Classic Designer Bags Every Girl Should Own

1. Fendi Baguette:

It’s a small boxy bag from Fendi which is perfect to carry a few items of necessity. It is multifaceted because it’s small enough to use as a clutch, but its strap helps you to carry it on your shoulder. In that way it can be used for both casual and formal events.

2. Victoria Beckham Quincy Tote:

It can be easily your love at first sight. So sleek, sophisticated and suave (see, I’m so good at alliteration :D). It’s a perfect size, big enough to carry all your daily essentials and not too big either. It also comes with optional shoulder bags. I’ll give brownie points to the colour choice we have.

3. Saint Laurent Black Suede Studded Medium Tote Bag:

Look at the bag! You can hardly call it ‘medium’. But I like this spacious bag. This is available in many variations to suit your personal style. It’s roomy to keep all your needs yet not feels like a luggage. And C’mon! We’re all sucker for studs. Aren’t we?

4. Hermes Birkin Bag:

I don’t know of any other brand which spells luxury like Hermes. It’s a must have if you want to tell everybody you’ve arrived without saying it. Attention seekers, Yes, We’re! (hands down!). Birkin bags were started back in 80s and they have a huge variety of size, leather, texture and colours. Another reason to own a Hermes is ‘no one does colour better than Hermes’.

5. Valentino Satchel:

It gives you a reason to flaunt. Wouldn’t it be perfect if it’s a fun piece? This Yellow Valentino Satchel will be your staple for a bright sunny day. It breaks the monotony of formals. So why not dangle something quite uncommon.

6. Chanel 2.55:

More than a half decade old design, and still a big favourite. It happens only with Chanel. There are several variations in colour, leather, metal, straps and lock. It works with all the outfits and it’s spectacular. Such beauty is a must have in any wardrobe.

7. Dior’s Lady Bag:

Luxury brand that too from French. It was named after Princess Diana who spelled elegance and sophistication. Again it has many variations in terms of size, leather and metals.

8. Prada Saffiano:

Another name from big luxury brands. It adds class, beauty and of course status. It’s one of those items which are passed on through generations. Prada Saffiano’s unique textured leather is a Prada signature. Size, colour and design varies but it’s mostly styled as a tote.

9. Gucci Clutch:

one of the most eminent designer tags, it’s recognized for its craftsmanship and innovation. Its logo is enough to make a statement itself and this brand has really come a long way. A clutch from Gucci is a must have in your kitty. You can choose from metallic to leather. There are many versatile designs to suit your day-to-night transit. This clutch is one of them.

10. Louis Vuitton Noe Monogram Canvas:

Iconic LV Noe design has loyal following from many Hollywood and bollywood celebrities. It’s a nice variant to add in your life. Its patent monogrammed canvas makes it a favourite. It’s another LV bag which is a must buy besides statement Speedy Bag.
