Every December, we round up our most-read posts of the year. Tracking what resonates most with you isn’t just interesting—it helps guide what we create next. Simply put, we want to know what you want more of.
Year-end is also the perfect time to reflect on the biggest handbag moments and the brands that truly captured your attention. And if there was one topic that dominated conversations this year, it was the seemingly endless changes happening at Hermès. From price increases to tariffs, we definitely weren’t the only ones talking about it.
Best Brands of 2025
Despite rising prices across the board, one thing stayed consistent: your love for the handbag holy trinity—Hermès, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton. These powerhouses continue to top the charts year after year. That said, 2025 also made room for a current powerhouse in contemporary brands.
Yes, we’re talking about Coach—and we were thrilled to see it. While this post doesn’t technically qualify for this list since it was published in 2024, the spring release of the Coach Kisslock bags took the handbag world by storm, catapulting our runway coverage into the top 15 most-read posts this year.

These end of year lists are so illuminating! It seems commenters are always complaining that PB focuses too much on Hermes/Chanel/LV and they want to see more coverage of lesser-known brands. But I’ve been a reader for 15+ years and every single year, content about these three brands top the most popular lists. PF pages for these brands are far and away the most active too.
