When a luxury brand does get their customers’ needs well, they tend to have on hand, a distinguishable handbag that would instantly be recognisable on the street. This in turn, making the bags achieving an iconic status. Take Alaïa for an example, with their east-west handbag that’s been replicated by other brands in the market (like the gorgeous woven Bottega Veneta). There’s also Dior’s spacious book tote, with all of its beautiful embroidery which you could personalise with your name as well.
This coveted “it bag” becomes a powerful symbol of the brand’s identity, driving desire and commanding premium prices. Its unique design and often limited availability solidify its place as a must-have fashion statement.
I’ve seen some of these dupes spilling into the market and they look equally as beautiful.
