Are there any classy bag brands anymore?

Are there any actually classy, high quality handbag brands left out there? I feel like many of the popular brands just make you look tacky and a bit try hard? I don't want a logo plastered all over my bag either.

I think Jill Sander is very chic. Minimal small logo.

A trip to Florence is well worth it if you want quality without the name brand.

Nearly all mine are Osprey. They seem to last forever.
I'd have a St Laurent one if I could afford it, though! Or one of those incredibly upmarket bags from small, exclusive workshops that only very posh people know about. I'd then have to leave it in the middle of a busy road, so it would look weathered by a lifetime's affectionate use 😂

Tusting, their Savannah and Hope bags are beautiful.

Nothing is classy anymore. If there is, it will just be copied and appear on Temu straight away and be on Katie Prices shoulder 🤮

Try a locally handmade bag on Etsy.

I have a kate spade bag I use for bag and it's good quality, minimal branding and have had a few compliments about it. However on here there will be plenty who say kate spade bags aren't classy.

I've got some really smart bags from a German brand, Maison Heroine - stylish and minimal branding.

I’ve got a few Prada bags. Only a small logo and excellent leather. Some I’ve had for 15+ years and still going strong, despite completely overloading them with work stuff.

Aspinal of London? Always seem high quality and understated.

Spend the money you would spend on a handbag on a consultation with a solicitor. It could be the best money you ever spend.
Not all women have a Mulberry handbag. I certainly don't and my life is fulfilling without one.
Remember, bags spend a lot of time on the floor underneath desks and tables getting grubby.
Mulberry are made in a factory just like millions of other bags I should know, I once went for a job interview at their Somerset site and got given a tour of the factory. (Didn't get the job though).
