Top 5 Designer Handbags in Sale
Handbags have become more than just a fashion accessory, they are an investment. With the explosion of online consignment stores such as The RealReal and Fashionphile, selling and buying designer bags is now easier than ever.
However, not all designer bags are high potential for resales. Certain styles are out of style, which makes them less lucrative on the second-hand market.
The Row's 90s bag
When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen launched The Row in 2006 They set out to establish a brand which was awash in craftsmanship and simplicity. The sisters have perfected the art of balancing sleek minimalism with polished polish. It's clear that their style has been adapted to bags. The Tote bag of the Row has gained an elitist following over the years. Gigi Hadid, Emma Watson and others are admirers. The Row's streamlined silhouettes are flawlessly made (making their four-figure prices more attainable) and look modern, but timeless, too.
The 90s-themed Row Bag is a symbol of the label's commitment towards understated elegance. The slender shoulder bags are inspired by the silhouettes of the 90s. They are constructed of soft calfksin, with piping details and softly smooth corners. Its minimal silhouette is easy to wear with a blazer or down with jeans, making it a versatile accessory for any occasion.
The Row also unveils the Half Moon bag this season--a sleek silhouette with no logo that could easily been released in 1990. Despite its contemporary roots the silhouette is now a popular choice for editors and fashion-conscious celebrities who include Sophie Turner, Elsa Hosk, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Emily Ratajkowski.
While this bag isn't yet to hit stores, the half moon silhouette is already one of Lyst's top searches for 2023. If you want to add The Row’s latest offering to their collection, you can pre-order it. The bag will ship in June. In the meantime, browse similar styles from The Row, Coperni, and JW Anderson to find your perfect bag. You can also choose an affordable copy such as Mango or Staud. Both offer sleek silhouettes with the same minimalist design.
Brandon Blackwood's Kendrick Trunk
Brandon Blackwood may not have been in your mind until Kim Kardashian posted a picture of her wearing the iconic End Systemic Racism tote bag from the brand. It was the moment that catapulted Brandon Blackwood to "It" status. His Kendrick line has a selection of gorgeous bags that walk the fine line between plain and striking (with models worn by celebs like Saweetie). The Kendrick Trunk is crafted from faux leather in earth tones and is finished with striking ombre salvator Lizard panels. The new collection is available online.

Bottega Veneta's Sardine Bag
If you're in the market for an upscale bag you should look into this one. The bag has been seen on a variety of celebrities. It also has a cool fish-shaped metallic handle. Plus, it is produced by Bottega Veneta.
Daniel Lee, the brand's creative director, was hired in 2018 to give the Venetian label the "it" factor. Lee gave the brand some much-needed street style cred with his playful takes on the signature intrecciato weave, the sought-after puffy clutches and bags, as well as gargantuan bucket bags, and totes.
When new designer Matthieu Blazy debuted his first Fall 2022 collection for the Italian fashion house this year, all eyes were on the accessories--particularly the Sardine bag, a supple pouch with a unique sculptural top handle that's reminiscent of the fish-shaped Sardine motif. The style is similar to the Jodie bag which was initially created by Lee. However, the Sardine bag is a new take on an iconic silhouette, with its distinctive dimensions and handle design.
Sardine has already been adopted by it-girls such as Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Kendall Jenner. It can be seen on their Instagram accounts. The former has sported the white version, and Kendall Jenner recently wore a dark chocolate brown one with a pants-less outfit (look 47 from Blazy's debut collection) for a appearance at the US Open. According to British Vogue the bag is surprisingly spacious. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, the September cover girl of Vogue India, told the magazine she keeps two hairbrushes in her bag along with sunglasses, glasses and a wallet. The brand also launched the smaller version of the Sardine for those who prefer to be smaller.

Jacquemus' Signature Mini Bag
Jacquemus, founded by Simon Porte in 2009, is a French brand that sells clothing and accessories for the unique woman. The designer is renowned for his simple designs with a raw edge. Each collection tells a distinct story of the Jacquemus girl, regardless of whether she's an industrial worker or a pop icon from the 90s. Jacquemus is an emerging brand that is loved by celebrities and fashion influencers too.
The "Le Chiquito", a mini bag designed by Jacquemus, caused a stir when it was first shown at his Fall 2017 NYFW show. The small bag is smaller than the size of a credit card and can fit into the palm of your hand. The bag quickly gained traction and was soon seen on a variety of celebrities and models.
The Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag is available in five distinct colors. Each features the logo's sans serif design, a removable shoulder strap and an adjustable snap closure. The bag is available in leather or wicker versions.
While the Jacquemus Le Chiquito is an essential purchase for any fashion-conscious person, it's important to keep in mind that this is an extremely expensive mini bag. You can find similar designs for less when you shop the pre-owned market. It's nevertheless important to be aware of the tell-tale signs that Jacquemus bags are fake.
The primary aspect to consider is the design and stitching of the bag. The handle attachment must be symmetrical and firm and the stitching must be straight and neat. Check the label for authenticity. Jacquemus bags feature a minimalist design which makes them an excellent accessory for any outfit.
