The Garbo Satchel put Be & D on the fashionable map back in 2005. As if looking into the crystal fashion ball, the designers couldn't have found a better time to bring the iconic shape back and offer up the Garbo style in new silhouettes like this studded shoulder bag seen on Katy Perry along with Taylor Momsen.

THE DECADE: SEVENTIES HUSSLE
The 70s was all about free love, maxi dress, oversized sunglasses and lots of suede and fringe. Bags were casual and cool dominated in dirty browns and oranges similar to vintage luggage and shades names after liquor like merlot, cognac and bourbon. Promoting peace and love, Mylie Cyrus looks like an modern version of an extra from Boogie Nights as she struts around LA in a belted flower dress and The SAK Silverlake Convertible Satchel.
