Have you looked at Hobo Bags? It's my new favorite brand. I clicked on your link. This is on the first page: "Want a peak behind the scenes of our Joshua Tree photoshoot? Click below!" They have a professional looking website. Seems like someone there would know the difference between peak and peek. |

I see a lot of my favorites are already mentioned, especially Portland Leather (my #1 fave at the moment), vintage Coach, Fossil, Kipling, and Vera Bradley. One I haven't seen mentioned is Lucky brand - somewhat similar to Fossil but not quite as pricey. Depends on what type of purse you're looking for - everyday, dressy, sporty, etc.

I carry Brahmin in the winter and Kate Spade in the summer, I have an orange bucket bag from Kate that is 4 or 5 years old and I get more compliments on that purse than any I have ever owned and it's the perfect size.
I had a Brahmin when I travelled for a living, it had a built in wallet and was black and brown, so both dressy and casual and not too large, that purse lasted almost 10 years and still looked great!
I'm not one to change purses and once I find what works, I stick with it!

You could check out Clare V.
Very trendy here, and have a lot of medium size bags.

I love Kate Spade and Dooney & Burke purses. I can usually find them at the outlet store for a much more reasonable price.

Fun thread, I’m in a waiting room with an ancient (30 years?) small Dooney satchel on my lap. I’m a bag hoarder so I don’t keep up with what brands are trending- usually it’s about a mood or most often color/material for me.
I’m sending this to a friend. She bought a Fossil recently and was ridiculed by her sister because they were out of style.🙄🙄🙄 Glad to see so many referenced here and prove her wrong. It’s a brand I love and save, a good balance of classic and fun options!

I second the recommendation for Hammitt. Beautiful bags that you don't see everywhere. On the more expensive end for me, but worth it for their quality and uniqueness.

I have several Kate Spade crossbody bags that are perfect for every day. They probably are on the small side for what you are wanting though. You can get the essentials in there but not a lot of extra stuff.

Radley bags are very popular in the UK, but I didn’t realise they were sold in the US until I was in Orlando in December. Their bags are great quality, come in beautiful colours, and a huge range of styles. I own about half a dozen, and love them all. 😊

Disney person, so everything I have right now is Disney Dooney & Burke. Thankfully, bought on deep discount (at least 40%, but usually more).

I have a D&B Patriots purse that DH gave me for my bday before he passed. So I typically carry that. When I think to switch to a 'summer' bag, it's a coach one. But I typically carry the Patriots purse.

Most of my bags are Coach, but I can't tell you how many compliments I get when I carry one of my Brahmins. The Brahmins are very well made.
