    While some of the best designer handbags can go in and out of style, there are a handful of silhouettes that will always stand the test of time. Think of these styles as the ultimate investment. Similar to a black blazer, white tee, or pair of jeans, a good handbag is an integral part of a successful capsule wardrobe\u2013and there\u2019s a version for every occasion, season, and personal style.<\/p>\n

    All that\u2019s left to do is to find the perfect piece for you. Easier said than done, though, right? So before making a considerable investment (remember, the right designer handbags will increase in value on the secondhand market), there are certain questions to ask yourself: what purpose does your bag need to serve? Are you going for plain, patent, or suede leather\u2013or avoiding leather altogether? Is it heritage or contemporary designers that you\u2019re drawn to? Are you looking for a zingy style to grab attention or a quietly elegant companion?<\/p>\n

    Then there\u2019s the question of budget. In the luxury market, there\u2019s essentially no limit to how much you can spend, but whether you opt for something more affordable or are willing to splurge on a pricier bag, we recommend setting your budget before going on a spree. Lastly, consider compatibility. Leveling up your bag game? Ensure the winning style goes with the majority of your wardrobe. Versatility is key.<\/p>\n

    From elevated carryalls to structured styles, fun-sized to functional (pretty doesn\u2019t have to mean impractical), here\u2019s our guide to all the essential handbag silhouettes and styles. Whether you invest in an Herm\u00e8s Birkin or opt for a Loewe Puzzle, making a decision might be the trickiest part, but worry not, the Vogue<\/em> shopping team has done the hard work for you. Scroll on to see our ultimate designer handbag line-up.<\/p>\n

    The Future Heirloom: The Row Marlow<\/h2>\n

    If you missed out on The Row\u2019s now near-impossible-to-buy Margaux, consider the Marlow its spiritual successor. With the same understated refinement and meticulous leatherwork, the Marlow continues the house\u2019s tradition of creating covetable bags that quietly command attention. Like its predecessor, it\u2019s already proving hard to get\u2014cementing its status as the next great Row heirloom.<\/p>\n

    The Sculptural Style: Loewe Puzzle Bag<\/h2>\n

    First introduced as Jonathan Anderson\u2019s debut bag at Loewe, the Puzzle quickly became a fashion-insider favorite for its origami-like panels and clever, shape-shifting construction. Now, with Proenza Schouler founders Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez stepping in as Loewe\u2019s creative directors, the Puzzle remains a house cornerstone\u2014offered in multiple sizes and colorways, with the classic full-size in black or beige still the chicest bet.<\/p>\n

    When Carrie Bradshaw slung a whipstitched Fendi baguette over her shoulder in the Sex And The City<\/em> TV series, she launched a worldwide sellout. And while the style has never really gone away, it has seen a serious renaissance over the last decade, with a new generation discovering its Noughties charm.<\/p>\n

    The Noughties throwback: Balenciaga Le City<\/h2>\n

    Balenciaga\u2019s Le City bag was a favorite of Noughties It-girls\u2013think the Olsen twins, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan and made a full-fledged comeback in 2024 with refreshed proportions and multiple colorways. Under Balenciaga\u2019s current creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, the archival icon endures as a house staple\u2014equally tempting in its new iterations and on the resale hunt. While there are plenty of fashion lovers reaching for the new model, which comes in a range of colorways, there are others, including British Vogue<\/em>\u2019s Naomi Smart, who are securing theirs second-hand on preloved sites such as eBay and Vinted.<\/p>\n

    The Timeless Icon: Herm\u00e8s Birkin<\/h2>\n

    Is there any handbag more iconic than the Herm\u00e8s Birkin? We think not. Created in 1984, the bag was named after fashion icon and actor, Jane Birkin, who, after finding herself sitting next to Jean-Louis Dumas, CEO of Herm\u00e8s, on a flight, famously sketched the design on a sick bag. The rest, as they say, is history. Notoriously hard to get hold of, it can take years on waiting lists to get your hands on a new one, but pre-loved versions can be found on multiple resale sites. This is a purchase that will last a lifetime\u2013and then some.<\/p>\n

    The Cult Archive Bag: Dior Lady Dior<\/h2>\n

    Another iconic bag named after another iconic woman, Dior\u2019s Lady Dior bag was a direct result of the Princess Diana effect. Originally called the Chouchou, the boxy top-handle bag was gifted to Diana by the First Lady of France in September 1995, and after being recommissioned in blue by the royal, it was renamed the Diana in 1996. It remains one of the brand\u2019s most popular bags.<\/p>\n
