Noe by Louis Vuitton
Designers at Louis Vuitton have created a huge number of women’s handbags that have become legendary. Alma, Speedy, Neverfull – each of these was a hit. But in 1932 the Noe model was designed at the request of one of the champagne producers and what an iconic masterpiece it became.

It quickly became a Louis Vuitton classic.

The Birkin Bag by Hermes
The Birkin bag is an exclusive luxury accessory released by Hermes in 1984. It’s rumored that this bag design came about when the head of Hermes was travelling with 80’s style icon and celebrity Jane Birkin and they got talking about how hard it is to find a convenient bag. Apparently that resulted in the Birkin Bag coming out two years later and the way that bag looks hasn’t changed since. What can we say, it’s a classic.

Le Pliage by Longchamp
Philippe Cassegrain, son of Jean Cassegrain founder of the French fashionable empire Longchamp became fascinated by the art of origami while traveling through Japan. When he returned he decided to use the origami technique to create a bag. That led to the creation of Le Pliage in the 70s. Straight lines, sharp corners and the ability to transform to the size of a wallet made it truly unique. And it’s been popular with the fashionistas ever since.

Kelly by Hermes
The story of this bag began in the 1930s. At that point it was called something different. But once Grace Kelly the Princess of Monaco made it an integral part of her style it became inevitable. One time she was even photographed trying to cover her baby bump with this bag. It became insanely popular then and was renamed Kelly in her honor.
