4. Hermes Birkin
Would it even be a handbag list without a Birkin?
The legend of the Birkin goes something like this, according to Hermes.
“Who could have imagined that one of the most coveted objects of recent decades would be born in the sky, in 1984, on a flight from Paris to London? British actress Jane Birkin, sitting next to Jean-Louis Dumas, Executive Chairman of Hermès (1978-2006), was complaining that she couldn’t find a bag suitable for her needs as a young mother. A born creator with a keen eye, he immediately sketched a supple and spacious rectangular holdall with a burnished flap and saddle stitching. With a dedicated space for her baby’s bottles!”
Birkins can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can also snag a pre-loved bag that makes our best luxury item list for four figures.
5. Hermes Aline: Best Luxury Item
A Birkin is more than most people’s rent – for a year. You can still have a piece of this iconic brand for a fraction of the price.

New generations may discover her now, but she has been and will be – a classic.
7. Prada Galleria Saffiano
Prada has been synonymous with elegance since 1913.
This best luxury item “is an authentic fusion between industrial precision and the refined accuracy of craftsmanship that can only be performed by hand. The design is clean and elegant yet innately pragmatic, an aesthetic language blending form and function that combines history and modernity. Originating the definition of “timeless”, the Galleria bag has become a hallmark of Prada’s identity in the twenty-first century. The accessory, presented in the large version, is made of iconic Saffiano, a calf leather patented by Mario Prada that is resistant to scratches and water and defined by its crosshatch texture,” according to Prada.
8. Bottega Veneta Wallace
Bottega Veneta’s signature is the brand’s intrecciato technique – the iconic weave has defined the brand’s accessories since the early ’70s.
9. Dior Saddle bag
The Dior Saddle bag first made her appearance in 1999. She faded out for a while, but now she’s back – and vintage.
10. Goyard Saint Louis PM
If the Louis Vuitton Neverfull were to pick her favorite lunch date, it would probably be her friend Goyard Saint Louis.
The history, according to Goyard, is “The Saint Louis bag was initially designed as a beach bag. Reversible, with the Goyardine on the inside it is perfect for taking home wet things after a day at the beach. Its name is a reference to King Louis IX of France, known as Saint Louis.”
