How Much is a Floral Quilted Bag?
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 bag — Birkin, 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023No, not all Chanel bags are quilted. Although the French luxury fashion house is known for its diamond-quilted leather, Chanel has released versions of its iconic handbags without this detail. For example, Chanel has released versions of its classic Flap Bag decked out in sequins and beads instead of quilting. Explore a wide range of Chanel bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2024The Chanel quilted bag came out in February of 1955. Now revered all over the world, the 2.55 flap is what some experts suggest the first handbag to feature a shoulder strap. It was named for the month and the year of its proper debut.
When the pioneering French fashion designer Coco Chanel unveiled her now-iconic shoulder bag, she was actually reintroducing an accessory based on soldiers’ backpacks that she’d created in 1929. The 2.55 flap was a smashing success, a chic, rectangular accessory in soft quilted leather. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage Chanel handbags. - 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Chanel started making quilted bags in the 1950s (Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel had been making handbags since the 1920s, but following WWII, she began to create quilted bags in a focused manner). The French luxury fashion house's signature diamond quilting debuted on its 2.55 Flap bag, which was introduced in February of 1955. Since the debut of the 2.55, Chanel's quilting has become iconic and now appears on many of its bags. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Chanel handbags.
