Iconic Handbag Illustrations

Farfetch Showcases Minimalist Sketches of Designer Bags

Farfetch is an online marketplace that recently put together these iconic handbag illustrations. Each one is done in a minimalist manner, resulting in designs that really bring out the bare essentials of each piece.

The illustrations represent four classic bag styles that have now become wardrobe staples for fashionistas all around the world.

To give readers some background on each bag, here are a few details: The Hermes Birkin Bag was designed by Dumas in 1984 after an encounter with French actress Jane Birkin. The Fendi Baguette gained notoriety when it was featured on Sex and the City, and Coco Chanel invented her iconic style when she was tired of carrying her handbag in her arms.

These illustrations offer a simplified taste of the basics of each bag.
