Celebs are not exactly full of smiles this week, but we all know style is a deadly serious business. Also, the world is a bit of a dumpster fire at the moment, so everyone gets a pass this week! We invite you to briefly distract yourself from 2019’s endlessly terrible news cycle with some truly premium celebrity bag picks that include cutting-edge designs from Balenciaga and Bulgari (with an assist from Alexander Wang). Take your time, really.
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez was recently spotted leaving a gym in LA carrying an extremely rare Himalayan croc Birkin. She and Kim Kardashian are the only two people I can think of that own one of these.
Madison Beer
Madison Beer was seen doing a little shopping with a black patent leather By Far Rachel Bag.
Kourtney Kardashian
Speaking of the Kardashians, here’s Kourtney, cruising around LA with a mini Hermès Kelly. Mini Kellys have been extremely prevalent in recent weeks.
Kelly Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne brought a cute, quilted Chanel mini to the world premiere of Angel Has Fallen in LA.
Elsa Hosk
Elsa Hosk was spotted out and about in the East Village wearing a brand new Coach Tabby Bag. Lucy pitched this as a more affordable alternative to the Chloé C Bag.
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid was spotted carrying this newly re-imagined version of the Bulgari Serpenti Forever Bag from Alexander Wang. As it so happens…
Hailey Bieber
Hailey Bieber actually starred in the ad campaign for that Bulgari x Alexander Wang collab, but here she is in West Hollywood, CA, carrying the very latest from Balenciaga.
Andie MacDowell
Finally, we have Andie MacDowell, leaving the Today show in New York with a Ferragamo Studio Bag. Andie is out promoting her new thriller, Ready or Not.
I believe Victoria Beckham also owns a Himalayan Birkin. I personally do not find the bag attractive at all.
I think I’ve seen pics on this site of Steve Harvey’s wife with one also.
She does, the media has covered her carrying it on many occasions. Also, she has an extensive Birkin collection, worth over 2 million dollars. She keeps them in a perfectly temperature controlled room. My Hermes SA said that “customers are only allowed to purchase 2 Birkin’s a year”. However, this “rule” apparently doesn’t apply to her or the Kardashians.
Jamie Chua has the biggest collection. She had talked about it. Most celebrities and collectors buy them second hand from the resale market. Hermès has made it clear that they do not make exception.
I doubt they limit to 2 a year. I have a friend with a collection of 17 Birkins. Plus her daughters have their own. All real. Didn’t take the family almost a decade to acquire them.
I have been purchasing Birkin’s at Hermes for years. My SA informed me of this when I wanted to purchase a 3rd Birkin in one year. She stated that “customers are limited to 2 purchases a year to give other people a chance to buy”. I thought it was BS because I could think of so many other people who owned more. To be honest, I think Hermes associates are dishonest with their customers. In fact, years ago when the Hermes boutique opened where I live I inquired about purchasing a Birkin. The SA looked me dead in the eye and said “we put them in the window and they sell out within hours”. I knew this wasn’t true because I had to drive past the store on my way to and from work and never saw a Birkin in their display window.
JLo is so fit it’s amazing. That’s discipline.
Boy, those are some shoes on Mrs. Bieber.
Really like the Alexander Wang offerings! Cute and different.
