5. Dior Saddle Bag
The Saddle Bag was first created in 1999 at the peak of John Galliano’s Dior tenure. Its initial appearance toed the line between what was considered high fashion and, for lack of a better word, ugly. Intended to be worn short-strapped and tight against the arm like a saddle, the accessory became an instant trend sported by everyone from Beyoncé to Carrie Bradshaw. In 2018 Maria Grazia Chiurri relaunched this bag and it has since become a part of the classic styles of the brand. The Dior Saddle bag takes its cues from the equestrian world. The inspiration can be seen in the graphic design with the now iconic asymmetrical flap that is reminiscent of a saddle shape.
At this point the Saddle can already be considered a classic, more than 20 years after its launch it remains one of the most popular bags of the brand!
6. Ralph Lauren Polo ID Bag
Part of the Polo ID collection the handbag is inspired by a sense of adventure, romance, and optimism. This Italian leather mini shoulder bag evokes a vivacious elegance and subtle equestrian sensibility with its dual-compartment saddle silhouette that can transform from a shoulder bag into a croissant-shaped wristlet. It’s finished with a brass plaque showcasing the silhouette of the signature Pony cut out on gold-tone brass hardware reminiscent of vintage ID bracelets.

7. Louis Vuitton Twist
Crafted from the House’s emblematic Epi leather, the Twist chain bag features the now-iconic LV Twist lock, a sculptural signature in silvery polished metal. Unexpectedly roomy thanks to the cleverly designed “wave” base, this beautifully made bag is a fashionable day-to-evening companion. The sliding chain strap can be doubled for shoulder carry or lengthened for cross-body wear. A New Classic of the House, the Twist bag was introduced at the 2015 Cruise show. A departure from the brand’s signature monogram print, the Twist is neat, compact and available in an assortment of colourful shades and patterns. But you can never go wrong with a classic black bag!

8. Celine Triomphe Bag
This might be the perfect winter crossbody bag. The Celine Triomphe bag was designed by Hedi Slimane in 2018 and it bears the Celine logo designed by Celine Vipiana herself. In 1973, Vipiana introduced a newly designed logo that featured an intertwined double C design, with an intricate center pattern that nodded to the architecture of the Arc de Triomphe.

This is a popular bag, but not so much as the Gucci or Louis Vuitton ones we see around, it is an amazing style you won’t regret buying!

If you are looking for a crossbody with a classic silhouette that will not break the bank, this is the one! Elegant by name and nature, the Grace bag makes for a polished everyday companion. In typical A.P.C. style, this accessory has a streamlined trapezoidal silhouette that’s minimally accented with golden hardware. The small size is deceptive: you’ll find two extra side pockets as well as a central compartment inside. The adjustable shoulder strap allows you to wear it on the shoulder or crossbody.
A practical and elegant bag this is one you will not regret buying!
10. Gucci Jackie 1961
Like the enduring allure of the woman it’s named after, The Jackie is a bag that will never go out of style. In 1961, Gucci introduced a Hobo-style bag that caught the eye of Jackie Kennedy, whose husband so famously loved Gucci’s loafer moccasins. It’s said that upon seeing a paparazzi image of Jackie Kennedy with the bag (then called the Fifties Constance), the Gucci family quickly christened the bag the Jackie. The classic hobo-shape saw many iterations under Tom Ford and Frida Giannini, but its latest incarnation comes by way of Michele, who in 2021 gave us a spin on The Jackie with a bit more structure, an adjustable strap, and a piston closure. Brought back to the forefront, the recognizable shape is presented in many materials like leather and the GG Supreme canvas.
No matter which one you choose this is a beautiful bag that will be a cherished item in your wardrobe forever.
