Handbags, much like clothes, go in and out of trend in a matter of seasons. But some classic ones remain that gain the iconic status and owning one of them is the proof of ultimate good taste. SC lists down 10 such iconic bags that are not even remotely affected in their popularity by the ever-changing trends.
