When you think about really iconic bagsThe brands that are likely to come to mind first are brands like Chanel, Hermesand Gucci. Typically, the fashion house of the same name with Cristóbal Balenciaga is not at the top of the list. But while classic handbag brands are certainly among our favorites, it’s Balenciaga who’s responsible for most of this year’s most popular accessories, from the Y2K-favourite. Le Cagole to Kim Kardashian’s trip Hourglass.
To celebrate Balenciaga’s exquisite dominance in the handbag sector, I have called luxury resale site Rebag to help me pick up some of the brand’s best styles, from former creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s City bag to Demna Gvasalia’s Hourglass, to the revolving IRL.
