What we’ve always found true on PurseForum has once again proved itself true on Instagram: people love to share their accessories acquisitions with people who appreciate them. In our new series, Instagram’s Handbag Celebrities, we’ll bring you close-up looks at the women who are doing that in the most hypnotic fashion on the popular photo-sharing platform. For our first installment, we went with one of the best: @upcloseandstylish.
The woman behind the account keeps herself anonymous and doesn’t show her face, but there’s rampant Internet speculation that she’s the wife of a wealthy European businessman. Her clothing choices, although not uniformly high-end (she mixes in a lot of items from Zara and Forever 21), would bear out the “wealthy” part, at the very least. The modelesque blonde has some of the rarest Birkins in the world, including both the So Black and the Himalayan crocodile versions, plus a huge selection of exotic and leather bags from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior and beyond. Check out some of our favorites of her snaps below, but if you love to ogle beautiful bags (and shoes – the lady loves her Louboutins), we highly suggest you join her legion of Instagram followers, currently 904,000 strong. If you’re acquisition-minded, Upcloseinstylish is also excellent about posting brand and style names for everything in her photos.

This feature is an excellent idea! I really hope you feature @ec24m as well! Some asian representation would be lovely!
Yes, we follow @ec24m – she will def be featured!
Up Close and insanely wealthy (just photos of luxury goods not so sure what makes it stylish??)
I agree. Her style is something that every celebrity wear. nothing avant-garde. her bags are the typical hermes, expensive but nothing eccentric or fashion-defying.
My Uncle Caleb just got red Ford Focus ST
by working off of a computer. try this CashFig.?om
Love her and her style. I think the quality of her pics and the effort she puts into it really pays of. I may not even afford everything she shows, but at least I can admire here collection. One of the best IG accounts purse wise!
Love her!And the fact that she chooses to remain anonymous is very respectable.
Her style is very LA. Most look contrived. I like the individual pieces (clothing) though.
I adore this lady! She mixes elegant pieces and casuals with such a flair!
The pictures look very well composed and professionally done, of high quality. Love’em! She probably IS a model.
She is awsome!!!The body, super long legs, the accessories…love her choices!
Love it all, tons of style and fashion!
I love IG handbag celebs!
A great viewpoint for style guiding ……… Ooohh lala is all I am saying.
I will add some color to my Bag wardrobe with the Purple and the Green bags, thank you veddy much 🙂
She really, REALLY loves her Cartier Love bracelets.
She is one of my favorites.
The authenticity of her items are questionable…Why hide your face? Incriminating pix???
She’s a wealthy stay at home wife from Sweden, who people already call a ‘gold digger’ because her husband could be her father and is disabled. But I think she really just loves fashion and doesn’t want to attract attention to herself (her status or family) so she leaves the face out. She’s also not the most beautiful woman in the world and people on the net are mean.
Erm, maybe she just chooses to remain anonymous? Why must it have anything to do with the authenticity of her bags?
She has impeccable taste!
You forgot her GORGEOUS Celine Emerald Croc Box Bag!
