A much-repeated verse in a style maven’s bible today is that one can never have too many bags—and many of us can attest to this. Within the fashion landscape, the apex of desirability in the zeitgeist often manifests itself through this singular accessory. For June, our monthly Editor’s Picks series takes on a special angle, taking a deep dive into the world of bags both big and small from fashion’s biggest legacy brands. Think of a myriad of potentially era-defining bags of today like The Row’s much-coveted Margaux bag, Loewe’s whimsical and highly spacious Squeeze bag, Prada’s redux of its iconic two-handle bag first seen in 1978 or the persisting allure of the Givenchy Antigona bag.
Within the space, the secondhand market has quickly cemented itself as a go-to option for bag fanatics. Highly desirable, now out-of-production models tend to float around there, bestowing limitless options for all to shop from. Be it the statement Dior Saddle bags from John Galliano’s illustrious tenure at Dior, the Mombasa bag from Tom Ford’s tenure at Saint Laurent which might have been a catalyst for Bottega Veneta’s iconic Sardine bag now, or the tempting array of Karl Lagerfeld era Chanel bags, it’s hard to ignore the impact of the used bags market on today’s consumers. Ranging from affordable to staggering, auction-appropriate prices, there’s something for everyone of every possible sartorial style and every budget.
