Another year has gone by and we’ve made it into 2022! Now with over 18 years in business, Couture has seen all kinds of items over the years, new and old.  In 2021, we were in awe by so many luxury designer pieces that entered through our doors and we wanted to share them with you. From Amber and Alina’s favorites to the most asked about bag of the year, we’re here to keep you updated in all the latest at Couture.Â

Amber & Alina’s Favorites
Our luxury experts, Amber and Alina see and sell luxury items all day every day. Sometimes it’s hard for them to choose their favorites, but we asked them anyway.Â
For 2021, Alina’s choice was the very trendy Bottega Veneta Chain Cassette bag. This pretty piece arrived in a gorgeous beige hue with gold-tone hardware. The large and puffy intrecciato woven design the brand is known for was paired perfectly with a Gucci jacket.Â
Amber went in a more subtle glam direction with the iridescent Chanel 19. Crafted in a white hue, when touched by light, the exterior of this bag shined from every angle. The new woven chain and leather CC closure was a popular design many looked for.

Most Expensive
2020’s most expensive bag was the Louis Vuitton Crocodile Capucines BB bag, but in 2021 an ever classic Hermes Birkin 30 arrived to take the coveted spot. In a vibrant orange that is the signature color of the brand handcrafted and hand-stitched to perfection, this bag is one of the hardest pieces to get in the industry at the moment due to limited availability. Hermes Birkin 30s retail can start at $12,400 and increase based on material or special requests.Â

Most UniqueÂ
Sometimes fashionistas look for something so out of this world and eye-catching, you can’t help but love it. According to our staff, one of the most unique bags to enter our store is a fur Fendi Baguette bag. A mix of satin and petals crafted from rabbit fur in various shades of purple and pink is definitely one to remember.
Editor’s Pick
This year we are featuring the Editor’s Pick! Born in the 90s and a lover of the retro style, Tiffany’s 2021 choice was a unique Yves Saint Laurent Graffiti Kate Bag. The black Grain de Poudre construction was gifted its far out finish with multicolor shapes printed throughout!

Most Asked About
Chanel never fails to be one of the most illustrious brands to ever exist even after over 112 years. The memorable CC and its popular flap bags remains a sought after brand for all fashionistas. In 2021, our staff noticed that the coveted flap bag was one of the most asked about items of the year. Not only is this bag stylish, but the Chanel Flap is also an investment piece that never loses its value.
