Decisions, Decisions: Choosing the Perfect Classic Handbag to Add to Your Collection"
Ok, if you have read my previous post you know I am trying to attempt to only purchase one handbag this entire year… (which is very, very hard for me) my focus in this post is should that bag be one of the classics? There are so many iconic options out there, it is a serious challenge for me to narrow down the options. But I am going to try…. the below are my top five handbags that I think are classics, but I do not have…
Let's take a closer look at my five contenders vying for the coveted title of my new favorite accessory: the Louis Vuitton Artsy, Loewe Puzzle Bag, Gucci Jackie, Goyard, and Prada Galleria. Each one boasts its own unique charm and style, making the decision all the more exciting!
1. **Louis Vuitton Artsy:**
With its slouchy silhouette and iconic LV monogram, the Louis Vuitton Artsy exudes effortless elegance. Perfect for the woman who values both fashion and functionality, this spacious tote is ideal for carrying all your essentials in style. Whether you're running errands or attending a chic brunch with friends, the Artsy adds a touch of luxury to any ensemble. I cannot tell you how many years I have loved this bag. I wish I bought the Artsy and not the Neverfull MM. The shoulder strap… the structure, ugh its total heaven. I’ve also debated the embossed black version?? What do you think?
2. **Loewe Puzzle Bag:**
The Loewe Puzzle Bag is a true masterpiece of design. I think this bag defines quiet luxury. I just imagine wearing this with a slouchy cream cashmere cardigan - delightful!!! I also love that this isn’t super mainstream popular and you do not see it everywhere.
3. **Gucci Jackie:**
This bag is 100% the front runner. I love the thought of sharing a piece of fashion history - and that’s what this bag is. Gucci released this bag in 1960 and it has stood the test of time. It would feel so special to me having the same bag as Jackie Kennedy.

4. **Goyard:** Elevate your accessory game with the classic elegance of the Goyard handbag. Known for its iconic chevron print and impeccable craftsmanship, Goyard is the epitome of understated luxury. From its timeless tote bags to its chic clutches, each piece is a testament to the brand's storied heritage and commitment to quality. With a Goyard bag by your side, you'll exude sophistication and style with every step you take.
5. **Prada Galleria:** Make a statement with the timeless allure of the Prada Galleria bag. Crafted from luxurious Saffiano leather and adorned with the brand's iconic triangle logo, this bag is a true symbol of Italian craftsmanship. With its spacious interior and classic silhouette, the Galleria is the perfect blend of fashion and function. Whether you're heading to the office or out for a night on the town, this bag effortlessly complements any look.
So, which classic handbag will you choose to add to your collection? Whether you're drawn to the effortless elegance of the Louis Vuitton Artsy, the unique design of the Loewe Puzzle Bag, the vintage-inspired glamour of the Gucci Jackie, the understated luxury of Goyard, or the timeless allure of the Prada Galleria, one thing's for sure – you can't go wrong with any of these iconic options.
