Finding the Right Handbags And Purses 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 Crocodile Bags Vintage
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if crocodile leather is genuine, start by examining the grain. A crocodile's scales gradually shift in size from large to small. If the grain pattern is perfectly regular or alternates between small and large scales, it is unlikely to be real.

    Yes, Crocodile Birkins are made from real Crocodiles. Niloticus croc is sourced from the Nile river; while Porosus croc is sourced from Asia or Australia. Niloticus scales are generally larger than Porosus. Niloticus is marked with a “..” diaeresis mark in foil; while Porosus is denoted by the “ˆ” (carat) mark in foil. Generally speaking, Porosus is more sought after and has greater resale value due to its smaller and more symmetrical scales.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a Fendi bag is vintage, first look for its serial number. If your bag lacks one, it was likely produced before 1980. Since any Fendi piece over 20 years old is considered vintage, a piece that lacks a serial number will usually be a vintage bag.

Alternatively, a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can assist you with the dating process. Shop a variety of Fendi bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023

While Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel began to design handbags during the 1920s, the 2.55, which debuted in February 1955, is an iconic vintage Chanel bag. The brand's best-known bag, the Classic Double Flap bag, includes Chanel's signature quilting and leather interlaced through a chain strap. Chanel Classic flap bags have been going strong since Karl Lagerfeld updated the beloved 2.55 handbag in the 1980s with the addition of the interlocking double Cs on the flap. Other celebrated bag styles are the Gabrielle and Boy bags. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of vintage Chanel bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    To date a vintage Gucci bag, locate its serial number. You can usually find it on the reverse of the logo-stamped leather label inside the bag.

Once you have the serial number, you can look it up in trusted online databases to find out when your bag was produced. If your bag doesn't have a serial number, it likely dates to before 1960, when Gucci first introduced serial numbers. Should you have difficulty determining the age of your bag, a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can assist you. Explore a large selection of vintage and contemporary Gucci bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024

    Several telltale signs allow you to authenticate a vintage Prada bag. Look at the logo for consistency — the Prada logo has a distinctive font, particularly the notch taken out of the “R." Fakes will often leave this detail out. All details, including patterns, fonts and stitching, should be neat and even. Prada uses the highest quality luxury leather to craft its bags, and a plastic-like smell or rough texture could indicate the bag is a fake. Find a collection of expertly-vetted Prada bags from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
