NY Elizabeth Offers Hundreds of Luxury Handbags by Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, and More

Designed by Robert Dumas in the 1930s, the iconic Hermès Kelly bag uses a prominent trapezoid shape, triangular gussets, and a recognizably modern style. The now-iconic handbag has taken many forms in the decades since. Hermès has adapted the Kelly style to craft picnic baskets, document bags, and pochettes (mini handbags). A 2021 black lizard Hermès Kelly pochette leads the upcoming Handbags & Accessories sale, presented by NY Elizabeth. This pre-owned bag remains in excellent condition, according to the auction house. A total of 700 lots will be available in this mid-February sale. Other notable lots from Hermès include a Sellier Kelly handbag in bright teal and pink and several to-go Birkin bags. 

A selection of quilted lambskin Chanel flap bags also lead the listings. These classic bags were reimagined by Karl Lagerfeld in the 1980s. Each bag features a woven leather and metal chain, the Chanel gold clasp, and a double flap that conceals pockets. The Chanel bags are offered in varying sizes, from mini to jumbo. Collectors can also consider a Louis Vuitton X Fabrizio Plessi black leather tote. A noted Italian artist who has worked across installations and videos, Plessi is known for his collaborations with luxury brands and ongoing interest in water. Additional Louis Vuitton runway bags are also on offer. To view the complete catalog and browse other online auctions, visit Bidsquare.
