Only the Classics: These are the It Bags of Winter 2025

Here at Who What Wear UK, we know how important it is to think carefully and in a measured manner about your next designer handbag purchase. After all, it’s an investment piece and something you will likely tote around daily, hopefully for many years to come. With a higher price tag compared to most items in a wardrobe, a luxury handbag carries higher expectations and requirements, and we think it should also have a timeless quality.

When looking at which handbags are putting in serious work, I find myself looking at the It girls of today. Style setters such as Alexa Chung, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sienna Miller, along with internet phenoms Elsa Hosk, Neelam Gill and Annabel Rosendahl, know the power of a great handbag, and are repeatedly spotted carrying the same ones.
