What is a holy grail bag?
A holy grail bag is slang for a handbag at the top of someone's wish list. Usually, the term refers either to a high-end luxury bag that sells at an aspirational price point or a bag that is difficult to purchase due to it being produced in small quantities or as a limited edition. Vintage bags may also be considered holy grail bags. Shop a diverse assortment of bags on 1stDibs.
