Finding the Right handbags-purses-bags for You

An integral part of fashion, handbags and purses have been indispensable accessories ever since we began to carry around personal items. Level of craftsmanship, style and shape matters — from coin purses in ancient Greece to early 20th-century opera bags and onward, handbags have evolved considerably over the years to meet our needs and desires, whether or not you happen to be prioritizing functionality over a flashy exterior.

Once, a single “It” handbag ruled each fashion season. No more. Today, lovers of vintage handbags are savvier and have a wider range of shopping options. Nevertheless, classics created by the likes of Louis Vuitton, Dior and Balenciaga still rule.

“It is not a fashion bag — it is a statement bag,” says Mightychic's Debra Kent of Hermès's widely beloved accessories. “When you carry an iconic Hermès bagBirkin, Kelly, Constance — no one knows how long you have been into this culture or if you are a newbie. Your status is validated immediately.”

First released in 1997, Fendi's Baguette rose to fame along with Carrie Bradshaw, the Sex and the City character portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker. Recently, the design has seen such a resurgence in popularity that Fendi has reissued it.

They are part of design history, so owning a handbag has meaning. As New York–based fashion historian Sarah C. Byrd says, “You have made the choice to invest in this piece because you understand the value of it in the past and in the future to come.”

From a 1980s Chanel black leather quilted mini buckle bag to the rare Hermès Birkin 30cm Himalayan with diamond hardware to a range of 19th-century bags, find a rich variety of vintage and designer handbags and purses spanning numerous brands on 1stDibs — seasonal “It” designation no longer needed.

Questions About Retro Leather Handbag
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    How you should store leather handbags depends on the maker's instructions. Following the directions outlined on the care card will help your handbag stand the test of time. Generally, it's best to keep leather handbags in their original dust bags in a cool, dry area that doesn't receive direct sunlight. Most bags benefit from being kept upright and stuffed with acid-free tissue paper, white cotton towels or their original packaging materials. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of leather handbags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Yes, leather handbags are generally good. People have been using leather bags to carry items since at least 3500 B.C. Our early ancestors prized the material because it was durable yet flexible and easy to work with. Today, makers continue to produce attractive leather bags that can hold up to wear and tear. Leather also has an appealing appearance and texture and can be dyed and treated in different ways to create attractive effects. Find a large collection of leather bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    The softest leather for handbags is lambskin. This leather's light, airy, and layer structure products a soft, velvety texture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    Generally, full-grain leather is best for handbags. It is the highest-quality leather available and comes from the outermost layer of the animal hide. Not only does full-grain leather have an appealing texture due to its natural grain, but it is also strong and durable. Shop a wide range of leather handbags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    To tell if a handbag is real leather, first examine the grain. On authentic leather, the patterning will be irregular, while imitation leather will tend to have distinctive patterns created by stamping the material. Real leather will also have a softer, suppler feel compared to fake leather, which may seem stiff or plastic-like. You can also drop a small amount of water on the material in a discreet location. If it becomes absorbed by the bag rather than forming beads or rolling off, the bag is likely genuine leather. Find a wide range of leather bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 29, 2020

    On the front of your Hermès Constance bag, the metal “H” doubles as both an insignia for the high fashion goods manufacturer and a clasp to keep your bag snapped shut. To open your Hermès Constance handbag, grab the metal “H” — position your fingers directly around the horizontal middle bar of the letter, so that your fingers are curled underneath it, and pull out toward you. The key to opening the clasp without scratching the accessory’s leather is to pull only at the horizontal bar. The bag opens and closes with the help of a spring-loaded mechanism that is concealed on each of the bar’s ends fixed to the flap.
