6 Brands That Are EXPOSING The Designer Handbag Industry

Six brands (Quince, Everlane, Polène, Mansur Gavriel, Cuyana, Strathberry) expose "the multiple," the gap between what a designer bag costs to make and what you pay, by using the same European leather and workshops as luxury houses while selling direct.
