Kourtney Kardashian and Ashley Olsen are on the same page: this bag endures through every trend cycle.

      The more things change, the more they remain the same. While the fashion industry is often fiercely focused on innovation, it's only a matter of time before trends come back around. Currently, many individuals are dressing in strikingly similar styles to those of millennials from the early 2000s. Take, for example, Kourtney Kardashian Barker's latest outfit. In a photo captured by her daughter, Penelope, Kardashian Barker is seen with a Balenciaga Le City Bag ($2950). As many are aware, this bag was popularized by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen around 2004. With over twenty years between the images below, it demonstrates that this purse is more than just a trendy accessory—it's a genuine fashion icon that transcends every trend cycle. Additionally, did you spot another aspect of Kardashian Barker's attire that nods to Y2K fashion? Yes, it's the notorious layered tank top trend, which was quite significant for me back in high school.
