Although we are hearing a lot less chatter about designer “it” bags than we used to a decade or two ago, there are still a handful of designer bags and purses that will always carry “it” status and are always a good investment, no matter which decade it may be. Here are three of the most timeless handbags ever made.
The Louis Vuitton Speedy
The classic satchel styling and sleek, minimalistic design make this bag one to put on your “must have” list. The Speedy comes in a few different sizes, but no matter which one you choose, this is a bag that looks as good with a pair of jeans and a plain white tee as it does with a tailored pencil skirt and fitted suit jacket.
The Gucci Jackie Bag
Named after the inimitable Jacquenile Kennedy Onassis, Gucci's Jackie bag is a collection of everything that we love about classic Gucci bags: an elegant shape, the signature brass hardware piston clasps, and that unmistakable double “G” logo fabric make this one one of their most enduring bags.
The Fendi Baguette
The Baguette exploded onto the scene at the height of the “it” bag craze in 1997, ushering-in the first wave of the mini bag craze. Designed to fit neatly under the arm (like a French baguette, of course), there have been literally hundreds, if not thousands of iterations of the Baguette, from crocodile skin to pony hair and denim, if you can imagine it, it has likely been done!
