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 Non Leather Bags
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    The toughest leather bag is generally one made out of full-grain leather. Taken from the outermost portion of the grain and not sanded or buffed, full-grain leather is a strong, durable material that still has a supple feel and an attractive appearance. Bear in mind that craftsmanship also affects how tough a bag is, so the durability of full-grain leather pieces can vary. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of leather bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, leather bags can last if cared for and stored properly. Most genuine leather requires regular conditioning to maintain its softness and suppleness. In addition, leather needs to be kept free of dust and debris and stored in a cool, dry area to preserve it. Refer to the care instructions included with your bag for best results. Find a large collection of leather bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Genuine leather handbags are bags made from materials derived from animal hides. Calfskin and cow leathers are the most common, but you can also find handbags fashioned out of other types of leather, like goat, lamb, ostrich and crocodile. Bags also differ in terms of the types of leather they feature. Full-grain leather is unsanded, untreated leather that comes from the outermost portion of the hide, while top-grain leather is leather from the top of the hide that has been sanded and buffed to make it smoother. Explore a wide range of leather handbags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    Although trends are subject to change, leather bags are typically in fashion from season to season. Leather has become synonymous with handbags, as it is a favorite material of many top makers, such as Hermès, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Not only is leather pleasing to the touch and attractive to the eye, but it can also hold up to the wear and tear of daily use. The finest grade of leather, full-grain, can last for decades when cared for properly. Explore a large collection of leather bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    The lifespan of a leather bag depends on a number of factors, including the quality of its craftsmanship and how it is maintained and stored. On average, leather handbags last for around 30 years, although some remain in good condition for decades longer. To help a bag stand the test of time, follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer. Shop a large selection of leather bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Full-grain leather bags are typically the most durable. Full-grain leather comes from the outermost layer of the hide and does not undergo buffing or sanding. As a result, the material is strong but has a supple feel. Keep in mind that manufacturing techniques also affect durability. Handmade bags created in accordance with strict quality controls are likely to last the longest. Find a wide variety of leather bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, leather bags typically get softer over time. The softening process occurs as moisture from the air slowly gets absorbed into the leather.

Follow the maintenance and storage instructions included with your bag for the best results. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of leather bags.
