Celebrities everywhere seem to be reaching for deep-cut designer pieces lately. Rihanna and Tyla both revisited Louis Vuitton’s 2000s collaboration with Takashi Murakami, while Bella Hadid was photographed carrying a Balenciaga City bag and Pink Pantheress carried a Fendi Spy package.

Every now and then I go look at Alexa Chung’s old street photos because they’re so awesome, and one bag she always carries is the Mulberry Bayswater bag. I’m hoping for a 2026 resurgence—but not before I buy one on eBay! —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate, .
I have been really into the Marc Jacobs Blake bag again, first introduced back in the early aughts. These two large pockets are very practical and I love their bright, upbeat colors. (Especially the light blue one.) Fun fact: This is also the bag Andi gave to her friend The queen wears pradato which she replies, “This is sold out everywhere—gimme, gimme!” sentiment. —Christian Allaire, senior fashion and style writer, Fashion.
This may be boring, but I’m a big fan of a practical tote, which is why I’m ready for Hermès to bring back their Fourre-Tout canvas carry-alls. In recent years, I’ve noticed that almost every cool vintage store in New York stocks them, and I see a lot of twenty-somethings on the subway using them as their everyday work bags. I’d love to see the style return in new, playful colorways (and hopefully at a similarly accessible price point!). —Mai Morsch, fashion editor, Fashion.
Michael Rider bought back the Phantom Bag in 2025, and in 2026, I want more from the Celine archives! My biggest regret was not buying this bag, and I’d love to see them re-release it with more fun, interesting colors! I’m also looking for a new work bag to fit my laptop, so if they can make this happen soon, my handbag collection will be very grateful! —Libby Page, executive commerce director,

This is one for the scholars! I’ve been bidding on Paloma Picasso’s Italian-made ’80s and ’90s Book bags (and for evening, the Baby Book). Each is shaped like a hardback with a raised spine and detachable strap in lots of glamorous material and hardware combos. You may know her as the daughter of Picasso, accessories designer for YSL (and Anthony Vaccarello’s recent Saint Laurent muse), Tiffany & Co. Jeweler, perfumer, actress, original it-girl? She mentions in an archival Style.com interview that “before I started designing a lot I was actually designing my own self.” An artist after my own heart! —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large, Fashion.
Fashion office. With all the iconic 2010s bags making a comeback, I’m hoping the PS1 gets its moment again too. —Taylor Lashley, social media manager, Fashion.
thing– A LOT – So my first instinct would be a Fendi Spy Bag (my mom had one and I’m obsessed with secret compartments!), or the OG Kate Spade Sam. Two bags that shaped my childhood and interest in fashion. But then the sparkle, allure, and kitsch of Judith Leiber’s tiny bags are also irresistible. Designed before iPhones, these Swarovski-covered purses came in themes and shapes that delight the imagination: A shaken-not-stirred martini! Asparagust wrapped up with a bow! Cats of every shape, size, and shade! (Never forget the cupcake bag that was a major player in Carrie’s wedding day to Mr. Big dissolving in the sex and city Fashion.
I love a precious evening bag, even if it can fit next to nothing in it. There are two pieces from The Row that I’d love to see return: the Ascot, an origami-like wallet with knotted handles, and a petite fringed clutch in the most delicious jewel-toned velvet (the ones with embroidered pouches are even rarer). The tassels will need a comb, perhaps they can include one inside? —Talia Abbas, commerce director, .
