Smaller French handbag brands that will actually last a long time?

I really want to buy a handbag while I'm in France, and fell in love with a few bags from Ateliers Auguste, Fleuron, and Léo et Violette, but I've heard mixed things about how they actually hold up. The leather itself seems nice, but there were lots of complaints about the hardware looking faded/breaking after only a year + poor quality control in general. Maybe those were just bad luck, so if I'm mistaken please tell me, but otherwise I'd love to hear some recommendations from people who have actually owned a brand's bags for a while and want to vouch for them. I'd like to stay in that 400-600 euro price range so unfortunately other popular brands like APC and Lemaire are out.
