There's no fashion status symbol quite like a designer handbag. From Chanel to Gucci and Louis Vuitton, the iconic logos and shapes are the epitome of lust-worthy. With every new season, designers give cult classics a fresh spin via new colours and fabrics and/or debut a new It silhouette to drive the masses wild. Both scenarios typically cause uproarious squeals or palpable pitter-patters of the heart.
For Spring 2020, some of our favourite luxury labels are delivering on incredible bags worthy of an investment with incredible detail and craftsmanship to boot. Take Bottega Veneta, for example. The buzzy Italian label's new Cassette Bag — which debuted for Fall 2019 — is at once classic and contemporary, taking inspiration from luxury car interiors of the 1970s whilst employing an innovative design technique (the woven leather is made with a specialised high-frequency heat-sealing technique to create the exaggerated and puffy appearance). Then there's Gucci's 1955 Horsebit bag which debuted for Cruise 2020. A reimagined take on an archival style, this sleek and structured bag is modelled from the same shoulder-style shape which launched over six decades ago, featuring equestrian-inspired hardware, sophisticated internal compartments, and a mechanism to adjust the length of the shoulder strap so it can be carried on one shoulder or crossbody. Talk about artistry and craftsmanship.
