No trend has lasted quite as long as the seemingly universal desire to own a luxury handbag. Each year brings a new set of styles and there are certain fashion houses (think: Prada, Dior, Chanel and Coach) that consistently sell out of just about every bag they release.
Then there are the luxury handbags that have become timeless, such as the Hermès Birkin Bag, Chanel Classic Flap, the Lady Dior and the Prada Cleo.
In fact, a report by Credit Suisse and Deloitte Private in 2022 found that Chanel handbags were among the most stable investments collectors could make, due to their lasting popularity. What’s more is that analysis by Precedence Research shows that the global luxury handbag market is expected to be worth US$57.28 billion by 2033.
Whether it’s a status symbol, fashion statement or collectible investment, one thing we know for sure is that the love of designer handbags is set to grow. So, here is marie claire‘s edit of the luxury bags that you can shop right now.
