The one that fits your personal style and you love to carry. Celine is my personal favorite.

I like Tory Burch in the under 1k range. Over 1k, YSL. Over 2k, LV.

Most designer brands aren’t worth it anymore. They’re expensive (ridiculously so) but very poor quality. A lot of them have gotten quite tacky too IMO. I stick to Coach and Kate spade because the quality is far superior than all others. 🤷🏽♀️ I do like the look of mulberry and Celine but can’t justify the price even at my BL salary, so I haven’t even bothered looking into whether they’re decent quality.
Coach is having a huge comeback! But The argument that it’s better than other designer bags is not strong.
I like Strathberry, Loewe, Toteme, and second the recommendations for DeMelier and Celine - all understated, IYKYK, and high quality
Adding Polène to this list too!
I love my Louis Vuitton Pochette. I don’t use it for work, but I use it for any kind of event, shopping, etc. I used to have a Louis I used for work but it wasn’t durable enough and it felt weird destroying a 3.5k bag with my laptop.
I carry my Bottega Veneta Hop. Perfect bag
Shop outlet stores if you can access them online! I’ll echo that Kate Spade and Coach are excellent choices, Michael Kors is also popular. In a big Kate Spade fan personally, and you can get great deals on stuff if you don’t care that it’s “last season.” I have also had Coach bags that lasted me years of daily use, so the quality on those is great.
The most timeless designers for handbags are Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. If you’re spending in the thousands, I would stick to these brands.
Love DeMelier. It is reasonably priced (all things considered) and very high quality
I use a YSL Manhattan bag for work. Love it!
