It's a trend which has fuelled the incredible growth of the handbag industry in the past decade. By , one report showed that sales of bags were growing at twice the rate of clothes.
But with so many designer bags vying for our attention, what does it take to lift a handbag to authentic 'It' status? The most obvious attribute is a striking design. An It-Bag needs to be instantly recognisable - whether it's the distinctive quilting and gold chains of the Chanel 2. Another vital element for an It-Bag, of course, is glamour. Often this comes from the magical association between a brand and a celebrity - such as the famous Hermes Kelly bag.
First produced in , it was not until that the bag's reputation became positively stratospheric when the newlywed Princess Grace of Monaco was famously photographed for the cover of Time magazine trying to shield her pregnant belly with a classic Hermes bag.
The bag in question thereafter became known as the Kelly in her honour, and shot to global bestseller status, where it remains today. Fashion commentators at the time were quite clear about the association of bag and star: carrying a Kelly bag screamed class and old money, both then thought to be highly desirable.

While Kate Moss may always be able to get her hands on the latest luxury bag, for the woman in the street it's much more of a challenge, regardless of money.
Being unavailable is vital - with waiting lists for a high-status bag such as the Hermes Birkin stretching up to three years.
Women's natural competitiveness is, of course, cleverly managed by the top bag designers. In , Alexander McQueen stirred up customer demand to fever pitch when he announced the launch of his new bag, the Novak, named after Kim Novak, the legendary blonde actress who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Vertigo. In fact, as manufacturers have been quick to observe, ever-increasing price tags seem merely to add lustre to an It-Bag's allure, and even seasoned observers are sometimes astonished at our seemingly endless willingness to splash out on designer bags.
Stuart Vevers, arguably the most successful bag designer of the past decade who has created a number of It-Bags for Mulberry, Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy, remarked recently: "Every time I think there's a limit within accessories or handbags, we go through another one.
