From 1980s On
LeSports Sac has been a preppy staple since the 1980s. These durable bags were the original microfiber, made of a light parachute material. Today, reinvented with a multitude of adorable patterns, including the LAMB line by celebrity Gwen Stefani, they are a favorite among the fashion-conscious and animal-rights conscious alike.
French Insider Fashion
Though a chic French woman's staple since 1948, the Longchamp craze hit worldwide in earnest in 2003. Known best for "les pliages," nylon bags that fold up into small, inobtrusive pacakages, Longchamps also features gorgeous and sturdy leather bags in elegant designs. Like its emblem, the jumping horse, these bags are sturdy, elegant, and great for travel.
Since 1853
Though today Vuitton is synonymous in many people's minds with 80s logomania, the house was one of the first worldwide to produce an initialed logo canvas, as can be seen by 19th century trunks that are virtually identical to the 21st century versions. A house of tradition, fashion, and elegance, Louis Vuitton continues to embody luxury.
