Explore beautifully crafted pieces from two smaller brands we love that feature stunning silhouettes and beautiful design.
So often, mid-level labels are, in my opinion, priced far beyond the quality and value they deliver. In fact, my clients can definitely attest to my strong opinions on these brands and how I avoid them entirely. I share this here because the two labels we are highlighting are not part of that grouping. Each delivers in both quality and design at a price point that actually makes sense.
The two design houses we’re featuring this week are DeMellier and Mansur Gavriel. You may or may not be familiar with them. These are quiet luxury pieces that will pop any look, and I think you’re going to love them.
A couple of things to note. These are not what I would call household designer names. They’ve been around for a while, and they’re smaller, yet bring so much to the table. You’re getting beautiful design, excellent quality, and price points that don’t make you pause for a week before deciding.
For this post, we’re focusing solely on handbags.
It’s always interesting to watch what happens when there’s a change in the market—who rises, who falls, and who quietly steps in to fill the gap. With the significant price increases we’ve seen across traditional designer brands, there’s definitely space opening up, and these two are filling it beautifully.
Beautiful Designs and Fabulous Pricing
What you’ll notice as you go through these pieces is the quiet luxury that these two smaller design houses bring.
As you browse what I’ve pulled for you, pay attention to the designs, the fabrications, and the silhouettes. These bags are gorgeous, understated, and timeless investments.
Many are crafted from pebbled leather, which has a reputation for its durability and how well it wears over time.
To make it easier for you, we have divided everything by designer, so without further ado…

In Summary…
The wow factor here is high—and the pricing makes them even more appealing… which, fair warning, may lead to more than one making its way into your closet.
Happy hunting and enjoy looking quietly chic with whatever you choose.
