[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mulberry is top quality, similar to a Celine a Chloe level bag. Aspinal is high quality, still excellent but a little more of an imitator than a leader. Strathberry is only well known bc MM carried one once early on. I haven’t seen one in person so am not sure the level of workmanship. All of these are higher value and more prestigious than a Kate Spade/Michael Kors/Coach level bag. Among the American brands you mention, Coach is the best quality and their leather bags are well made but the brand suffers from a mass market image. I still think there is a place for a classic (leather, not fabric and no obvious logo) Coach bag in a classic wardrobe.[/quote]

The old vintage coach bags from when they were made in America (they were made by unionized workers, too--before they closed the US factories, Coach was known for treating its workers fairly) are collectible, there's a whole set of people who hunt for them.[/quote]

+1. I had a coach bag I got for college graduation in 1998. In about 2003 i broke the strap. I was able to send it back and they replaced the strap. I cannot imagine anything like that happening today.

About 2015 I bought a Kate Spade tote from their short-lived "Madison Avenue" collection that was supposed to be higher end. Its made of very nice quality leather and has great details (lovely stitching and feet). I still bring it out for interviews.

Conversely I recently purchased a Mulberry wallet from Nordstrom. It arrive and was just so un-special that I returned it. While Mulberry is still nicer than current Kate Spade and Coach, I would never put it on the same level as Celine. [/quote]
