You’ve seen these classic bags: monogram tote, speedys, crossbodys, wocs (wallet on chain) all covered in lv print damier azur, ébène, monogram, but it hurts my heart when people say that these iconic bags have become basic. I think they’re referring more to the print than the actual shape of the bag. I don’t know about others but for me when I first started my collection I did a lot of research and I watched a lot of the YouTube reviews and videos. And all of these reviewer‘s said the same thing: start with iconic first. There are so many reasons why these styles and prints are dubbed iconic.
1. They have notable features that make them stand out from other bags. For example, did you know that the LV never full can hold up to about 200 pounds? Try doing that with a knock off I dare you. and the handles don’t dig into your arm compared to cheaper versions.
2. They will never go out of style. Classic bags such as anything with the Louis Vuitton canvas’ print Will always be in because of its roots-this has got to be one of the oldest and richest luxury brands in the world. Google the conglomerate LVMH; You’re welcome.
3. Resale value always increases so you always get your money back. So if you end up purchasing an iconic bag there is no reason that you would not be able to resell your bag a year or so down the road and get what you paid and a little extra due to price increases every year. You would never be able to do this with a knock off and there are so many credible companies out there that can authenticate this and no customer will just blindly pay you for a knock off bag without having authentication done first.
4. They literally go with any and every outfit. These bags are statement pieces. I mean of course you wouldn’t wear a speedy with a very formal outfit such as an evening dress but there are definitely styles within the fashion house that have canvas’ that are suitable for day and night such as the Felicia.
If you’re building your designer bag collection, I 100% suggest to start with the classics. I did research on this process before my first luxury purchase back in 2010 – damier azur speedy 35:
She’s still one of my favourite canvas’ and I have zero regrets choosing her as my first!
Check out my favourite youtubers and what they have to say about these bags:

I watch a lot of YouTubers but the ones mentioned are my influences.
So no I don’t agree with people who say that these bags are played out or basic- there’s nothing basic about these icons except that THEY ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF YOUR LUXURY COLLECTION! 😍
