When the weather starts to warm up, the minis start to come out in force. This is my third year writing for PurseBlog, and I’m still stumped as to why this is the pattern. Do we really carry that much less stuff in the spring? We can finally toss out that one giant bottle of winter moisturizer, so we decide to downsize to a mini until August? It’s a puzzle. In other news, select stars will not stop carrying Chanel, and they refuse to apologize.
Bella Thorne
Chanel Quilted Tote
Disney poppet Bella Thorne was spotted with a nice Chanel tote at JFK on her way to make an appearance on The View. Fun fact: Bella Thorne is still just 17.
Khloé Kardashian
Givenchy Small Antigona Bag
$2,095 via MyTheresa
It’s spring, and celebs’ bags are shrinking once again, for reasons I don’t completely understand. Here’s Khloé Karhdashian, leaving the gym and heading to a hair salon with her small blue version of the Givenchy Antigona.
Kourtney Kardasahin
Balenciaga Mini City Bag
$1,395 via MyTheresa
And here’s her sister Kourtney, carrying a Balenciaga mini as she escorts her two eldest children, Mason and Penelope, to ballet class in Woodland Hills. She’s also carrying a backpack of some sort, because a mini is not the most functional choice for a mom of three.
Lily Allen
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
UK pop star/Karl Lagerfeld’s platonic girlfriend Lily Allen was spotted doing a little shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills with a brilliant blue Chanel Flap.
Maisie Williams
Kate Spade New York Spring Forward Wicker Frog Purse
$398 via ShopBop
Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams is also 17, just like Bella Thorne, but I feel like she’s having a lot more fun with it. Here she is, heading into an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in a head-to-toe Kate Spade outfit, complete with an amazing, figural wicker frog bag.
Nastia Liukin
Chanel Boy Wallet on a Chain Bag
Nastia is a retired Russian-American gymnast with a few Olympic gold medals and World Championships to her name, and as you’ve probably already guessed, she’s competing on this season of Dancing with the Stars. Here she is on her way into The View studios, flashing her Chanel Boy Wallet.
Taraji P. Henson
Chanel Canvas Logo Tote
Cookie is on our radar with her fabulous Chanel bags almost every week now. Here she is at LAX with an oversized canvas Chanel tote that’s ideal for air travel.
Zendaya Coleman
Elizabeth and James Cynnie Sling Bag
$545 via Saks
Actress/singer/dancer Zendaya Coleman recently made an appearance at a DWTS after party in LA with a grey, tassled Elizabeth & James bag. (She is NOT a contestant.)
