Welcome to our post about The Most Expensive Designer Bags!
We all know luxury bags are expensive, but here you will see which cost the most! You won’t see here those limited-edition diamond bags worth one million dollars, the bags you’ll see here are all classics that have always been in style.
So, without further ado here are The Most Expensive Designer Bags:
1. Lana Marks Princess Diana Handbag
In 1997, Diana asked her friend, designer Lana Marks, to commission a top handle bag. The result, the Princess Diana Handbag, ended up being one of the princess’ go-to accessories. Like the Princess, this bag is elegant and sleek, a true statement piece. The front fold over of the bag is cut to the LANA MARKS signature contour and accented with delicate contoured piping. The details of this bag represent an extraordinary level of craftsmanship.
Today this beautiful bag is available in alligator and ostrich.
2. Hermès Birkin Bag
The Birkin bag is the most famous and popular bag in the world, and for sure one of the most classic. The Birkin was designed in 1983 when Hermès creative director Jean-Louis Dumas set next to the actress Jane Birkin on a flight. She was wearing a straw tote and explained that most leather bags were too structured for her taste. So Dumas designed the bag on that flight on the back of a napkin.
Today the Birkin is an icon and is the kind of bag that will last you your whole life.
3. Hermès Kelly Bag
One of the most classic bags ever, the Kelly will never go out of style! In 1935 Émile-Maurice Hermès diversified the brands offerings designing a bag for his wife to carry. Called the Sac à Dépêches the bag was practical and elegant with a classic style. The accessory achieved worldwide recognition in 1956 when the American actress and princess of Monaco Grace Kelly used her Sac à Dépêches to cover her pregnant belly from the paparazzi. As soon as the photo of that is published on the cover of Life Magazine women from all over the world start running to Hermès asking for the Kelly Bag. In response the brand changed the bags name to the Kelly, and history was made.
Today an icon of elegance and sophistication, the Kelly is one of the most sought-after bags on the resale market, not only for its timeless style but also for the enduring allure of the woman it is named after.
4. Chanel Classic Flap
The Chanel handbag that would ultimately become synonymous with the brand was not created until 1983. The Chanel Classic Double Flap was first introduced when Karl Lagerfeld became creative director and decided to reinterpret Chanel’s iconic 2.55 Flap Bag. From his artistic vision came two new features – a leather woven chain and Double C turn-lock closure. Lagerfeld’s Classic Double Flap was a breakout success.
Almost forty years later, and out of all the Chanel handbags on the market, the Classic Double Flap remains one of the most sought-after pieces ever crafted.
5. Louis Vuitton Capucines
Because of its price range and limited-edition versions I believe Louis Vuitton created this bag to compete with Hermès bags. The now-classic Capucines handbag displays a host of House signatures: leather-wrapped LV Initials, jewel-like handle mounts inspired by historic trunks, and a distinctive flap with a Monogram Flower motif. Timelessly elegant, this charming model can be carried by hand or worn cross-body on its detachable strap. First launched in 2013, the Capucines is named for the Parisian street where Louis Vuitton first opened shop, in 1854. Since its launch, this bag has become one of the most famous Louis Vuitton bags. The quality of the bag and the attention to detail is unmatched.
It’s a sophisticated style, perfect for both day and night.
6. Joseph Duclos Diane Bag
The brand’s history begins in 1754, when King Louis XV signed the Letters Patent in Versailles that would lead to the creation of the Royal Leather Manufacture. It gathered the best craftsmen in France, handling this fine material with an expertise that remains unequalled in Europe. Today, that heritage is more present than ever through each of Joseph Duclos` bags, pochettes and small leather goods. With its elegant cut, natural leather and iconic clasp, the Diane bag pays homage to the hunting goddess. Just like her, it celebrates powerful yet natural femininity. Carried on the arm or over the shoulder thanks to its shoulder strap, it gives the woman who owns it a distinguished air.
A heritage brand that is not so well known Joseph Duclos offers the very best in leather craftsmanship and timeless style.
7. Delvaux Tempête Bag
With quality, history and prices that rival Hermès, Delvaux bags are some of the most amazing you will ever find! The 1967-original Tempête shape served as inspiration for the Tempête, which provides a timeless design for daily use. The Tempête is one of Delvaux’s most recognizable bags thanks to its graphic lines, which were inspired by the trapeze of a sailboat, and unique jewel-like silver studded clasps. The Tempête can be worn in a variety of ways because it can be worn with or without a strap. Additionally, its distinctive studded clasps, which can be worn open or closed to provide two different attitudes and styles, give a refined glamour.
This is one of the most luxurious bags ever!
8. Lady Dior
A bag that was designed almost 30 years ago in honor of one of the biggest style icons in fashion history, the Lady Dior is one of the most beautiful designer bags! In 1995 Bernadette Chirac, then First Lady of France, requested Dior to custom design a bag for Lady Diana. The bag was gifted to the princess while she was on an official visit to Paris, it instantly became one of her favorite bags! After that Lady Diana was spotted multiple times carrying the bag, so Dior decided to change its name to the Lady Dior in 1996, with the princess’s blessing. Described as iconic and legendary the brand launched the bag in a larger series, becoming a favorite of Dior clients.
This is a classic top handle bag that will never go out of style, and is a bag every handbag lover should know!
9. Fendi Peekaboo Bag
Designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi this bag was first presented at Fendi’s Spring 2009 show. This is the only bag a woman would be recommended to wear unfastened and unlocked. The Peekaboo has been designed with several compartments and a double closure so that it can be worn half-open – or half-closed. When it is only half closed, the bag hints at a color, texture, or leather creating a surprising contrast – hence its name. It comes in exotic leathers, fur and calfskin, and also comes in multiple colors, patterns and sizes.
The Peekaboo is sleek, classic and timeless, it will always be chic.
10. Moynat Réjane Bag
A quiet brand that is chic and understated, the bags are handmade with some of the best quality you will ever find and the Moynat Réjane is one of their most iconic bags! The Réjane, which was first made in 1903, was named after Gabrielle Réjane, a prominent figure in French theater. It was the first ever bag to be named after a star. The simple, feminine lines are reminiscent of classic Moynat trunk detailing. Each bag takes a single artisan 20 hours to make using the intricate method known as bords francs, which exposes the leather edges of the piece all at once. This timeless design is completed by the jewel-like, Art Deco-inspired clasp, the bag also has a removable shoulder strap that allows for multiple ways of wearing it.
This bag is chic, quiet and timeless, all you could need in a designer bag!
