What would you consider a truly classic bag?

[beljwl]

I am talking about a bag that has been a classic for at least 20+ years and will be a classic for at least another 20+ years

Here are the 5 I can think of

Hermes Birkin
Hermes Kelly
Chanel Flap
LV Speedy
LV Alma

 

[Sarsi]

Same set for me...
Hermes Birkin
Hermes Kelly
Chanel Flap
LV Speedy
LV Alma
and I would like to add
LV Papillon

 

[Elliespurse]

I would like to add the Ferragamo Sofia bag with Gancio closure. A similar bag with this closure was first made in 1949 I think.

 

[aerithgirl]

I agree with your choices but I can't think of anymore to add.

+ Gucci's Bamboo top-handle - still going strong from 1947

 

[papertiger]

oh and the Lady Dior almost makes it (first seen 1995) but I think it's already considered a classic

 

[RPGBuff]

Same set for me...
Hermes Birkin
Hermes Kelly
Chanel Flap
LV Speedy
LV Alma
and I would like to add
LV Papillon

My vote also.

 

[Designer_Love]

i'd say the LV speedy is a true classic

 

[fashion_mom1]

I think you did a good job with your list. I also think the Gucci Jackie O is a classic too.

 

[GraceTheGreat]

All of the above, and the Hermes Bolide, Constance and Trim (alongside the Kelly and HAC).

Christian Dior Lady Dior Cannage Tote:

Hermes Birkin:

Chanel 2.55 classic flap bag:

Lanvin Happy sac Partage:

Louis vuitton Speedy in monogram canvas:

All of the above bags i think are timeless and will never date, i love black with gold hardware and nude colours with gold hardware, classy

Not a specific brand, but a nice leather tote in a classic color.

 

[BEBEPURSE]

Any from the Coach Legacy line - thus the legacy name.
