Top Designer Handbags You Won't Regret Investing In

Bags are the quintessential fashion accessory and iconic pieces that make a bold style statement. Over the years, women have transformed their look with just the right bag. While some are meant to be functional, some are attractive just for the brand’s timeless design.

Bags are considered as ‘investment pieces’ that will not only last well and be useful for long but also add value to your wardrobe.

Designer handbags, like Fendi bags, never go out of fashion and here is a list of top designer pieces you must invest in. 

1. Fendi Baguette

Fendi bags are known for their great designs and styles that have stayed trendy for many years. The Fendi Baguette style was designed and launched in 1997. The bag gained even more popularity after having been seen in the hands of Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. It is a must-have piece today, even after two decades. 

2. Chanel 2.55

Created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1955, the Chanel 2.55 is a timeless classic of rectangular shape with a ‘Mademoiselle’ clasp and an all metal strap. This handbag is also roomy enough to carry all your essentials, unlike certain designer bags that are really tiny.

3. Lady Dior

The Lady Dior bag by Christian Dior was created in 1994. It was initially called ‘chouchou’ which is French for ‘favorite’ but was given the new name as a tribute to Princess Diana who was Lady Diana Spencer before her marriage. Princess Diana loved the bag and carried it for many years, adding to its classic value.

4. Hermes Kelly Style

The Hermes Birkin has enjoyed immense popularity but the Kelly Style is another iconic piece since 1930, when it was first created. It was originally known as the ‘Sac à dépêches’, but was renamed as homage to Grace Kelly, who was herself a big fan of the bag; also using it to conceal her first pregnancy from the paparazzi.

5. Prada Galleria

The Galleria bag by Prada is also known as the Saffiano Lux bag, named after the leather it is made of. This was first created and patented by founder of the brand Mario Prada. It enjoys high popularity for its spacious size and simple design that complements both formal and casual wear.

The heat-treated leather of the bag is embossed with a cross-hatch pattern, increasing scratch-resistance, water-resistance and durability.

6. Bottega Veneta Pouch 

The Bottega Veneta Pouch, known for its simplicity and neutrality, has attracted buyers in 2019, when the cloud-like pouch was launched. The designer of this style Daniel Lee also won awards for the iconic piece. But in 2020, it is the new Zebra print version that is set to be the rage.

7. Saint Laurent Uptown Wallet Bag

This piece is a new addition to the Saint Laurent Uptown family. Called the Wallet Bag, it is indeed a wallet on a chain and features the brand’s metal logo. It has become the Spring/Summer bestseller for Saint Laurent. It apparently also comes with its own card holder.
