It's no exaggeration to say that deconstructed handbags have been reshaping the IT-bag market over the past year, a move that's one of the latest signs of the growing demand for versatility and cachet.&nbsp;

The concept of designer handbags has existed as one of the most visible status symbols for decades. The iconic Herm&egrave;s Birkin dates back to the 1980s, the CHANEL 2.55 in 1955 and the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/history-gucci-jackie-1961-bag-fashion-archival-kennedy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci Jackie</a> in 1961... Even after a long time, these classics are still difficult to own. However, in recent times, wealthy people no longer promote the idea that shopping for iconic bags is a form of investment. Chances are, <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">even the fashion elite are starting to get tired of such an expensive, tiring and wasteful cycle. Refined, comfortable pieces crafted with exceptional quality will always be important to luxury customers.
Therefore, we reluctantly have to witness the era of exquisite leather handbags that only those in the know will pay attention to. "Logo-free" used to be a kind of title when the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/quiet-luxury-brands-worth-noticing-this-season" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quiet luxury</a> lifestyle was promoted and "pulled" out of silent luxury. Then the second half of the year seemed like all views were becoming more realistic. That whether it has a logo or no logo, the bag when I choose to go out must make the world stand out without ruining the spirit of the outfit that day.
Therefore, many newly launched umbrella bags have become more coveted than ever, and easily become the hallmark of the brand name. Bags feel like a life, have their own story, and create a well-deserved buzz among users. And anyone can see how deconstructed soft wrinkled leather bags are making their mark this past year. After all, you can look for the trendiest handbags all you want, but there are plenty of timeless designs, whether new or improved, that come with all the new twists.&nbsp;

Loewe Squeeze bag

Throughout Fashion Week, many show attendees carried <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/loewe-s-spring-summer-24-a-masterclass-in-minimalism-and-boldness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Loewe</a>'s Squeeze bag - the Spanish brand's next successful product after the stylish Puzzle bag. Introduced in the Autumn/Winter 2023 collection, the boho bag is made of soft nappa lambskin and features a ruched top, complete with a gold chain shoulder strap. The product comes in small and medium sizes, black, brown, green and burgundy.
Why is this bag suitable at the present time? Because shoppers are craving minimalism that comes with a small accent to add to the overall fun. Similar to the loose, comfortable tailoring that is trending on the runway, the Squeeze bag brings a sense of convenience and luxury, without being too serious or structured. Plus, it goes with almost any outfit and can be easily worn at any time. Therefore, this bag is so sought after that it is often out of stock.

Bottega Veneta Sardine bag

Starting with the fashion house's signature intrecciato weaving style , then developing many versions with different materials, but the common point is the bag design that Matthieu Blazy created for his debut at <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/bottega-veneta-quality-and-craft-for-spring-summer-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bottega Veneta</a> 2022. From the petite handheld size to the giant tote, a supple bag named after its metal fish-shaped handle. The languid shape seems like laziness is present somewhere, but one cannot deny the feeling of satisfaction when holding the handle that fits flawlessly in the palm of the hand. In 2023, this bag was introduced again in more colour versions and caught the "eyes" of many famous stars.

Louis Vuitton GO-14 bag

This is a masterpiece that encompasses every definition of "satisfaction". Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re offers a colourful new interpretation of the GO&ndash;14 with visible features: crafted from lambskin, with a soft quilted malletage pattern, celebrating the soft feel and bold curves seals can be found inside original <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/louis-vuitton-handbags-lv-remix-collection-denim-monogram-y2k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louis Vuitton</a> trunks. GO-14 handbag with pastel tones and smoke effect is inspired by the interior of the Borromeo palace located on the Italian island of Isola Bella. More than a design, GO&ndash;14 is also a beautiful retrospective of the fashion era that marked Nicolas Ghesqui&egrave;re at Louis Vuitton.
GO-14 suggests endless outfit possibilities. Intricate detailing with no element without a story behind it, but one doesn't need to "unlock" all of its codes to know that this bag has much more to offer. Just know that the LV logo lock structure rotates to open, the necessary sophistication we look for in a luxury product.

Ferragamo Wanda East-West top handle bag

A cherry red <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/ferragamo-spring-summer-24-the-mixing-of-italian-and-caribbean-roots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ferragamo</a> baguette bag with contrasting silver hardware made for a powerful moment this year. The Wanda bag was first created in 1988 as an homage to legendary designer Wanda Ferragamo. And when the moment when the red tornado swept through the world fashion industry, it was not unexpected that this classic bag returned and was more powerful than ever with completely new colour combinations at the hands of the Creative Director, Maximilian Davis. Each bag has a crossbody strap, but you and I both know that the most beautiful moment of this bag is when holding it at the top handle. Ferragamo's signature Gancini keychain shape remains unchanged. Overall, this is the perfect practical design if you're looking for a little breakthrough in your outfit without losing the classic Ferragamo girl charm.

Gucci remains true to its heritage, with the popularity of Tom Ford-era Gucci in recent years, it's understandable that this clutch is making a comeback. The revival 20 years later of the Gucci Horsebit clutch, from Autumn 2003 and Spring 2004, has brought this classic bag back to its rightful status. Featuring the Italian fashion house's signature &ldquo;Horsebit&rdquo; bridle buckle, the bag is revived with a variety of colour and print updates, including the classic monogram design and Gucci's iconic stripes.
What's special is that when the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/unveiling-the-legacy-exploring-the-history-of-the-gucci-horsebit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci Horsebit</a> clutch was re-released, demand on the vintage market skyrocketed - which means it's time to invest in an original Tom Ford-era bag. Along with bringing the handbag back into the spotlight, Gucci's Autumn/Winter 2023 show also offered a variety of ways to style the bag, bringing change, allowing today's women to re-interpret it and style it in a more modern way.
