Freshly appointed Céline’s creative director, Phoebe Philo gave the label a handbag that sent the world into a full-on fashion tizzy. The Luggage Tote, with its signature squiggles and expandable shape, was minimalist in look, but with enough personality to be nicknamed The Smile bag. (Look close, and you’ll see a sort of face.). The style launched in 2011, and it didn’t take long for demand to reach waiting-list status. Roomy yet refined, the Luggage Tote decorated the arms of all the most discerning people—it was an It bag, yes, but one that was to be taken seriously. With only the tiniest of logos, printed in dainty metallic letters, the Luggage Tote didn’t need anything else to indicate that it was a bag worth carrying. The bag is still coveted to this day, and can be found in a range of sizes.
In the fateful month of February 1955, Gabrielle Chanel presented a bag that would forever define the house of Chanel, even sans logo! (It was Mr. Lagerfeld who thought to apply the interlocking Cs to the bag; more on that below.) The exterior was quilted wool, inspired by the saddle blankets at the horse races Gabrielle frequented. Now the bags come in a variety of leathers and the interiors are a burgundy color, allegedly the same shade as the uniforms Gabrielle wore in the convent. (The chains on which the nuns’ keys jangled was another point of reference, inspiring the ingenious chain strap that converted a shoulder bag into a crossbody.) The front lock, now dubbed by the house as the Mademoiselle, is an 100 pieghe cappello chef cosa rappresenta elegant rectangular closer. In 2005, the 2.55 was famously re-issued by Karl Lagerfeld, who then watched the heritage handbag ascend to It-bag greatness.
The grand dame of It bags really needs no introduction. She’s the Birkin, named after Jane Birkin, and she came onto the scene in 1984. A bag of a very different variety features in the Birkin’s origin story: In the early ’80s, Ms. Birkin found herself sitting next to Jean-Louis Dumas, then-chief executive of cappello a bombetta instagram Hermès, on an Air France flight from Paris to London. It’s said that after the contents of her straw bag spilled during an exchange with Dumas, the two set about designing Birkin’s ideal accessory on a paper bag provided by the airline for nauseous passengers. Little did they know, fashion history was being doodled that day. Rumors about the waiting lists are true; so too are reports that a Birkin is as good an investment as pure gold. Famously, Ms. Birkin sported her Birkin with travel stickers on it, but most lucky owners alpini cappello of the bag today—which can reach a staggering $400,000 depending on which exotic skin you choose and the size of the diamond you’d like encrusted in the hardware—likely wouldn’t dream of defacing the handbag with their own sticky additions. Nevertheless, it all began with Ms. Birkin’s uncalculated chic.
Ugly shoes: We like ’em clunky, clompy, and clacky. Maybe so big that they can even moonlight as a weapon. Just when we think the tastes bulbous clogs or crunchy kicks are coming to an end, and that we will once again revert back to dainty, pretty strappy heels, they rear their charmingly heinous soles once again.
