To All the Bags I’ve Loved Before

February 11, 2025

Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love—whether it’s romance, friendship, or a deep appreciation for a beautifully crafted handbag. We asked the ladies at Entrupy which bags truly represent them and what they think is the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift. Their picks range from vintage treasures to modern icons, proving that when it comes to love, a handbag might just be the most reliable partner.

Alli, Luxury Authentication Operations Manager

Vintage Moschino Heart Bag (1990s)

A heart-shaped bag? Groundbreaking—but also totally essential. Popularized by Fran Drescher in The Nanny (Season 3, Episode 13, An Offer She Can’t Refuse), this Moschino classic is kitschy, bold, and unapologetically fun. Designed by Franco Moschino and recently revived by Adrian Appiolaza for Fall 2024, the vintage version is the OG. It’s roomy, playful, and the perfect pop of color for any outfit.

Aila, APAC Regional Sales Manager

Hermès Constance Bag

If love is meant to last forever, the Hermès Constance is the bag. Elegant, practical, and timeless, it was named after the designer’s daughter. A good bag is like family, after all. Aila loves its versatility, craftsmanship, and investment-worthy status.

Torie, Luxury Knowledge Manager

Bottega Veneta Double Knot Bag in Red

Some bags wear their hearts on their sleeves—this one does it with knots. “This bag would be my perfect Valentine’s Day gift because it represents everything I value: simplicity, quality, and a touch of uniqueness. For me, it’s the kind of luxury that whispers elegance, making it a perfect subtle tribute to love,” says Torie.

The deep red leather is festive but never flashy, and the two sculptural knots? A quiet nod to you and that special someone. Even the shape has a hint of a heart, making it the perfect love letter to luxury.

Amanda, Account Executive

YSL Heart Bag

Nothing haunts us like the bag that got away. Amanda nearly scored this beauty during Barneys’ closing sale in 2020—only to have her order canceled (tragedy!). Whether in sleek monochrome or passionate red, the YSL Heart Bag is a stunner that makes up for any lost loves (or lost shopping carts).

Heather, Senior Manager, Revenue Ops

Gucci GG Blooms

Florals are always a good idea. The Gucci GG Blooms collection 2017 by Allessandro Michele is a romantic masterpiece, featuring delicate cherry blossom prints that make every outfit feel a little more poetic. Heather’s pick is a floral fantasy that never wilts.

Laveena, Marketing Analyst

Gucci GG Marmont Mini in Baby Pink

Laveena swears by this bag for its versatility—it can be worn as a top handle or a crossbody, making it perfect for multiple Valentine’s Day looks. Plus, the tiny heart detail on the back? A subtle but sweet nod to love itself.

Julia, Account Executive

Loewe Small Puzzle Bag

Love can be complicated, but a good bag should be effortless. Enter the Loewe Puzzle Bag—structured yet soft, artistic yet practical. Its geometric design and luxurious leather make it a modern classic that’s easy to love.

Devin, Account Executive

Dior Hardcore Saddle Bag & Louis Vuitton Monogram Cerises Pochette

For those who prefer love with a little edge, Devin’s go-to is the Dior Hardcore Saddle Bag—retro, classy, and undeniably bold. And when it comes to the perfect Valentine’s gift? The Louis Vuitton Monogram Cerises Pochette wins for its playful yet timeless appeal. A little sweet, a little sassy— a recipe for the best love stories.

Natasha, Senior Business Development

Bottega Veneta Jodie

A twist on the classic mini top handle, the Jodie’s knotted design adds both style and sentimentality. It’s textured, elegant, and perfect for those who love craftsmanship with a bit of artistic flair.

Jiwen, Business Development

Louis Vuitton Bella in Pink

Some love stories are sweet and simple—just like the LV Bella in Pink. Feminine yet chic, it’s the ultimate everyday bag for date nights, brunches, and all the moments in between.
