Now I don't quite frankly have anything against mid-priced designer bags such as Coach (Mind you I do mind that they're made in China).. but I find that for the same amount of money a person can get way better "investment value" if they try other brands that aren't typically readily available in North America or your typical store for that matter. Opt to buy pieces online and save a bit more money while retaining more Wardrobe Value!
Some of the my favorite ones include Furla, Rebecca Minkoff, Alexander Wang.. but I also enjoy Vintage bags from Celine, Gucci, Chanel which are a bit more "beat-up" but if you take it to a good leather cleaner no one can really tell 😀
