The gods have heard my cries and celebs have suddenly changed their lifestyle handbag-carrying habits accordingly. The endless sea of Chanel and Hermès bags has suddenly (almost) run dry (can’t speak for next week, though), and celebs are finally choosing to dine somewhere other than the same two West Hollywood eateries! And the bag choices are at least interesting and diverse, even if the bags themselves are maybe not your favorites. It’s all a girl could ask for on any given week. Well, it’s all this girl could ask for, at least.
Amber Rose
Moschino Fur Flap Bag
Shop Moschino via Neiman Marcus
Let’s start these proceedings with a pic of Amber Rose just KILLING IT as she leaves Sushi Roku in West Hollywood. She looks just like a 1980’s Nintendo video game villainess, and I LOVE it. Also, she’s carrying a furry Moschino bag, because Moschino is basically all she carries.
Ashlee Simpson
Saint Laurent Velvet Monogramme Clutch
$973 via Net-a-Porter
You guys, I don’t feel we’ve been paying enough attention to Ashlee Simpson. Here she is, leaving Dan Tana’s with husband Evan Ross and a lush velvet Saint Laurent clutch. Celebs are making some pretty diverse dining choices this week; it’s not all Craig’s and The Nice Guy!
Christy Turlington
Rag and Bone Flight Satchel
$895 via Barneys
Christy Turlington was recently snapped carrying this practical, bicolor Rag & Bone satchel in NYC. I have never seen a celeb carrying this bag before, and that’s slightly shocking, because it seems it’s been out for a while. Celebs are pretty hardcore about Rag & Bone boots–why does the love not translate to handbags?
Heidi Klum
MCM Milla Tote
$920 via Nordstrom
Here’s yet another legendary supermodel ambling around NYC, as legendary supermodels are wont to do. It’s Heidi Klum, showing some love to a brand from the motherland. (Germany. Germany is the motherland, just in case you were under the impression that Heidi was Swiss or something.)
Jessica Alba
Anya Hindmarch Wink Stickers Crossbody Bag
$1,295 via Saks
Jessica Alba was recently spotted carrying this playful Anya Hindmarch crossbody at JFK. This bag seems extremely on-brand for Jessica Alba.
Kendall Jenner
Givenchy Mini Lucrezia Bag
$1,295 via SSENSE
Here’s Kendall Jenner, carrying one of her favorite bags to lunch in LA with Khloé and Scott. (Yes, he somehow remains in the Kardashian family circle’s orbit.) Kendall isn’t really carrying anything else besides Givenchy and Hermès these days.
Kim Kardashian
Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Birkin
Here’s Kim K., enraptured by her phone while at LAX with Kanye and what I can only assume is her most prized possession (aside from her kids, though if she still likes this bag more than the new one I won’t judge), the Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Birkin.
Rihanna
The Row Ascot Satin Hobo
$990 via Neiman Marcus
We leave you to puzzle over this pic of Rihanna heading into The Nice Guy to party with Drake. Denim and shearling wraps? I am usually on board for all of Rihanna’s life/fashion choices, but I can’t wrap my mind around this one.
I do enjoy the usual Chanel and Hermes pics but these are definitely a nice breath of fresh air! The mini Lucrezia is adorable.
Ditto!
Great bags, most of them. But who walks around with her clutch like that, Ashlee? Making sure we see the logo? (Does this mean YSL sent it to her??)
I thought the same thing. She looks like she’s desperate to show off the bag. So maybe the SL people sent it to her. How conspicuous!
I’m assuming she called the press. It’s not as if she’s doing much nowadays to warrant a big paparazzi following.
First off Ashlee Simpson is unrecognizable.
Secondly, Kim’s croc Hermes is to die for.
I hate to complain, but can we PLEASE do a moratorium on the Kardashian / Jenners for a bit? Such an over saturation of them lately.
I thought Germany was always referred to as the Fatherland? That Himalayan croc Birkin might be the only Birkin I like. I saw a woman carrying one at Baselworld (my husband collects watches, and I tagged along just for an excuse to go to Switzermand), and it was incredibly beautiful in person.
*Switzerland (oops)
Isnt MCM technically Korean now? I love MCM. I know its on the cheaper side but I love the leather, I love the studs, I love the backpack and I love the cross body. I just love MCM.
I LOVE that Hermes bag!
