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.

- Why is it called the tote bag?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024The reason why it is called a tote bag relates to the function of this type of handbag. To tote means to carry something.

- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 13, 2024Whether you can wash your tote bag in the washing machine depends on the bag. Some cloth tote bags may be machine washable, but other fabric bags and ones made of leather and suede may be suitable for spot cleaning only. Check the care tag inside your bag and any care instructions that came with it for specific advice on how to clean it. Explore a large collection of tote bags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if a Chloé tote bag is real, check the inside for a date code stamp. The first two digits of this code correspond to the month or season of manufacturing, and the second two tell you the year of production. Finally, the last digits represent the style number. Cross-reference this information with data shared on trusted online resources, looking for any discrepancies. For example, your piece may be counterfeit if the style number doesn't correspond to your particular bag or isn't found. Similarly, if Chloé didn't produce that bag during the month and year stamped in your bag, your tote may not be real. When in doubt, ask a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert to inspect your bag and give their opinion on its authenticity. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Chloé tote bags.
ChicjoySeptember 24, 2020Authentic Goyard bags are typically lighter in weight and thinner than fake Goyard bags. Authentic bags have discrete serial numbers embossed where the leather strap ends; whereas fake bags may have more conspicuous serial numbers in larger fonts and with deeper indentations.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024There are a few reasons why the Marc Jacobs tote bag is so popular. Many people find the bag's clean lines and bold typography to be visually appealing, and its generous size makes the bag ideal for shopping and day trips. In addition, many Gen Z and Millennial influencers began touting the benefits of the bag on TikTok and Instagram in 2023, boosting its popularity. Find a selection of Marc Jacobs bags on 1stDibs.
