Some Of The Most Iconic Stylish Handbags Throughout The Times

Styles change all of the time, and when it comes to high fashion, the latest styles and trends tend to fluctuate even more frequently. So, when a fashion item is introduced to the market (or the runway, should we say), and it’s still considered gorgeous, chic and stylish years and years later, that’s really saying something. From dresses to jewelry to leather handbags, many fashion items do not stand the test of time. Though the types of stylish handbags do change here and there, there’s just something about the ‘It’ bag that just never seems to go out of style. Call it charisma, call it high-class, call it taste - we’re not quite sure how these purses have served as a timeless fashion accessory, but here we are writing about it.

The Prada Bowling Bag

Prada is well-known for many iconic It bags over the years. Many of these bags have actually been so popular and successful that some of their famous designs have been reissued here and there. Among their all-time most famous handbags is no doubt the bowling bag of spring and summer 2000. Ah, 2000...what a time. This bag was essentially an instant cult hit that immediately sold out worldwide, and Prada actually had to open long waiting lists for their customers.

Luella Gisele

2002 marked a particularly crazy year for the It Bag hysteria, and that’s when Luella Bartley’s Gisele bag was launched in collaboration with Mulberry. The bag followed the idea that Hermes and Gucci had back in the 1960s, which was naming bags after famous, stylish women. This bag was originally launched in tan leather and equestrian-style leather straps with a cute heart charm. And of course, after people started to see them on the arms of celebrities of Kate Moss, Reese Witherspoon, Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley, it became a huge hit.

Mulberry Bayswater

Not unlike Prada, British label Mulberry also had an impressive history of It bags. Of all bags that Mulberry released, their Bayswater was arguably their brand’s most iconic. An instant classic after it launched, pretty much everyone that was hyper fashion-conscious had a Mulberry Bayswater.

Bottega Venetta Woven Bag

A lot of the success of this stylish handbag could probably be boiled down to quality marketing efforts, but there’s no doubt that the woven designs of this particular It bag were iconic. The criss cross, plaited effect that the bag had was created by using Intrecciato, a technique that was invented that Bottega Veneta in the 1960s in order to make the thin leather used in their workshops more durable and stronger.
