Iconic Bags Edit

  1. Her­mès — Birkin

Noth­ing bet­ter than the orig­i­nal IT girl, the famous actress was gift­ed the lux­u­ri­ous tote bag in 1984.
Since then the Birkin Bag became more than a sim­ple desire for women all around the world, the bag being rein­vent­ed mul­ti­ple times since its intro­duc­tion on the mar­ket. The price rang­ing from $10k up to $2M and this is not the only rea­son why these bags are such a rare piece in women’s clos­ets, the cus­tomers also must have a pur­chase his­to­ry with the brand. How­ev­er, the Birkin bag is not only a fash­ion state­ment but also a per­fect collectable.

2. Dior — Sad­dle Bag

Those unique­ly shaped bags first appeared in Dior’s spring/summer 2000 ready-to-wear-show. The bags add depth to your out­fit not only through their shape but also through the var­i­ous colour­ful designs. The bag is a clas­sic that shows how some designs are made to last. And for the TV series enthu­si­asts, the bag is worn by Sarah Jes­si­ca in “Sex And The City”, if this doesn’t con­vince you that you need it I don’t know what will.

3. Chanel — Jum­bo Clas­sic Flap Bag

The bag was an imme­di­ate suc­cess and still con­tin­ues to be in demand. It is won­der­ful how the flap bag can be found in dif­fer­ent sizes, leathers and hard­ware com­bi­na­tions, mak­ing it unique and stop­ping the rep­e­ti­tion that many are afraid of. There­fore, you can buy this bag and be sure that it is a clas­sic but not as com­mon as one may think.

4. Saint Lau­rent — Sac de Jour

Released in 2013, SAC DE JOUR was one of the brand’s most icon­ic bags and called by many the bag of the decade. In my opin­ion it radi­ates not only lux­u­ry but also a fem­i­nine ele­gance through it’s sim­plic­i­ty. The bag comes in 4 sizes: NANO, BABY, SMALL, and LARGE. Which for sure sat­is­fies even the most pre­ten­tious preferences.
