The initial encounter for a significant number of clients with fashion is through a handbag. A designer handbag that captures their imagination, becoming a life companion. Women's designer handbags carry great stories. Stories of renowned brands, influential women, or our own lives.
Luxury brands approach bags from an artisanal perspective. Handcrafted, made from the finest materials, and designed to be collectibles, these designer handbags have their own identity. Brands like Gucci, Prada, or Saint Laurent have iconic pieces alongside new successful proposals.
The history of women's designer handbags
The history of women's designer handbags is fascinating. Its presence dates back centuries when women carried small bags hanging from their belts. The radical transformation into what we now know as a women's handbag occurred in the 19th century. With the new concept of leisure and free time, women from higher classes began using bags with more elaborate designs, reflecting the evolution of their role in society.
At this point, some of the most well-known luxury brands emerged, becoming famous for their leather goods and artisanal suitcase industry. International tourism in the early 20th century reinforced the presence of these accessories, where brands found increasing creative strength.
Throughout the 20th century, major brands forged their identity around their handbags. Designer handbags were designer trademarks, from Saint Laurent and Balenciaga's clutch bags to Gucci or Loewe's larger pieces.
Each brand found its own use of materials. Prada, the renowned Italian fashion house, has left an indelible mark on the accessory world with its Saffiano leather. This embossed material becomes highly resistant to scratches.
Other brands associated their name with major celebrities. Like Saint Laurent, with its Kate handbag, or Gucci with the Jackie bag, they have managed to capture the essence of the great muses of the 20th century.
The hall of fame of designer handbags
It's challenging to narrow down the iconic models of the OTTODISANPIETRO brands to just a few.
For example, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, Gucci has revitalised the iconic GG Marmont bag. Its intertwined double G has become a status symbol, merging the history of the house with a touch of rebellion.
Loewe, with the craftsmanship of its models like the Puzzle bag or Loewe Amazona bag, has redefined craftsmanship in the fashion world.
The Row, the Olsen sisters' brand, has gained recognition for its luxurious minimalism. Their handbags, like the Margaux bag, reflect an elegant and polished aesthetic, making them collectibles for those who love fashion.
