The Boston Bag

[Deneuveness]

I wanted to pose a question to you all - do you feel that the Boston style of handbag is a timeless classic, or something that's on its way out?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

It's a classic shape imo.

I agree it is also a classic shape. It may not be trendy but I do think it is a classic type of bag.

What is a Boston shape? Is it more than one shape? I've also seen that term used for bags with this shape, but the one you posted looks different.

I think it will always be around. It’s a classic shape.

 

[cologne]

definitely a classic.

In my opinion, the ultimate example of the Boston shape is the Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag...

Classic, without a doubt. I love Boston bags, even if they're not the most practical. The Louis Vuitton Sophia Coppola bag @Tyler_JP mentioned in the previous post is absolutely gorgeous, I've had one in suede on my "Someday" Wish List for a few years now.

The SC bag is gorgeous. Does LV still produce it? Any other high end leather handbag maker producing similar shape?

Unfortunately, Louis Vuitton no longer makes the SC bag, but you can find them on the pre-loved market! What about the Hermès Victoria or the Loewe Amazona as alternatives?

I like both Victoria and Amazona, slightly less than the sc. Because they are more of a rectangular/boxy shape than a cylinder.

Another vote in the “classic” column for the Boston shape.

Classic!

Classic! My Fendi Lei Sellerias and Fendi By the Ways are among my most practical and most used bags

Classic and will not be leaving the bag stage.
