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 like The RealReal and Fashionphile, selling and buying designer bags is now easier than ever.

But not all designer bags have high resale value. Some styles simply get old-fashioned and are less lucrative on the second-hand market.

The Row's 90's bag

Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen founded The Row in the year 2006 when they founded The Row. They set out to create a brand that was based on the quality of craftsmanship and simple. The sisters have mastered the art of balancing minimalistic style with polished polish. It's clear that their style has been translated into bags. Over the years The Row's tote bags have earned them a cult following, favored by celebs like Gigi Hadid and Emma Watson. The Row's sleek silhouettes are impeccably made (making their four-figure prices more justifiable) and are modern, yet timeless, too.

The Row's 90's Bag is a testament to the label's commitment to understated elegance. The slender shoulder bags are inspired by the silhouettes of the 90s. They are made of soft calfksin, with piped details and softly smooth corners. Its simple design makes it easy to wear with a blazer or dress down with jeans, making it a versatile accessory for any occasion.

This season, The Row is also introducing the Half Moon bag--a curvy, logo-free silhouette that could have been introduced in the '90s. The Half Moon bag is a favourite of fashion-conscious celebrities, including Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner.

The half-moon design is among the top searches on Lyst for 2023, despite the fact that this bag hasn't yet hit stores. If you're interested in adding The Row's latest offering to the collection, pre-order it. The bag will ship in June. In the meantime, shop similar styles from The Row, Coperni, and JW Anderson to find your perfect bag. You can also choose an affordable duplicate such as Mango or Staud. Both offer sleek silhouettes with the same minimalist aesthetic.

This bag is a great option if you're looking to buy an upscale handbag. It's been seen on numerous celebrities and features a unique metallic handle that's shaped like the shape of a fish. Plus, it is designed by Bottega Veneta.

The famous Intrecciato bags have graced the shoulders of many fashion-forward women but the Venetian label has never had that "it" factor Handbag until Daniel Lee was hired as creative director in the year 2018. Lee's wacky interpretations of the intrecciato weave, as well as the sought-after puffy bags, totes and bucket bags have given the brand the much-needed street image.

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. While the style has similarities with the Jodie bag that was initially created by Lee the Sardine is a fresh take on a timeless silhouette with its distinctive dimensions, handle design and a magnetic closure.

Sardine has been adopted by trendy girls like Rosie Huntington Whiteley and Kendall Jenner. It is available on their Instagram accounts. The white version was worn by the former, while the dark chocolate brown version was worn by Kendall Jenner at the US Open with her pantsless outfit (look 47 from Blazy's debut collection). According to British Vogue the bag is actually quite large. Vogue India's cover star for September Sonam Kapoor Ahuja told the publication that she has two hairbrushes and glasses, sunglasses, a wallet an arm fan and makeup in her bag. For those who prefer a smaller size the brand has released a mini version of the Sardine.

Jacquemus' "Le Chiquito" mini bag sparked a stir in the fashion world when it first debuted during his Fall 2017 show during NYFW. The tiny bag is less than the size of a credit card and can fit into the palm of your hand. The bag quickly became popular and was seen on numerous celebrities and models.

The Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag comes in five different colors. Each is adorned with the logo's sans serif design, a removable shoulder strap and a snap closure. The bag is available in wicker or leather versions.

While the Jacquemus Le Chiquito is a must for anyone who loves fashion but it's important to keep in mind that this is an extremely expensive mini bag. It's possible to get similar designs for less when you shop the pre-owned market. But, it's crucial to be aware of obvious signs that indicate the Jacquemus bag is not genuine.

The shape and stitching are the most crucial things to think about. The stitching and handle attachments should be straight and neat. You can also check out the label to make sure that it's genuine. Jacquemus bags are minimalist in design which makes them a great accessory for any outfit.
