The 90s and 2000s saw the birth of several iconic designer handbags, from renowned luxury houses like Gucci to Prada to even Louis Vuitton. Think the Gucci Jackie, Prada Nylon and Louis Vuitton Sac Plat; these bags have cemented their status symbol after being papped in the arms of celebrities and fashionistas alike.

Fast forward to the present, designers are bringing these coveted arm candies back to life with a modern twist on the original silhouettes.

Gucci Jackie 1961

Renamed to the Jackie after its vintage counterpart was photographed being toted by USA’s former first lady and style maven, Jackie Kennedy. Gucci’s current Creative Director, Alessandro Michele, then reimagined the iconic design to Jackie 1961 with more sleek variations, while keeping close to the original edgy silhouette. The revamped look features both the signature Gucci webbed logo and plain design--ranging from mini to medium.

Prada Nylon Re-edition 2000

Since the debut of the Prada Nylon Re-edition 2000, the bag has gained global recognition by the fashion industry and luxury community, having been snapped on many fashion influencers, including songstress/model Dua Lipa. Minimalistic yet practical, it is the perfect transitional day to night bag. We could just go on and on salivating over the dreamy color choices such as Astral blue, Cameo beige or Begonia pink. 

                                          

Louis Vuitton Petit Sac Plat

Think the vintage Sac Plat is too big for your everyday needs? Then consider the petit Sac Plat! This teeny reinterpretation of the original Sac Plat is causing a storm among LV fanatics because it’s so hard to get hold of. Measuring at only 14 inches in length, you’ll only be able to fit the essentials. But hey, we don’t mind downsizing if it’s this beauty we’re carrying. Be spoiled for choice as the Petit Sac Plat comes not only in monogram, but monogram vernis and epi leather too.
