Morphology
it + bag
The noun 'bag' is fully transparent (a portable container), but the element 'it' here is a specialized use meaning 'trendy/ fashionable' rather than the basic pronoun sense; that pragmatic label is not predictable from knowing the words alone. Because part of the meaning (that the bag is iconic/ fashionable) depends on a language-specific pragmatic use of 'it', a B1 learner who only knows the constituent words would likely need exposure to infer the full sense.
Etymology
The noun it bag comes from it used to say something is very fashionable and bag meaning handbag. Fashion magazines began calling a single designer handbag the it bag when everyone wanted it, so the phrase now means 'a must-have handbag'.
