We’re all just a product of our environment, and Jessica Simpson is from Texas, where everything is (reportedly) bigger. Jessica certainly prefers bags of a certain size, even as mini and micro bags remain one of the market’s biggest trends. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jessica Simpson carry a mini bag of any make, and if I did, it would actually be pretty jarring. Jessica usually goes for the biggest size available in any particular style, despite having a security detail that would happily carry all of her valuables if required.
All that being said, I took a long look at The Many Bags of Jessica Simpson from way back in 2012, and she’s actually reined in her penchant for oversized bags ever so slightly. Her giant designer handbag picks are now perhaps 15% less giant than the gargantuan totes she favored 3 or 4 years ago. Progress?
Balenciaga Belt Bag

Here’s Jessica leaving a photo shoot in NYC with a beautiful black and white Balenciaga Belt Bag. Other celebs don’t seem to favor this tote as much as Jessica does, and I suspect its large size may be to blame.
Céline All Soft Bag
Paps spotted Jessica carrying this two-tone Céline All Soft Bag on one of her many annual trips to LAX with her husband Eric Johnson. Jessica is not one for bag repetition, even at the airport.
Fendi Peekaboo Bag
$7,250 via Neiman Marcus
Jessica really loves the new Fendi Peekaboos, and owns several of the most recent models. Here she is leaving the Greenwich Hotel in NYC with an eye-catching multi-colored calf hair version accented with a green Fendi Bag Bug, of course.

And here she is leaving another Manhattan hotel around the holidays last year with an even more colorful Fendi Peekaboo, accessorized with a totally different Fendi Bag Bug.
Fendi Peekaboo Bag
$4,900 via Barneys
This is a very recent shot of her carrying a new calfskin leather version with leather whipstitching at JFK. In other recent Jessica Simpson fashion news: she’s been wearing a surprising amount of fur lately.
Givenchy Easy Tote
Shop Givenchy via Net-a-Porter
Here’s Jessica heading into Barneys in NYC with a gorgeous black leather and suede Givenchy Easy Tote. She may have acquired that last Fendi Peekaboo on this very trip.
Lanvin Tassel Tote
$1,650 via Saks
Jessica is seen here carrying a sumptuous black leather Lanvin Tassel Tote at JFK. This Lanvin bag is a low-key celeb airport fave. We even designated it as one of our 17 Perfect, Simple Totes for the Airport.
Valentino My Rockstud Tote
$2,995 via Nordstrom
Finally, here’s one last parting shot of Jessica and Eric hand-in-hand at LAX. She has chosen a striped Valentino My Rockstud Tote for this particular airport excursion. As you can probably deduce for yourself, this Valentino design is notable for its distinct lack of Rockstuds.
Jessica always buys the funkiest and weirdest bags but i love it
America must be proud of you, the all-American bimbo
“Bimbo” is a derogatory term for an attractive but unintelligent female. I doubt very much that Jessica Simpson is unintelligent. After all, she is intelligent enough to turn marginal singing and acting talent and being laughed at on Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica into a brand that has been going strong for 10 years and has $1 billion in annual revenue and plans to expand internationally. Let go of the hate.
While I don’t like women being called derogator names as well, the brand is not proof of her intelligence. The only involvement Jessica has with that brand is licensing of her name and being the “face” for the marketing. She doesn’t design, create marketing strategy, nor manage/run any part of the business. She got lucky with licensing her name to a brand that caught on. She had another brand, during Newlyweds’ run, that was a flop.
Well…America sure ain’t proud of your vocabulary lol
I like how she doesn’t go for the conventional “it” bags and when she does its the unconventional designs of them. That shows real ‘status’ to me.
I personally only like around half of these bags but I LOVE that she chooses these types of bags. It’s what I would do if I had her wealth. What’s the point in being the billionth rich woman with a birkin and 2.55 in every colour and skin.
She has fun with her bags and I love that about her
The girl has good taste (and a decent name) ?
While I like a few of her bags, I find it disturbing that any celebrity in this day and age would wear fur?
Funny though, her own line of bags are tiny. Every time I see one that I like, it’s always too small. Wish she was still using the stylist of her Nick Lachey days, she used to dress much, much better.
