Finding the Right Handbags and Purses 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 Bags With Flap
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Yes, some Chanel flap bags are crossbodies. Although the straps on the bags allow virtually any style to be worn slung across the body, many people find that smaller sizes are more comfortable to carry in this manner. Generally, Mini, Small, Wallet on Chain and Medium versions of flap bags like the Classic Flap, the Boy Bag and the 19 are the best options. Explore a diverse assortment of Chanel bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    To tell if a Chanel flap bag is real, first, check for a serial number. All bags made after 1980 will have a six- to eight-digit serial number printed in crisp, straight characters. Also, look at the CC clasp. The right C should overlap with the left on the top, and on the bottom, the left overlaps on the right. Shop a selection of Chanel Flap bags on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 2, 2023

    Whether or not a Chanel Single Flap bag is a good investment will depend upon a range of factors such as condition, rarity and more. Experts have reported that luxury handbags, including Chanel handbags, have made for good investments over the years. 


    A study of luxury investments in 2019 found that luxury handbags had the highest returns. For its spectacular seasonal runway shows, Chanel designs special bags that are typically produced in smaller editions, making them all the more desirable and prompting long waiting lists, while many handbags that are sought after today are objects of pure fantasy conjured up by the late couturier Karl Lagerfeld, whose prolific tenure at the helm of Chanel lasted from 1983 to 2019. 


    Determining the value of any collectible depends upon a variety of aspects. In the case of assessing the value of a classic Chanel Single Flap bag, you should consider color, size, style, condition and purchase price. Since 2019, Chanel has raised the prices of popular accessories such as the classic Medium Flap bag, the Small Boy bag and the 2.55 Large bag


    At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Buyers should keep in mind that the value of any investment is subject to fluctuation, and any investment decisions should be made according to the guidance of a financial advisor. Find a range of Chanel Single Flap handbags and accessories on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The difference between the Chanel 2.55 and Classic Flap bags relates mostly to its hardware.
