Better late than never, right? We got wrapped up in National Handbag Day festivities that took up much of our attention for the past week, but that doesn’t mean we forgot about all the beautiful bags women carried while going to and from the shows at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2017. Au contraire!
Below, take a look at the best of the best bags, on the arms of some of the world’s biggest celebrities and most influential fashion industry luminaries. If this can’t get you through Thursday, we don’t know what could.
Alicia Vikander
Louis Vuitton Top Handle Bag
Michelle Williams
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag
Let’s get started with a double dose of Louis Vuitton.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
The former first lady of France carrying Chanel to the Chanel show is Peak Paris Fashion Week.
Cathrine Denueve
Louis Vuitton Twist Bag
$4,100 via Louis Vuitton
Actually maybe this is Peak Paris Fashion Week?
Diane Kruger
Miu Miu Madras Bag
Shop Miu Miu via Net-a-Porter
Pulling off a floral pantsuit takes some gravitas, but hey, it’s Diane Kruger.
Elena Perminova
Chloé Drew Bag
$2,850 via Nordstrom
Chloé has the whole “artfully oversized” thing down pat.
Frances Bean Cobain
Givenchy Horizon Bag
$23,000 via Barneys
High-end brands are so determined to find all the fashionable children of famous people that I’m surprised this is the first time we’ve seen Frances Bean at a fashion show. (She also attended Chanel, again with mom in tow.)
Jessica Alba
Valentino Rockstud Spike Bag
$2,195 via Neiman Marcus
Jessica Alba‘s daughters are in elementary school but it feels like it’ll be two years, max, before the eldest shows up next to a runway.
Karlie Kloss
Dior Diorama Bag
This logo flocking is Dior’s way of getting into the big velvet bag trend.
Kate Foley
Valentino My Rockstud Bag
$4,545 via MATCHESFASHION.COM
If you’re not familiar with Kate, you should be: she’s arguably the most powerful stylist in the world.
Lauren Santo Domingo
Louis Vuitton Top Handle Bag
The Moda Operandi founder usually manages to duck the paps, but they got her this time.
Lottie Moss
Dior Diorama Club Bag
Kate Moss’s daughter isn’t old enough to a Celebrity Adolescent yet, so brands have swarmed around her teen half-sister.
Marjorie Harvey
Chanel Camera Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
Going to Paris Fashion Week as Marjorie Harvey has to be ideal: she’s not there to work or on contract with a brand, she’s just there to enjoy the party and plan some purchases.
Marjorie Harvey
Dior Lady Dior Bag
Shop Lady Dior Bags via Vestiaire Collective
Can you imagine how much luggage she must bring with her?
Marjorie Harvey
Hermès Himalayan Birkin
And how much incredible stuff is in it?
Miranda Kerr
Louis Vuitton City Trunk Bag
These little trunk bags are so cute, but I’m not sure how well they’d work as actual bags to carry.
Miroslava Duma
Hermès Kelly Bag
Mira used to do the whole get-dressed-up-in-a-free-outfit thing for fashion week, but over the past couple seasons, she’s dialed things back to a mostly simple, ultra-luxe approach.
Miroslava Duma
Louis Vuitton City Cruiser Bag
Not that she’ll turn down a good bag, of course.
Olivia Palermo
Valentino Rolling Rockstud Lock Bag
$2,795 via Neiman Marcus
The Lock Bag is still my favorite of Valentino’s Rockstud classics by a mile.
Rihanna
Dior Mini Bag
Rihanna presented her own collection at PFW, but she also found the time to drop by Dior.
Taylor Tomasi Hill
JW Anderson Pierce Bag
$1,365 via Net-a-Porter
Taylor Tomasi Hill took a few seasons off from the fashion cycle to open a floral business, but she appears to be back.
