The Timeless of Chanel
The bag Timeless of Chanel lives up to its name, as if the House had decided the future of this great classic upon its release: it will be a timeless success or nothing! Now available in different formats and colors, this bag with chain and leather strap is originally a revisited version by Karl Lagerfeld of the 2.55, imagined 30 years earlier by Coco Chanel in person.
And if knowing that the Timeless bears the stamp of these two fashion icons is not enough to convince you, you will quickly discover the short film recently produced by Sofia Coppola around this handbag.
Hermès Birkin

Oh the Birkin d’Hermès ! The sac the most popular in the world, one of the most expensive too, is on the lips of all fans of luxury bags. Named after Jane Birkin, it was designed in the early 1980s by the latter after a chance meeting with the President of the House Hermes on a Paris-London flight. Its sober curves meet the desires of the British singer, who wanted a fashion accessory that was both elegant and functional. If you're hoping to get your hands on it like Samantha Jones in one of the episodes of Sex & the City, be aware that it could be years before you can get it - even if you pull off schemes like Carrie Bradshaw's friend! Those in a hurry will be delighted to find what they are looking for on Vintega, which has a vast selection of second-hand bags that cannot be found elsewhere.
Gucci's Marmont
Recognizable by its quilted appearance and its retro-looking GG buckle, the sac by hand Marmont symbolizes the sulphurous spirit of the Italian House. Indeed, the name of this collection was not chosen at random: the Château Marmont, a Californian hotel popular with stars is THE place of all excesses. There are countless scandals and secrets surrounding this place and its very famous customers.
For the record, this collaboration was unveiled during the Cruise fashion show 2019 of Gucci in another iconic place, but this time closer to home: the Alyscamps necropolis in Arles.
The Louis Vuitton Speedy

The Kelly of Hermes
Another flagship model ofHermes, another fashion legend. But unlike Birkin, the Kelly d'Hermès, named after Grace Kelly, does not signify the involvement of the Princess of Monaco in the creative process. With its recognizable trapezoid shape, this accessory released in the 1930s was the first Shoulder Bag for women – the start of a great love story! It was only 20 years later that it took its current name: on photos that became famous, the handbag shares the spotlight with Grace Kelly who uses it to hide the curves of a happy event. The years have passed, the success has remained, and the stars no longer need a valid excuse to adopt it!
The Lady Dior

We love the Lady Dior for its chic side, with its generous round handles which make it unique. This bag Dior would have been ordered by Bernadette Chirac as a gift to Princess Diana during her visit to Paris in 1995. The latter made it her favorite bag and gave it its status as an iconic fashion accessory. Like everything inspired by the nineties – and the very stylish Lady Diana! – it is still very popular today. Its versatile side allows it to be worn in the hand with an androgynous-style suit or over the shoulder with a bomber jacket for a fashionable look.
Le Neverfull de Louis Vuitton
Undoubtedly one of the most spacious of this selection, the Neverfull de Louis Vuitton proves practical for the less orderly among us... With its tote style and minimalist look, it is a great favorite in the world of fashion: it adapts particularly well to everyday use, but with all the same luxurious touch specific to Louis Vuitton. Its relatively recent launch compared to certain pieces of this top 10|Icon|11|Icon certainly explains its universal and all-purpose style. THE Neverfull was initially just a bag intended for the summer season
The Monogram of Saint Laurent
The Monogram is THE clutch to have with you. Signed with the initials of the House Saint Laurent and equipped with a thin chain strap, it brilliantly complements all the pieces of the wardrobe, from the little black dress to jeans. This handbag trend gives them that little je ne sais quoi that makes the difference: this is what has earned it its status as an iconic fashion piece throughout the world! Revisited since its creation in multiple formats, colors and materials, it still proudly displays the monogram YSL so famous.
Gucci's Jackie
Certainly the most daring of this list in terms of style, the bucket bag Jackie from Gucci combines – at least the original model – a Diamante canvas and green and red bands Gucci. It's the first Lady Jackie Kennedy who made it an it-bag by ordering no less than 6 during a shopping session! It was then renamed in his honor. Over the decades, it has been revisited by the creators of the House Gucci which compete in eccentricity: candy pink leather, suede beige or more recently floral or python patterns, the bag Gucci accompanies the most stylish stars, from Barbra Streisand to Emma Stone and Elle Fanning. Symbol of its subversive side, it is also adopted by men, like Samuel Beckett or Harry Styles more recently.
Celine's Luggage
The Luggage had to be in this selection, because it represents the renewal of luxury leather goods, between assumed modernity and traditional codes. Inspired by a drawing found in the House archives Celine, it is decorated with folding winged sides which give it its original shape. A guarantee of its current well-established success, it has been adopted by the most fashionable women of the moment, from Alexa Chung to Mary-Kate Olsen. If you are not one of those who don't want it because they see a robot face staring at them (yes, yes, look closely!), you will love wearing this sac Celine daily !
And you, which bag is the object of all your desires? Pssst, at Vintega, the luxury bags are second-hand, so we can even let you make a top 3!
