Despite luxury houses releasing multiple new bags a year, some designer styles are unequivocally timeless. Think Princess Diana’s Gucci bamboo tote, Jane Birkin’s namesake Hermes, or the Chanel flap, beloved by Jackie Kennedy and Kate Moss.
Elsewhere, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian love the Fendi Baguette, which had already achieved cult status by 2000 when Carry Bradshaw famously wore it in Sex and The City. “It’s not a bag, it’s a baguette,” she declared – words that ring true for any luxury bag lover who values style over practicality.
