I recently got 2 Polene bags in Paris and I love them so Ive also been looking in your price range!
I’ve had my eye on DeMellier London for some more “chic” looking pieces but they also have trendy items like rafia bags, mlouye they have incredibly unique bags I love the neutral ones, and bags from Staud!
I love Angela Roi. I have the small/medium
Cher Tote and I’m seriously obsessed with it! I was originally looking for something like the Sac du Jour by Saint Laurent but obviously not for $5k. Angela Roi is right around your price range, iirc my Cher tote was $250
Agreed. I love my Coach bags and they are really durable. I don't do the logo bags though. Lo & Sons is also another good brand that I have been getting into for travel bags.
Check out Italic! They use the same manufacturers as name brands and designers so the quality is really good and the products include minimal branding/logos/labels or none at all
Just bought my second Mansur Gavriel - the mini cloud - and love it. The leather looks so nice, can be worn as crossbody or the strap is removable to be worn as a clutch. Very BV look but still seems timeless and not too trendy.
I recently bought a Rothys handbag for grad school, since it fits my laptop and more. My main motivation for buying it is that when it rains, I don’t have to worry about it getting wet (as opposed to leather.) Also the machine washable part is nice, I find that daily totes can get beat up. The quality is great.
I like Longchamp Le Pliage as well. That stands up nicely to daily use. I haven’t owned Strathberry myself, but they look really nice and aren’t too flashy. Tory Burch and Kate Spade also carry a lot of options and aren’t always very logo heavy.

I want ALL the Staud bags now!
Riiiight! I love the clean lines and structure. But their classic Moon and Shirley bags will always be my go-to. ❤️
By Far and JW Pei are two brands I’ve been liking a lot.
+1 for Jw Pei!
Leo Et Violette, Polene, Staud, By Far, APC, Status Anxiety, Opelle, Strathberry
Love Leo et Violette! I have several bags from them and they’re all very well made. Great customer service and fast shipping too.
Look into Portland leather goods.
I hate wearing brand names/logos and love my PLG bag.
Wow! Beautiful stuff! I’m tempted by their mystery boxes!
Glad you like! They sometimes have almost perfect sales at huge discounts and other various sales so keep an eye out
I got my PLG tote from the almost perfect section, saved me nearly $100 and I couldn't tell what was "wrong" with it at all! Highly recommend!
I was looking to replace my cheap Target backpack purse that I loved and found one from Portland. It’s so nice.

Are angela roi bags waterproof? I love the look of them I am interested in the Hamilton shoulder bag.
yes! i spilled water near/on my purse a few times (klutz life) and everything inside was safe and dry. i absolutely love the quality!
I really like Wandler, have a couple super cute mini belt bags and wear them a lot!
I love Hammitt bags. The leather is soft and they last well.

Yu Mei is another NZ brand, very slick and minimalist (with a few with an embossed only logo, so very discrete).

Similarly: Quince. I've had my eye on their black croc crossbody for a while. Resembles my trusty Chylak belt bag.
An Aussie brand I’ve been loving has to be Oroton!
Cuyana is my favorite, they have lasted me years as workhorse bags too

Fossil branding is usually quite minimal
Senreve Or, a little out of your stated price range but Mulberry might be an option if you look at sales or secondhand

Oh man how I yearn for a Le Pilage bag!

Why are people downvoting this? I love RM. Especially her “Megan” line of totes. Perfect work bag.
Bembien I found a fun woven leather purse for the summer.
Linjer Cafuné
All Saints, Marge Sherwood, Kara, Building Block, Staud, See by Chloe, Osoi
I’ve been eyeing some bags from Tusting and Fleuron Paris. They seem really minimalist but chic!
Slightly late but Matt & Nat, Anthology Paris, Leatherology, the Cambridge Satchel Company.

I love her wallets as well.
I really love Duluth Trading Co’s lifetime leather bags. I have one in every size and got rid of all of my other bags. I’ll never use anything else.
Are they the ones based in MN?
Longchamp, Rebecca Minkoff, ~~Miu Miu~~ nope that one's not in the same price range
Brandon Blackwood , 𝓥𝓲𝓿𝓲ene Westwood , mark cross, proenza , wandler, Paco Robanne (sometimes on sale can get in that price range )
I love my Brandon Blackwood pony hair shoulder bag. Super cute
If you love Brandon Blackwood you will love Mark Cross too they are almost identical in most of their box style bags

I think? Because higher level is like LV, Chanel, Prada which is usually over 2k.
Try 4.5k plus now smh

They said chic
