Wife wants a high quality leather purse for Christmas (NOT “luxury” brands)
When I wanted to get something nice for my wife, I wanted something 1. Timeless 2. Ages well 3. Discrete 4. Good craftsmanship 5. Functional I ended up getting her a (used) braided leather clutch from Bottega Veneta from the RealReal. Unlike Louis Vuitton or Hermes, you're not likely to draw eyes from wannabe gold diggers. However, the truly rich will recognize the quality. I offered to buy it new, but my wife saw the price and refused.

Help! It’s my husband’s 50th birthday on Monday. What is a good quality BIFL wallet?
Bottega venetta card wallet. Low profile and uses pretty good leather. Not the cheapest but also not bad for a luxury brand if he is into that

Recommendations for Designer Backpack
No you're right, mfs really said "This is not the place for "designer"", if that isn't gatekeeping I don't now what is. They outright claim "BIFL is understated, quality and no brand names", as if it can't be anything more or anything less. It doesn't matter if they write "most" in one sentence out of four - this sub loves to gatekeeper. Coach has excellent leather for the price - vintage examples still look lovely years later, great hardware, good construction, designs aren't anything special. They aren't designer, but easily the best value. Loewe, Longchamp, & Bottega vintage examples can be very good, but you have to search around. Their modern bags aren't bad at all either, just extremely expensive for what you get and middling design. Same with Celine, Dior, Chloe, Bulgari, they all have had some good pieces over the years, but you need to do your research as to which leather which bags use and the construction of said bag, I would never buy those brands retail. Quality on a lot of these went down post LVMH buyout, so you really have to do your research and if possible learn to feel the leather be able to differentiate between good leathers and cheap leathers coated in plastics and whatnot. People here conflate quality with value. LV bags are horrible value retail. But to say a neverful empreinte bag isn't a BIFL purchase and low quality just because its designer would be lying - you can get significantly better leather from local artisans for the same money no doubt, but treat it well and it will last you a lifetime. Hermes is probably the biggest example of this, insane margins, insane markups, but the crafstmanship is there no doubt. As long as you are well aware you are paying in majority part for the high margins, logo, designer label, design, and marketing, and that the bag only really takes 1/10th of the MSRP to construct, its a fine purchase. I've been using a hermes double-tour watch strap for the better part of a decade now, and my has a vintage herbag, and they have both aged wonderfully.
