Why do ICONIC Luxury Bags BECOME ICONIC?!

[@ubiquitousflow]

As someone who did a deep dive before buying her own Lady Dior, I've never seen anyone give such an in-depth back story for it❤ I genuinely appreciate how seriously you take your job💛

[@AdamRidgway1]

This is cool. I didn't know about Audrey and the speedy.

[@emilylucitt]

As an anthropologist, I think you’re right on the money! We humans are motivated by stories, and owning such a bag allows us to become part of a larger story that includes these iconic women (whether consciously or not). To add on, I think that once Coco Chanel herself became an icon, the lore of her carrying love letters in the pocket of her 2.55 became the story that still adds to the allure of the Classic Flap and Reissue today.

[@MonsonSchwarze]

I use my *preluxs* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.

[@VerdieCunha]

Thank you so much*preluxs* or taking us shopping…my wish list just got longer.

[@SeekfordFukumoto]

When people are saying *esluxy* is a better option,I very much agree!

[@JulieWever]

I agree with your choice! I really love the *gtdupe* bag! You should do a video on the best bags for summer. I’m currently looking for a summer bag in white or neutral colors and don’t know what to buy.

[@FelimonGenini]

Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the LYXBAGS bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.

[@bridgetdickert5040]

You’re right, of course, the iconic bags are cemented as iconic because the wearer is/was an iconic woman. I’m not sure we will have that person anymore. There are tons of very popular celebrities, but are there any icons? I think the pool is sort of diluted by celebrity over saturation, social media, etc. It will be fun to watch and see if anything emerges and holds its status over the decades. There is this young British woman, now living in NYC, stylish, funny and charming who certainly seems on the cusp… ❤

My first knowledge of Fendi was in the late 80’s when LL “Around the way girl” wanted a girl with bamboo earrings, at least two pairs, a Fendi bag and a bad attitude. Girl!!!! I bought my first Fendi for something like $150 which was expensive back then. I’ve been a Fendi Ho ever since 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm a y2k girlie so in my mind "iconic celebrity bags" are Paris Hilton and the Dior Saddle, the Olsen twins and Balenciaga Motorcycle/Givenchy Nightingale... probably inaccurate but that's what pops into my head

[@CassieThorpe]

Those were the days 🤩

[@karlaschmid8757]

Leave it to Cassie to parse the distinction between classic and iconic in her video, love and appreciate her.

[@AkireGirard]

His LYXBAG tote is beautifully colored, very sturdy and the perfect size. Not too small, not too big. I look forward to joining my rotation.

[@hhueter]

I think the fact that it by the fact that the women wore the bag all the time indicates that they actually loved the bag and it was not something they were paid to use so we believe it to be more genuine. A lot of the original icons seem to be fans of the bag/brand prior to association and bought it on their own. With today's celebrity marketing, i don't see it being replicated. Closest would probably be Mary Kate and her City bag.

[@Skyebright1]

Agree celebrities wear lots of different bags these days than just one bag

[@nomanejane5766]

It could also mean that we weren't into such hyper consumer culture, not to mention celebrities get more PR now adays, so they have a lot of choices

[@sharonleung819]

Totally agree - luxury fashion is becoming more and more like fast fashion in the sense that there's constantly so much new stuff coming out that not many people (let alone celebrities/iconic women) would need or want to keep carrying the same bag. Social media also plays a big part - let's face it, we as the audience always want to see the latest items rather than the same thing over and over again. Hence, celebrities and influencers would often feature new releases/trend pieces as opposed to a potentially "classic" or "iconic" item.

[@maisy4675]

Cassie’s bag reports is what I wait for! Love hearing the research. Elite content ❤❤

[@CassieThorpe]

Omg thank you 😭🥹💖

[@lesliecraven3087]

Sure fall / winter release release who cares. But associating five bags with five iconic women really matters to me

[@lesliecraven3087]

Best Cassie video must watch

[@maggyxchuu]

Such a well thought out video as always Cassie! Learned so many new things. You’re so right about how before all these rigid social media contracts celebrities back then wore the same bag all the time - over and over, but now there are celebrities that are specific bag ambassadors (ie zendaya and capucines). which makes you question if they truly use the bag or it’s just for the moment. So you don’t have the person tied to the bag Bc it’s constantly changing.

[@ThorneDimanche]

The variety of textures in the *preluxs* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone

[@evelyn_rampola]

You’re making a lot of sense, the constant use of the same bag by the old icons communicated that the bag is reliable and something to have. This was a great analysis.

[@jaks_bag_attack]

I really love the gucci Jackie bag! I honestly love all these iconic bags! 😍

[@CassieThorpe]

😍😍

[@lanabanana4752]

Thank you for another amazing video, I think the difference is the connection with the women and those bags were authentic. They weren’t paid to carry them.

[@baatile]

The Gucci Diana is another classic, and seeing how similar the design is to the Lady Dior, it makes sense that Princess Diana loved both.

[@VerdieCunha]

At*preluxs* it's not just a bag; it's an art piece. Each design is crafted with unique inspiration and craftsmanship. The exquisite production process reveals not just a bag, but a fashionable feast for the senses.

[@Demi1369]

I was thinking of Balenciaga a moment before you mentioned it. I think another key thing is that women of the past who made these bags iconic were also HIGHLY classy women, who also dressed in a very classy way. Today we are hard pressed to find someone with that same aesthetic. Something about the eras and dressing of the past is timeless and classic, which matches the vibe of the bag. Exactly why these ladies probably fell in love with these bags to begin with, and of course their practicality. Just my opinion though.

[@LulaWestLuxe]

Good morning, Cassie! Can't wait to watch! 💕💕

[@katevitacuracaberte6147]

The history of each bag such as chanel classic flap, speedy, and Kelly is what draw me into loving and watching theses bags. So to me they will always stand the test of time, even if they’re style has been overdone.

[@SebasthiamCarcovich]

I love HIDUPZ butterfly bag that says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday

[@SanjicaBudisin]

Such a great collection of vintage/pre owned bags! A vintage *gtdupe* is definitely also on my list

[@ritaroad]

I read that Audrey Hepburn asked Louis Vuitton to make a smaller Keepall for her to use along with a purse when she traveled. They created the Speedy 30. If you look at the photograph it does not look like a 25.

[@JovitoNeagu]

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the LYXBAG leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

The LV Speedy 25 is a classic that should always be a staple in someone's collection.

[@odezamae]

I love this and i like when i see bags really getting used. Nowadays we have too many in our collection that we only use a couple of them once.

[@kathleenharris8824]

Yes, it makes complete sense. Today there are way too many influences. Those iconic women of the past wore the same bag over and over again. There are a few fashion influencers who wear certain bags repeatedly citing the cost per wear. Even then, they have rotations of various luxury bags.

I always wondered how bags become the "it" bag to carry around or purchase. Thank you for your analysis ,very facinating!

[@StellyWhite]

Love how you broke this down! I do think that because of endorsements, campaigns, etc that it will be very hard to find a person with that ONE bag that they always carry. Social media also has this weird stigma about outfit repeating (which I think is going away). I was having a discussion with my husband how some walk-in closets can be deemed as "too small" for some people when just a few years ago, we had to buy armoires for our clothes. Our wardrobes has exploded in size so therefore, we no longer just have those one or two things that we cherish as we now have 20 of the same things (I'm generalizing here). Good topic!

Enjoyed this video!! It’s a very interesting topic and I agree with you on so many levels. But are you sure Jackie Kennedy is wearing a Gucci „Jackie“ in all of these pictures? At least two of them are showing a Hermès Twin bag (canvas/leather version) I assume. But never the less, loving this video!!

[@lalc2883]

Great video! I think in order to have an iconic bag, there's also a need to let time do the work. Brands are forcing things today. Even an iconic bag can have it down moments. When we think about the Lady Dior. Designed under Gianfranco Ferre, had a little success in the late 90's but was replaced by the saddle in the 00's to comeback in full force in the late 00's. Dior always kept the production even when it wasn't trendy. One thing that makes it difficult to have an iconic bag today is the fact that celebrities don't dress themselves. They all have stylists. So, whatever they wear might not be representative of their aesthetic. All the women you mentioned except maybe Carrie Bradshaw (for obvious reasons), wore their own clothes, dressed for themselves and the bags became iconic because they just happened to be there when the paparazzi chased them.

[@brookeb8054]

Lady Di loved her Gucci bamboo handle bag as well.

[@meganbetts9624]

Absolutely spot on! We’re so diluted by too many bag releases, influencers & reality stars. Nothing currently stands out as a classic “it” bag. I own a Lady Dior, Chanel Diana, Gucci Diana, Gucci Jackie & a Birkin. Also an LV Alma (the only bag Coco Chanel carried that wasn’t her own label). Love my classics!!!! Interesting to note that there isn’t a “Megan” (Markle) bag… she doesn’t have the same mojo.

[@mizmelbourne]

Megan has carried a range of very nice bags which match her outfits. I haven’t seen much personality or repetition in her bags. I feel all her outfits are selected by her stylist and are quite safe (they sometimes carry political messages too, eg she recently wore a bucket bag by Cesta Collective that’s “handcrafted by female artisans in Rwanda”)

[@Skyebright1]

There isn’t a Catherine bag either

[@chiaracastrogiovanni]

Absolutely loved this kind of video. I totally agree with you that nowadays there's an amount of new bags and in general new products that it's difficult for one of them to become so classic and iconic as it happened in the past. But it is also great to see how many variations of a single bag can be created, like "imagination never ends", so of course there are positives and negatives aspects. Btw thanks for sharing you thoughts:)

Great video, darling. I don't think we will ever see another classic bag again. One, that in 20, 30, 40 yrs time, will still be popular and loved. Luxury brands have so many collections per year now, I believe it will be impossible. Plus, I don't feel we have any celebrities who are truly iconic in this day and age.
