From an airsickness-bag sketch that birthed a $437,000 auction record to a saddle bag stolen at gunpoint on TV, these bags aren’t just accessories — they’re cultural landmarks with their own origin stories, waitlists, and museum credits. Which one would you carry?
🏆 Leading: Hermès Kelly bag — Originally called the “Sac à dépêches,” it was renamed after Grace Kelly used it to shield her pregnancy from paparazzi in 1956, a moment that landed on the cover of LIFE magazine. Each bag is cut from a single unbroken hide to avoid visible seams and takes around 18 hours of handcraft to complete. (29%)
🥈 Chanel 2.55 — Designed by Coco Chanel herself in February 1955 (hence the name), it was one of the first luxury bags with a shoulder strap, freeing women’s hands — inspired by the straps on soldiers’ bags she saw during WWI. The diamond quilting is said to echo the coats worn by stable boys at her favorite racetrack, and the turn-lock clasp is nicknamed the “Mademoiselle lock,” a quiet nod to the fact Chanel never married.

🥉 Dior Saddle bag — Designed by John Galliano in 2000 and shaped like an equestrian saddle, complete with a “D”-shaped stirrup charm. It became a defining prop of Y2K fashion after Carrie Bradshaw carried it constantly on “Sex and the City” — even having it stolen at gunpoint in one episode. Its 2018 relaunch sold out worldwide almost instantly. (14%)🌍 🇨🇳 China, 🇸🇬 SingaporeSimilar to hewsay's "Which of these iconic women’s handbags is the ultimate status symbol?"
