Sick of 'IT' Bags? Favorite Non-Designer (Gucci, LV, etc) Bags?

[libby_bee]

Hi libby bee, I am a browser, not a buyer, but here's my two cents' worth:

Vote for:

Hayden-Harnett


What about Gerard Darel bags - any plans to carry GD bags?

How about Tano?

THANKS!!!

I just bought Hayden-Harnett for fall 06

I'll check out the GD and Tano bags! I totally appreciate the tip!

Libby bee, just out of nosiness, may I ask what other lines you carry or are considering?

I really like the look of these bags by Canadian designer Christopher Kon, you can find some of his bags online at sites like jacquelinejarrot.com, bagshop.com, delfinoshop.com. So far,I haven't come across anyone yet who's bought any of his bags, though (according to his official website, there are three stores in Florida that carry his bags).

Then there's Kale

Good luck, libbybee!

PS What did you think about the Tano bags?

IMHO this is a very useful site if you wish to look at the work of some independent handbag designers:

Marnie Bugs for instance - lunaboston carries a few styles eg

Hi libby bee, I am a browser, not a buyer, but here's my two cents' worth:

Hayden-Harnett

Another vote for Hayden Harnett. I think these guys are going to be big in a couple of years.
I have the H-H Mercer Satchel in both black and chalk and it! It's so well designed with the multiple pockets and compartments, and the longer shoulder straps that make carrying on your shoulder much easier than most satchels. The leather is divine, and the hardware gives it a bit of an edgy, downtown look.

I also have the Gerard Darel Charlotte/Drape in the tan and black and use those bags a lot as well. IMO the black one is especially chic.

THANKS SO MUCH you guys - I can't tell you how much I appreicate the input. I am in a rush to get out at the moment but I will post more later on lines that I would like to carry, and ANY ideas would be VERy welcome! ( not just bags either - shoes, clothes too!)

 

[libby_bee]

Libby bee, just out of nosiness, may I ask what other lines you carry or are considering?

Thanks! I do ahave aquite a few things in mind, but am just not sure if I'll be able to get the accounts. It's not always so easy, it seems, to get people to sell their lines to you!

I will post more later on the lines I want - I liked the Tano thanks for the tip - throw some more ideas at me! I am always looking for something new.

Libby Lee, you mentioned Charlott Vasberg earlier? Are you going to sell the line - I hope so I read an online magazine that called one of her bags a genius bag.

 

[Eclecticbagz]

great bags! circuit...love the gusto and monimoni bags

 

[Scarlett-O]

Definitly Charlott vasberg! Especially adore her twistbags...

 

[INTER]

I love Lamarthe, Furla and Longchamp, and they´re a lot cheaper!

 

[thesiren]

How about Jas MB bags -big in Japan apparently (I first read about them on this forum). Barneys carries the bags.

wow, are you serious?? thanks!!
i've been wondering about this label. i got a gorgeous vintage-looking beat up leather tote from this label on yoox, but they had it listed as fas-mb ... i tried everywhere to look for more info on the label but couldn't find anything, i didn't know the name was misspelled!

 

[brian]

pic of my gorgeous jas-m.b. bag.... i really love this label, i'm definitely getting more soon!

Great-looking bag, Brian! There doesn't seem to be any Jas MB bags left on the Barneys site online but perhaps if you call them up to check, hopefully there might be one or two bags left in the store? The bags were still on the website a week or so ago.

 

[libby_bee]

SOme of the Lamarthe bags are really nice. Basic, but with a chic twist and they look really well made. I just got the linesheets a few days ago.

Yeah, the Charlott Vasbergs are one of my favorites. I finally made contact and now I am waiting to hear back to see if I can buy.

Thanks soooooooooooo much for your input!!
