Every woman has a bag she reaches for without thinking twice, but where did our obsession with the perfect purse actually come from? On this episode of Fits & Facts, Mo and Shay unpack the history, status, and psychology behind the bags we carry.
Mo covers the fits: the one bag every woman should own, whether she reaches for designer or vintage more, the bags that instantly signal status, and where we land in the micro bag versus oversized tote debate. Plus, function or flex, and the ultimate forever pick between a Birkin and a Chanel Flap.
Shay covers the facts: the origin of bags and purses and how they got their name, how designers actually name their bags, the real difference between a Birkin and a Kelly, the role Black designers have played in shaping the handbag industry, pioneering Black owned bag brands, and how the "it bag" era changed the way brands market to us. She also breaks down the resale and investment market for bags and which brands actually hold their value.
Watch and tell us in the comments: what's the one bag you'd never give up?
