So here, we round up 30 of the best designer handbags which are unlikely to date anytime soon, and will certainly never feel like a regretful purchase. For this, the best option is either to look to the classics – some of which may have had a modern makeover, but are still very much trend-free – or to snap up designs that have an endless elegance about them (think timeless colours, seasonless silhouettes and trusty fabrics).

With that being said, if you are thinking of splurging on a new designer bag, then it is definitely worth considering a style that will stand the test of time, rather than just a one-season wonder that will eventually end up gathering dust at the back of your wardrobe. It may even be an item that you pass down through the generations, or be something you eventually sell and may even make money on. Choose the right one, look after it correctly and it will be a wardrobe mainstay for the rest of your life. When it comes to wardrobe investments, there is nothing quite like a great designer handbag.
