While some fashion trends are over almost as quickly as they rose to popularity, others are more than able to stand the test of time. Celebrities like K-drama queen Jun Ji-hyun and Japanese model Kōki are fans of Alexander McQueen’s modern interpretations of the curved bag, which is reminiscent of styles from the 2000s.

Here are five handbags that remind us why the silhouette is a tried-and-true classic.

Celine

Vibrant greens were trending throughout spring and summer, so why not a more muted shade for autumn? This jade Ava bag is made with smooth calfskin, with a suede calfskin lining, HK$13,000 (US$1,670)

Alexander McQueen

Inspired by a horse’s harness, the Curve bag is distinguished by the criss-cross pattern on the front. Made in 100 per cent calf leather and finished in a luxurious shade of oxblood, it makes a stunning autumnal accessory, HK$11,900
