The most obvious attribute is a striking design. An It-Bag needs to be instantly recognisable - whether it's the distinctive quilting and gold chains of the Chanel 2.55 bag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the unmistakable underarm Fendi Baguette or the Chloe Paddington bag with its oversized padlock.
Another vital element for an It-Bag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is glamour. Often this comes from the magical association between a brand and a celebrity - such as the famous Hermes Kelly bag.

But with so many designer bags vying for our attention,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], what does it take to lift a handbag to authentic 'It' status?
