The "It" bag concept has long ago died away, and they were all ultimately seasonal anyway, popular one year and gone the next. Now, I would say there is something similar in each brand, a new model or bag color that appears and people go insane for it. LV's Pochette Metis has quite the following, and I see plenty of love for Hermes new Bleu Encre leather.
Not sure. I don't ever see YSL except with tourists, never see Balenciaga period. Here in Seattle, it's mostly LV, Longchamp, Kate Spade and Michael Kors. MCM is gaining traction. A few trendy Millennials will carry Chanel in nice weather. Saw an amazing Hermes Birkin 25 the other day at Costco of all places!
LV Pochette Metis is popular where I am (Melbourne CBD, Australia) Also LV Neverfull and Speedy B of course. I often see these on Asians. I am Asian too btw but I'm not a fan of LV.
Gucci is also very popular among Asians. There's always a line outside the Gucci store in Collins Street. MCM backpacks are a favourite among Asian international students. I actually wanted one but never got around to buying it.
I also see Chanel mainly the WOCs, some Boy and Gabrielle.
For contemporary, Michael Kors, Coach and Kate Spade.
White Australians (at least, the ones I see in the CBD) usually favour discreet bags. I think a lot of them patronise Aussie brands like Mimco, etc.
My favourites Balenciaga, Givenchy and YSL, I see these rarely.
But basically, it's all about the crossbody bags.

There is no IT bags and i think that’s a good thing! You should explore and go for whatever bag works for your budget and lifestyle.
I don’t want to be carry the same bag as every second person on the street!
There are some popular bags going on atm in my city, givenchy antigona, Gucci marmont, soho, LV neverfull and speedy, Alma bb, Palm spring mini and always on formal occasions black chanel CF paired with Valentino. I’ve noticed a massive sale of chanel wocs in the market, possibly from those after a CF and made the mistake of settling for a woc. I’ve also seen some ridiculous resell price for Chanel minis
Balenciaga city style was popular years ago but I’m not surprised that there’re less common as people choose to spend their $$$ on other bags. They’re like the prada saffiano imo. I probably liked the city bag years ago but never own one, and definitely don’t have the desire to spend retail on one when I can get something “fresher”
My friends in Asia countries commented that the most common bags are chanel and Hermes, with lindy being the most popular mums bag.

Currently in South Korea and here in Seoul, Goyard is super popular. Almost every second woman is carrying a Goyard. Other popular bags are Chanel (Boy and classic) and Hermes. Celine, LV and Gucci are also popular. I rarely see Chloe, YSL and other bags.
Doesn’t mean the preloved market will maintain the price? Or perhaps people are offloading before the bags break apart, it’s just a wallet with chain, doesn’t fit much?
I’ve also seen a lot of vintage LV in Japan, it’s nice to see well loved bags than carrying the latest “IT” bags and flip shortly after for resale
