What a year 2019 was. As we reflect on the year in fashion, we can’t help but think about the decade coming to a close, and how certain trends have come and gone in the past 10 years, but other things have stayed constant: our collective love of Birkins and Kellys, for instance, and our ongoing obsession with Chanel Classic Flaps.
While we’ll always comment on trends, we have a feeling we’ll still be writing about the staples of the handbag world for the decade to come. Our “top” articles of 2019 reflect the state of this “world”—you’ll see topics that are recognizable and relevant, and yet are also perfectly representative of this past year.
Here are the 8 PurseBop articles that garnered the most love and attention from our dear readers this year. Rediscover the handbag joys of 2019 below!
