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.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    What is a good number for limited edition prints depends on what you mean by good. If you're wondering how many prints in a series are best from a collector's standpoint, the smaller the number of prints, the more valuable the individual pieces are likely to be. In other words, the prints in a run of 30 will be rarer than a run of 100, so it is possible that the smaller run will be more valuable. If by "good" you mean which number in a particular series is best to buy, the answer is that there really isn't a better number. The print marked 1/30 and the one marked 30/30 will be identical and of equal value, assuming they are kept in similar condition. However, when a gallery sells prints in numerical order, the price may go up as the prints sell. In that case, you may pay more for print 30/30 than the buyer for 1/30 did. As the price increases, the extra amount paid could mean a lower return on investment. Shop a large collection of art prints on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023

    Purses were originally made for men. Although we now largely equate handbags with women's apparel and accessories, purses have been practical accessories since hunter-gatherers wandered the earth carrying foraged fruits and nuts in simple handmade pouches marked with a scratch or two to denote ownership. In Ancient Egypt, pouches were worn by men around their waists. During the 16th century, men proudly proclaimed their wealth with coin pouches hanging from their belts, while women carried their possessions, scented and secreted, in the folds of their voluminous skirts. Later, purses became more commonly carried by women than men. Find a variety of handbags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    CC on a purse usually indicates the Chanel brand. Coco Chanel introduced the now-iconic interlocking C logo in 1925, and the French luxury fashion house has used it ever since. On handbags like the Chanel Trendy CC and the Classic Flap Bag, the clasp is in the shape of the logo. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of Chanel bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    To display your purse at home, you should typically place it upright on a shelf in a cool, dry area that doesn't receive direct sunlight. Stuffing your bag with acid-free tissue paper or white cotton towels will help it maintain its shape between uses. Refer to the care and storage instructions provided by the maker for specific instructions. Shop a variety of bags on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024
    How long purses last depends largely on their materials and the quality of their craftsmanship. Carefully handmade bags crafted out of full-grain leather can last for 20 to 30 years or even longer. However, mass-produced bags and pieces made of other materials may begin to show signs of wear and tear sooner. Keep in mind that how frequently you carry your bag and how you care for and store it will also affect its longevity. Follow the care advice provided by the maker to preserve your bag for as long as possible. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of handbags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
