Did you Know? Definition of an “It Bag”
Designer handbag fact of the day… ever wonder what the definition of an “It Bag” is? Wiki says the common term was coined in the 1990s with the explosive growth of the handbag market in fashion. Designers vied to produce one bag that would sell hundreds of thousands of units by becoming the bag “of the moment” — a single handbag style that would spread like wildfire in popularity through the intertwined worlds of fashion and celebrity, aided by clever or just plain lucky marketing.

The Hermes Birkin Bag

The Balenciaga City Bag
The Botkier Bianca Satchel
The Chloe Edith Handbag
