Doing these celeb round-ups has really given me a more comprehensive idea of what celebs are carrying on any given week. (Amanda has always been the one tasked with wading through piles of celeb photos to make these selections, bless her.) It means I see almost 20 different bag selections every week instead of just five, which leads me to observations, like the fact that brands like Proenza Schouler and Chloé are more popular right now than you might suspect. While neither brand can lay claim to a current It Bag, they do have a devoted fan base of celebs that carry them on the regular, including a few that might surprise you.
Hilary Duff
Proenza Schouler Patchwork Bucket Bag
Shop Proenza Schouler via Neiman Marcus
Hilary Duff left the Chanel at home for once and opted to carry this luxe, multi-textured Proenza bag to a nail salon in West Hollywood. This gorgeous bag is from Proenza Schouler’s Pre-Fall 2014 Collection. I was a bit surprised when PS hopped on the bucket bag train, but this design at least brings something new to the table.
Hilary Swank
Chloé Drew Perforated Shoulder Bag
$1,990 via Bergdorf Goodman
Here’s Hilary Swank “out and about” in Beverly Hills, carrying an attractive, perforated version of a Chloé bag that we dubbed one of The Most Important Bags of 2014. Spring deliveries are just now arriving, so we’ll see how quickly they sell through.
Kendall Jenner
Givenchy Studded Pandora Bag
Shop Givenchy via Net-a-Porter
The Kardashian-Jenners spend an absurd amount of time loitering around what our photo service refers to as “medical buildings” in Beverly Hills. Here’s Kendall Jenner, leaving such a building with a studded Pandora. This is the only iteration of the Pandora I don’t like; I don’t feel those giant studs add anything to this design.
Khloé Kardashian
Hermès Birkin
Here’s Khloé Kardashian leaving another favorite Kardashian haunt–the gym–with one of her favorite Hermès Birkins. In fact, this one might be her designated “gym Birkin.”
Marion Cotillard
Christian Dior Lady Dior Mini Tote
Is fashion really just this effortless when you’re French? Marion’s mixed stripes, leopard shawl, mini Lady Dior and amazing Stella McCartney sunglasses look so natural on her.
Nicole Kidman
Louis Vuitton x Christian Louboutin Shopping Tote
Select Louis Vuitton collab bags have remained popular with celebs many months after their debuts. Though should we really be surprised when Louis Vuitton and Christian Louboutin collaborate on a bag that stars really like? Probably not, but other bags from the Louis Vuitton Icon and Iconoclasts Collection certainly didn’t fare quite as well.
Rachel Zoe
Saint Laurent Sac de Jour Bag
$2,890 via MATCHESFASHION.COM
Here’s Rachel Zoe, dining at Craig’s in West Hollywood and carrying a black Sac de Jour. I rambled on about this bag at length earlier in the week. In short, like many of you, I find its continued popularity perplexing.
Reese Witherspoon
The Row Satchel 12 Tote
$2,850 via Net-a-Porter
Here’s Reese Witherspoon, wearing one of her smug, “I’m not going to acknowledge I’m being photographed by paps” faces, which are my favorite. I thought her satchel from The Row might be facing the wrong way, but no. It’s really just that simple. And expensive.
I adore the simplicity of the Row satchel. I just wish it wasn’t so expensive.
I’m loving the Stella McCartney sunglasses!
The Row= ridiculously overpriced bags
No way. Beautifully simple designs and the leather is so soft. I don’t own any but they’re definitely growing on me. Understated doesn’t mean cheap.
I also love the understated design of the Row bags … I need to see them for real. I used to think Loewe were overpriced until I found myself in a puddle of drool in their flagship in Madrid .
With luxury goods you definitely need to see and touch to appreciate and understand what makes them so special.
I actually liked the LV Icon handbags even the one with the holes. They were cool and different.
The Louis Vuitton x Christian Louboutin bag is probably the most popular one because it is the most normal looking one from that strange designer collab collection.
“gym birkin”…must be nice!
Love that teeny lady dior!
Love The Row satchel, even in white.
Does anyone know what the size of Kendall’s pandora is? Small or medium?
It’s the medium size
The antigona, I find its continued popularity perplexing.
I dont’t know why Saint Laurent Sac de Jour bag gets so much heat from this website…it is a beautiful bag after all.
I agree!
Nice bags with reasonable price.
Zarah from Bizbilla B2B portal
Beautiful and overpriced.
