Vintage 2000s It Bags Spark Global Fashion Resurgence

In 2025, there is a notable resurgence of vintage and Y2K-era handbags, with iconic styles like the Balenciaga City bag and Chloé Paddington making a strong comeback, embraced by celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike. This trend reflects a broader fascination with early 2000s fashion, as evidenced by the popularity of original 'It Bags' and the reissuance of archive pieces by luxury brands such as Celine and Mulberry. Alongside vintage revivals, there is also a growing appeal for understated, plain leather bags exemplified by Hailey Bieber and her contemporaries, highlighting a shift toward timeless, versatile styles influenced by quiet luxury. Meanwhile, Dooney & Bourke's recent release of the Florentine Teagan 30 shoulder bag taps into the slouchy shoulder bag revival, combining Italian leather craftsmanship with accessible pricing and retro-inspired designs. Additionally, the viral popularity of Trader Joe’s mini tote bags in seasonal Halloween colors underscores the cultural impact of distinctive, collectible bags beyond the luxury market. Together, these developments illustrate a diverse handbag landscape balancing nostalgic revival, minimalist elegance, and playful novelty.
