Celebs were extremely partial to Hermès this week, especially the brand’s exotic Kellys and Birkins. But if Hermès isn’t your favorite, don’t fret. We’re seeing more exciting, up-and-coming brands pop up on celeb arms this season, as well as new styles and redesigns from a few of our old faves. Which bag do you reach for during these brisk fall days when your Birkins are out of commission?
Alessandra Ambrosio
Hermès Birkin
Alessandra Ambrosio is currently in Paris for the Victoria’s Secret runway show, and she’s obviously brought all of her best black leather goods along with her.
Ariel Winter
Céline Micro Luggage Tote
Shop Céline Bags via Vestiaire Collective
Paps spotted Ariel Winter carrying this black Céline Micro Luggage Tote while out and about with her boyfriend in LA.
Chrissy Teigen
Aerin Suede Weekender
$1,365 via Net-a-Porter
Chrissy Teigen is currently favoring this oversized suede weekender from Aerin. Aerin is a brand that has only very recently expanded into handbags. It was founded by Estée Lauder heiress Aerin Lauder, who is Estée’s granddaughter.
EJ Johnson
Hermès Kelly Bag
EJ Johnson paired his favorite exotic black Hermès Kelly Bag with this daring lace jumpsuit for his latest excursion to Catch. Catch continues to be LA’s biggest dinner-time draw for celebs and their adoring paparazzi.
Heidi Klum
MCM Tambourine Bag
Shop MCM via Nordstrom
Here’s a bag we don’t see every day: the MCM Tambourine Bag. Heidi Klum recently carried this one while shopping for snowboard equipment with her kids at Burton in LA. This bag is simple, compact, and has just enough logo action to let you know it’s expensive. Happily, it’s not quite as expensive as you might expect.
Khloé Kardashian
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
Here’s Khloé Kardashian, voguing her way through LAX with a hot red croc Birkin. Meanwhile, across town…
Kourtney Kardashian
Hermès Birkin
…her sister Kourtney headed into a Beverly Hills office building with her own little black Birkin in tow. I like how she’s holding it aloft, as if it’s way too good to be so close to those back alley dumpsters.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Stella McCartney Falabella Satchel
$1,395 via Neiman Marcus
Finally, here’s SJP, not too far from her home in Greenwich Village. She’s carrying an attractive, faux leather Stella McCartney Falabella Satchel. The slouchy Falabella style has definitely been overdue for a refresh, and this one is quite pleasing.
I have surprised myself by loving Alessandra’s over-the-top ensemble. That is not an easy look to pull off. The Moschino jacket is definitely my cup of tea.
I just can’t with EJ’s jumpsuit. I’m not a prude, but it’s too revealing for my taste. But, to each his own. That’s what makes the world go ’round.
I don’t like Alessandra’s jacket but she looks absolutely beautiful.
Alessandra’s outfit is beautiful.
And I don’t understand but does Purseblog’s endorse Johnson? He is the only man regularly featured on the blog and frankly is unappealing.
He is absolutely free to express himself and his taste in female clothing ,and he obviously has an appreciation for handbags, but I kind of agree with you.
I’m very much done with seeing EJ on the blog. There have to be other, more fashionable and less desperate for attention looking men who are rocking their bags. In fact I know there are. Several are on TPF.
EJ needs to STOP with the see through spandex cat suits / jump suits / maxi dresses! I thought the first 5000 times he wore them he was having a unique fashion moment. Now he looks simply sad. Certainly he can find some other avante garde style to wear.
