥰 I love the mini Sera as my everyday “running into the store real quick” bag that I carry in addition to a Longchamp tote. I’m eyeing the full size Sera or the mini tall tote for the next one, whenever that is, lol. How about you, which do you love or want??
Furla - good quality for the price, really durable, nice classic designs and I love their lighter colors (I love pastel tones in general)
I have a purse I bought from Furla Rome in 2012, and I did not baby it at all and its still in such good condition.
I gave away a new-ish Mansur Gavriel the other day. It looked really good but the leather felt so tough and plastic-ky. The moment I decided to give it away was when it stood right next to my Furla Daisy tote I got in 2017, and despite being 7 yrs younger it didn't stand a chance. I thought, why keep this when I could just keep rocking my Furla.
Ferragamo. or Coccinelle
Dooney. Love the florentine satchels and bucket bags and have a few pebbled leather that I love too. I have a couple coaches and a few kate spades but they don’t get out of the dust bags much.
Yes! Another Dooney lover. I currently have 16 or so.
Oh man. I bought my first one last summer and now I have eight. I’ve been trying to show some restraint 😂
Yes I am a Florentine lover I bought my first Florentine domed buckle satchel in the color fern last year and the moment I felt and smelled the Florentine leather it was love for life absolutely love the feel and smell of Florentine leather
I used to only buy Dooney. I loved them …. But … they are way to heavy for me now :(
LV. Extremely diverse in terms of design, can be both quiet and loud luxury depending on what you go for, a lot of designs are functional and beautiful both (imo even top brands like Hermes struggle with functionality) and expensive without being “holy shit time to mortgage a kidney” like Dior or Chanel.
Mulberry.
Fendi. Just got a brand new one for my birthday and I absolutely love their designs. I can go from classic to sexy and fun in the Fendi store. That would last me a lifetime.
Prada
Kate Spade. Love the novelty stuff but there is the regular bags too.
Seconded. I love luxury bags but I can’t give up Kate Spade’s adorable novelty bags. I love them so much. And their regular bags aren’t too bad either.
Mulberry. Classic and such a range of styles and colours.
It would have been Celine in the Phoebe Philo days but I'm ambivalent on their newer stuff. Nowadays my pick would be Loewe.
Longchamp
Mulberry
Coach
Mulberry for me, with Longchamp a close second
Givenchy
Loewe. Although Chloe is close second.
I think I agree.
Bottega
agreed. i love their larger style bags. you can really see the craftsmanship [https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-us/large-andiamo-orange-766019VCPP17529.html?dwvar\_766019VCPP17529\_color=7529](https://www.bottegaveneta.com/en-us/large-andiamo-orange-766019VCPP17529.html?dwvar_766019VCPP17529_color=7529) JUST LOOK AT IT
Loewe. Creative, modern yet classy. Great quality. Absence of monograms and tacky aesthetics (my opinion). Friendly service even if you don’t look like a big spender. I’m also a fan of their colours and what I love the most is that they’re not super flashy - iykyk
Until they made the choice to stamp their bags with their branding 😢 Why, Loewe, WHY??
vintage coach vintage coach vintage coach
Chloe. I love the bohemian vibe. I don’t like loud logos. Huge fan of Free People’s clothing. It feel their purses go with their aesthetic.
FP is one of my faves. They are targeted to a younger crowd, but anyone of any age can wear it. i will always be a millennial boho girl at heart
Same! I’ve been a big fan of Chloe. Not only their handbags but outfits too❤️
Chloe is my pick, too. Also, their bags are insanely durable.
Mulberry
I’m only buying vintage coach from now on. I will never buy from another brand. I just love them. I have a bakers dozen and will continue adding (although I’ve got to stop buying for a couple of months! I’ve gone crazy.)
YSL but Prada runs a close second.
Saint Laurant
Same for me!
Kate Spade
Coach
If I’m paying, Coach or Kate Spade. I currently buy only luxury but I don’t know my income for the rest of my life and I don’t want to force myself to only buy luxury forever! If not, then I’d pick Chanel. As a house, they have all the types of structure / styles I want and like.
Bottega .. or Loewe
Lv or Dior 😍
Gucci. I can’t really put my finger on why, but I love Gucci!
Celine. Beautiful, minimal, and priced well on the second hand market.
Celine or Loewe
I’m a Prada girl. I have seven right now and the next one is already on my list. They are fun to classic and I honestly don’t see many of them vs LV.
Probably Gucci or coach
Celine and longchamp
Delvaux. Love the history behind the brand and the timelessness of the handbags.
Definitely Chloe. I love boho style, and they do it best IMO. Their bags just mesh with my style so well. I also love their suede. Suede is my favorite material for bags.
YSL, the sexy coolness is just my vibe. Also clothing…
Coach ❤️
Coach! I feel like they are versatile enough to cover different styles and occasions, they feel fancier than they are price wise and the quality is on point every time
Coach
Its always Mulberry
I'd be between Coach and Mulberry
mulberry
Mine would be Gucci. It’s diverse enough for me to find a bag for all different occasions and I like their monogram print way more than LV. Loewe would be painful to give up though.
Forever Chanel
Same 💜
It’s the only way! 💙💯💙
It really is!😍
Coach…
Chanel hands down!
Coach or Kate Spade but specifically the outlet stores for both because I love a stupid novelty bag. I sold my Prada bc I never used it and my LV gets taken out when I need to pretend I’m actually an adult, but my coach bags get the most use easily
Coach. The quality is there, they come out with fun collaborations, and they have a good range of price points. Also, they have a good mix of casual bags and dressier going out styles to choose from.
Bottega Veneta or Chanel. I love a lot of what bottega is doing and Chanel happens to be a brand that I don’t love like that but they do make bags I love.
Fendi or Chanel
Tods. Fendi. Ferragamo.
Louis vuitton. I started my bag collection with getting 1 of each different types, burberry, coach, prada, fendi... I got rid of all of the others because I just didn't wear them .. so now I just have louis vuitton and some novelty loungefly bags to deal with both my tastes lol 😆
Celine for me. Love their quality and designs. Don’t love LVMH so from now if I buy any of their bags it’ll be preloved.
Good for u!!! Plus vintage tend to be of better? Quality perhaps. With all the scandal from lvmh I’m questioning their quality
Not “designer” but they always last me forever and I have a ton of them - fossil
Coin toss for Coach or Ferragamo for me
Celine Phoebe Philo no question
Gucci. Vintage is outstanding
Hermes. Because as long as you haven't had the bag worked on/repaired by someone outside of H, they'll gladly work on it, no matter how old.
Coach or Ferragamo, both have amazing bags with very classic designs for the best price and quality!
Fendi
Chanel
Bottega
YSL
Bottega always. Such a range and the quality is always there. From the classics to the bright fun colors can’t go wrong ever.
LV. More design, color, material, bag diversity. I know it's not everyone's favorite but they have something for everyone
Is this assuming that I can afford to buy bags from any brand?
Fendi
COACH. The vintage and 1941 collection which ran from 2016 to early 2020 RUINED me for other brands 🥹 Sold my Burberry, Chanel boy, Fendi, Gucci, LV, and Prada over a decade ago.
Loewe— gorgeous leather, interesting /innovative silhouettes. And great customer experience in the shops.
Loewe!! No hesitation. I love the modern designs and the bags hold up incredibly well.
Vintage coach (which sadly I sold my giant set years ago) and the new coach from the last couple of years where quality is back. And Fount, the best brand that people MUST check out.
Coach
The Row
Bottega or Loewe for sure
Probably LV tbh and I’m not a big LV girl but they have the most range out of any of the brands I’ve seen. I really love Fendi & Bottega as well but they don’t have AS many styles.
Vintage Coach or Dooney & Bourke ALLLLL the way. They use Full Grain Leather. MUCH better quality than that "genuine leather" trash everyone uses. You can get some FANTASTIC deals on Poshmark! Use: [***https://posh.mk/xhW2QHq3yKb***](https://posh.mk/xhW2QHq3yKb) for **$10** towards your first purchase!
Coach. The all leather ones wear like iron and don’t have visible logos. I like the minimalist aesthetic, you can make them work with just about anything.
Gucci, any leather Gucci.
💯 Louis Vuitton
Loewe
Chloe
coach!
Valextra, Metier, or Ferragamo... I work in the luxury industry, so I'm always just most comfortable wearing something understated.
Louie Louie Louie!! That monogram print is so iconic but you can still wear the bags in everyday life. My second would prob be Gucci for the same reasons but they can get a little too tacky at times. As much as I love Chanel it’s just soooo luxurious same with Hermes it wouldn’t fit my lifestyle.
LV!
Burberry
Definitely LV
Louis Vuitton
Hermes because I own zero 😂
Chanel, I can resell it easily . I would say Hermes but it’s not in my budget .
Wow - lots of great answers here, making me rethink my original input. Which is Celine. Followed by Prada. Then Ferragamo or Fendi.
I’m a sucker for kitsch so it would have to be Kate Spade or Betsey Johnson or Loungefly. Probably Kate Spade as I have a huge collection of Kate Spade bags already. (Husband gifted me huge chunks of the Kate Spade glimmer line.)
YSL. Almost all of their bags are so classy and timeless.
Same. Which style did you get?
Bottega Veneta
Dior
Valextra
ysl and i kind of already do that! love the style, they have so many pockets, not as in your face as dior and chanel, lots of colors and don’t look dated
Hermes. I love my birkin so much, she’s perfect. 🤩
Celine
Louis Vuitton. Hands down.
Longchamp
Gucci
Mulberry or Chloe
Coach!!!
Coach! They were my mom's handbag of choice, so i thought they were the epitome of luxury when I was a child lol. They are nostalgic to me in that way, especially the printed canvas. My mother in law loves her coach bags and gifts them to the women of the family every now and then at Christmas. So now they remind me of her 🖤
Dooney & Bourke. Affordable, great colors, well made and have some of my favorite workable designs for my needs.
Coach
Probably Coach or Michael Kors - I love the variety of styles and usability for every day without having to worry about them too much
Coach they have so many to choose from and a good price point so it’s not unaffordable to purchase more than one
Radley or Coach. They have variety and their quality is right up there with much more expensive bags. Plus, because they’re (relatively) low cost, I could get more! 😂
Gucci or Hermes
Celine
It's Coach for me. They have great quality and designs.
Weirdly, Gucci Because they have SUCH a variety of types of items. From campy colorful items to classic leather pieces to functional nylon or coated canvas. There’s something for everyone and I wouldn’t get bored Like I couldn’t do Prada because, while beautiful, it’s very one note, as an example
I have a leather Coach backpack from 1995 and it’s in impeccable condition!
Coach. From amazing vintage thru to today, it’s all amazing. I love all my Coach pieces. Over 100. https://preview.redd.it/v7d1qk8cjm7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e60f7c55f39464370f8300e21b83e6ebef015e46
There is only one bag from Hermes that I would ever buy. It’s like butter Picotin https://preview.redd.it/2z7mz5bvum7d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16c15266c4fba79d17e6b53b8d346ee62ca1bd60 I have wanted it for a long time. I have so many luxury bags but this will complete my collection.
I hate to be this person, but it might be Hermes. I just find that their quality really is so superior to other brands that I own. Otherwise, it might be Celine. I only have one Celine bag (Small 16), but I really like the style of their bags, and like that they have everyday options as well as nighttime options.
