Handbags are the new shoes, the must-have "it" accessory that has made all the fashionistas clamor for the latest releases from famous designers in fashion stores online. It's also a market that is more similar with the male-dominated world of classic cars than you would think.A few of you may have missed all the hoopla a couple of months ago when Sainsbury's sold 20,000 "I'm not a plastic bag" Anya Hindmarch totes for £5 each. Within hours, those same unbleached cotton bags were selling for in excess of £150 on eBay. "Every girl has a handbag," says Christie's specialist Monica Turcich, "and every girl wants one. Women now want the 'it' bag and the one nobody else is carrying. They've always been popular and they are the section of our 20th-century fashion sales for which we get the most phone calls, but now they are doing particularly well because everyone wants handbags, whereas 10 years ago there weren't the 'it' bags like we have today, simply the classics."Like cars, most of the more recent designer handbags, which are sold through dealers, auction houses, and fashion stores online, make significantly less than their original retail price, losing value the moment the initial purchase has taken place. That is good news for both collectors, investors and handbag enthusiasts, but there are some exceptions to the rule.Last March, Christie's sold a red Hermes crocodile skin Kelly bag for £10,800. This was only purchased in 1994 and was originally a custom made product. The Kelly bag is the "holy grail" in the classic handbag world, according to Turcich. "Chloe and other more contemporary bags are more driven by what's popular now, but for Hermes and Chanel's quilted bag, these are classics which never go out of style and are always useable." Kelly bags can be purchased for £600 and can often be sold for £1,000-£2,000, which isn't bad for a bag which might have been bought back in the 1960s.There's no doubt that most handbags are being purchased for its utility. It's not an investment market in the same manner as many other collectables, but again there are parallels to the car market. Through purchasing a classic bag even in fashion stores online and having it well taken care of, you are unlikely to lose money, but rather see a steady gain with the added return of the enjoyment of using it.Hindmarch's "I'm not a plastic bag" bags are not likely to make it to "classic" status. They are, after all, mass-produced cotton totes, but its possible for other handbags from its range to do so. So far, Christie's hasn't sold any Hindmarch bags, but Turcich says she wouldn't be surprised if they start turning up at auctions soon, and she wouldn't turn them away. "Kylie Minogue was pictured carrying a Chloe bracelet bag around a few years ago which sparked a fashion trend, and now we are selling the same thing at auction."There is an immaculate piece in the next auction, which is estimated at £800 to £1,000, along with another Chloe handbag of the same lot. "I think Chloe has started the 'it' bag scene," adds Turcich, "I don't know how long it will take for them to become classics of their own, but I'm sure these will hold their value in five or 10 years' time. People just don't seem to have paid attention to the fact that handbags have become the new shoes in the last few years. There is now an appreciation of the design that goes into them. There are shoe designers that are artists and so too with handbags."Fashion is not always about big names. Just a few weeks ago, Kylie Minogue was at the shop of Tony Durante, a handbag dealer at Alfie's in London, and purchased a white raffia bag with a horse's head on the front for around £200. Brightly colored raffia bags are the in thing at the moment because it's summer. Durante says Kylie loved this particular bag because it was a bit extraordinary. Buying it from a vintage fashion dealer makes it unlikely for her to bump into another celebrity carrying one. Durante says that his customers are looking for this "bizarre" factor.
