As the legendary Christian Dior once proclaimed, “You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion.” And the same can be said about black handbags.
Perhaps one of the most enduring staples within the world of fashion, the the classic black handbag is as versatile and iconic as the little black dress. And what better place to begin than with Hermès and Chanel? As the pinnacle of luxury handbags, these legendary brands have defined timelessness with their signature designs. While the Chanel Classic Flap, Hermès Birkin, and Kelly dominate, their collections offer so much more to explore – each piece an investment in style.

Hermès
At Hermès, black – known in the Maison as Noir – varies significantly depending on the type of leather. Each leather used by the Maison offers a distinct shade and texture of black – from the deep, rich tone of Swift leather to the glossy finish of exotic skins like alligator and crocodile. While the Birkin and Kelly are often seen as the ultimate icons, Hermès’ commitment to noir spans a wide range of designs and over 40 distinct leathers, each bringing a unique character to this timeless shade.

Chanel
When it comes to black luxury handbags, few are as iconic as the Chanel Classic Flap (or as it’s now known, the 11.12). This timeless design, whether crafted in caviar or lambskin leather and finished with gold or silver-tone hardware, has become an enduring icon. What began as Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel’s signature black fabric bag in 1955 – called the 2.55 – was transformed in 1983 by Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld reimagined the handbag with the now-famous interlocking CC clasp, solidifying its place as a coveted classic. To this day both designs remain hallmark Chanel offerings. Here’s our FASHIONPHILE picks.

Chanel’s commitment to the color black goes beyond this iconic bag. The French Maison has continually evolved its offerings, crafting modern classics like the Boy, Gabrielle, 19, and 22 bags. From minimalist micro bags to bold maxi styles, Chanel’s black handbags are as iconic as they are versatile. Whether you’re looking to own a piece of Chanel’s storied past or make a contemporary statement, FASHIONPHILE has the perfect black bag waiting for you.
