The Best Designer Bags of All Time, According to an Expert

That’s why we’re here today, to help guide you if you’re looking to make a luxury bag investment, into choosing the best accessory that you’ll be able to cherish forever. The Who What Wear team collectively have decades of experience working in the fashion industry, and we’ve seen many an ‘It’ bag come and go (and come back again). We’ve also seen which styles have endured—and it’s those that are truly worth your money. So I brought the question to the wider team, and I reached out to industry experts to ask their opinions and together we’ve curated the ultimate list of the best designer bags of all time. 

Of course, buying a bag that feels extremely special and right for you is a very personal choice. You might want a very recognisable logo to elevate all your outfits, or a more subtle design that speaks more to a quiet luxury. Your life might call for a more roomy tote bag, to throw everything in for work, kids or travel. Or you could be after something more compact, like a classic crossbody which works for both day and night. These bags may be luxurious, but they’re also made to be used, after all. All of these factors we’ve taken into account and, in my opinion, there’s something below to suit every taste and requirement. 

So, whether you’re looking to treat someone else and completely nail your gift choice, or treat yourself (rightly so), scroll down to get inspired by the ultimate list of the best designer bags of all time, according to the experts…
