Angelina Jolie is one of the closest people we currently have to a traditional movie star, and love her or hate her, what she wears is always notable, even if she often seems to be deliberately attempting to make sure it’s not. She doesn’t always carry handbags (usually because she’s also carrying a child or two), but when she does, her choices are often just as interesting for what they’re not as for what they are.
Unlike every other celebrity that we’ve profiled in our The Many Bags series, Angelina appears to own no Hermes, no Chanel, not even any Givenchy or Goyard. Instead, she’s faithful almost fully to Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent, both before and after the hacking-off of the “Yves.” In handbags, just as in seemingly everything else in her life from childbirth to activism, Angelina does it her way.
Louis Vuitton Cabas Piano Tote
Angelina Jolie was once the mother of only one child and a woman who wore a T-shirt and jeans to get ice cream. It seems like that cannot possibly be true, but here we are.
Hammitt Bel Air Diaper Bag
One of the biggest misconceptions about Angelina is that everything she wears is super expensive; in reality, she’s just as likely to cheat on Saint Laurent and Vuitton with a contemporary brand as with something super expensive.
Storksak Gigi Chocolate Diaper Bag
Everyone needs a place to put the bottles and changing pad, even one of the most famous women on the planet.
Louis Vuitton Cabas Mezzo Tote
This bag is probably the one most closely tied to Angelina. She carried the Cabas Mezzo for years, and her love for the bag helped spark her close relationship with Louis Vuitton.
Botkier Sasha Satchel
Shop Botkier via ShopBop
Probably the only thing that Angelina and I have in common is our ownership of this Botkier bag. I’ll take it.
Gerard Darel Dublin 24 Hour Bag
Of all the bags I found on Angelina’s arm, this one is easily the most out of character. Maleficent with a pom pom bag!
Valentino Histoire Bag
Shop Valentino via Neiman Marcus
As we showed you last week, Angelina has a Histoire and so does little Zahara.
Akris Ai Tote
$1,670 via Bergdorf Goodman
When Akris debuted handbags, Angelina’s use of this bag made it big fashion news.
Cartier Marcello de Cartier Shopping Tote
$2,320 via Cartier
The Marcello de Cartier is a bag we see in celeb collections regularly but that I’ve never spotted on anyone in the wild, not even in the designer handbag heaven of New York’s Upper East Side.
Julie K Weekender Tote
Yet another example that Angelina’s an equal-opportunity bag carrier.
Loewe Amazona Bag
$2,400 via Net-a-Porter
With Angelina’s penchant for dark neutrals, this beige Amazona almost qualifies as a bright.
Chloe Aurore Padlock Tote
Shop Chloe via Saks
This bag is like the reincarnated Ghost of Paddingtons Past.
Stella McCartney Grace Shoulder Bag
Shop Stella McCartney via Net-a-Porter
Angelina’s not much for shoulder bags, it seems, but this one fits her other bag requirements (black, relatively nondescript) perfectly.
Saint Laurent Suede Sac de Jour Bag
$2,950 via farfetch.com
Since Hedi Slimane took the reigns at Saint Laurent, Angelina’s been constantly photographed wearing and carrying his clothes and bags. She looks so damn good in Saint Laurent that even I, a huge Slimane skeptic, can’t deny it.
Louis Vuitton Sac Plat Tote
$1,350 via Louis Vuitton
Angelina has that effect on things; seeing multiple photos of her with Louis Vuitton monogram bags feels like it’s already improved my opinion of the iconic print.
Tom Ford Carine Shoulder Bag
Shop Tom Ford via Neiman Marcus
I feel like Angelina would already have a Tom Ford bag named after her if Jennifer Aniston weren’t such a good friend of the brand.
Louis Vuitton SC Clutch
$2,220 via Louis Vuitton
A lack of an SC Satchel to go along with this clutch seems like a glaring gap in Angelina’s handbag collection.
Jimmy Choo Tube Clutch
Shop via Jimmy Choo
Jimmy Choo clutches are red carpet go-tos for almost all of Hollywood, and Angelina’s no exception. Naturally, though, hers is rather inconspicuous.
Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc Tote
Shop Saint Laurent via MATCHESFASHION.COM
Angelina was a fan of Saint Laurent before it dropped the Yves and added Hedi Slimane, but she wasn’t quite so ardent as she is now.
Louis Vuitton Lockit PM Bondage Clutch
This gorgeous little Vuitton clutch is the flashiest thing, both literally and figuratively, in Jolie’s collection.
Ralph Lauren Bedford Bag
$2,250 via Ralph Lauren
Slick, black, expensive-looking; this Ralph Lauren bag is the Platonic ideal of what you’d expect Angelina Jolie to carry.
Salvatore Ferragamo Britta Tote
Shop Ferragamo via Bloomingdale’s
With its traditional sensibilities and general lack of obvious branding, you’d expect Angelina to carry a lot more Ferragamo.
Saint Laurent Lutetia Clutch
Shop Saint Laurent via Nordstrom
Suede is a non-traditional choice for evening, but Angelina makes it look like the most natural thing in the world.
Louis Vuitton Metis Shoulder Bag
$1,960 via Louis Vuitton
For the nay-sayers, this photo is a pretty strong argument for the idea that Louis Vuitton’s monogram can still look totally chic.
Louis Vuitton Keepall Bandouliere Bag
$1,740 via Louis Vuitton
Some sort of Vuitton luggage is mandatory in all celebrity closets.
Louis Vuitton Capucines Bag
$6,050 via Louis Vuitton
Angelina was among the first to carry the Capucines when it was new, so it’ll be interesting to see when and if she shows up with a Soft Lockit.
Saint Laurent Betty Mini Shoulder Bag
$1,304 via MATCHESFASHION.COM
She’d have to make room for the Soft Lockit around all the Saint Laurent that recently arrived in her wardrobe, of course.
Saint Laurent Calf Hair Sac de Jour
$3,843 via MATCHESFASHION.COM
See what I mean?
Of all the bags in Angelina’s collection, this one is the only true mystery to us. If you recognize it, educate us in the comments.
Louis Vuitton Satchel
If you know the name of this Louis Vuitton bag, let us know!
Saint Laurent Cassandre Lisse Shopper Tote
$2,650 via Nordstrom
On the other hand, there’s no confusion over this bag.
I think she is a very practical lady, using bags that are comfortable, that fit in everything she needs, and that goes with everything so she doesn’t have to keep changing bags.
Love her or hate her, there’s no denying Angie’s a classic, as are her bags.
Angelina. Is. Everything. The end.
just as

my mother
recently bought an awesome green Toyota Avalon Hybrid just by working from a
home computer… look at here now Fiscalpost.???
as much as my feelings for Angelina are mixed, you have to respect someone that clearly carries what they want, completely regardless of a bag or brand’s popularity
the Tom Ford bag is the best. Love that bag.
You know why?Because Angie doesn’t buy bags, they give everything to her.Apparently the same goes for clothes, she choses them and have them delivered.
Not always .. some people assume that but “they ” don’t really give “everything” to her or anyone else. They do give bags etc but Angelina Jolie buys her own bags and clothing too.
I love her collection! It doesn’t give the feeling of excess that I get from the K sisters. I would’ve liked to see some Bottega Veneta on her as those are very well made and understated
i thought the large black tote bag (third from last) is Everlane Petra Portfolio?
Was just going to say the same thing! I think it’s the Everlane Petra tote.
Yea that’s what I thought to… There was a big article about on it on Daily Mail.
I’m not a big fan of her collection (I just can’t come around the monogrammed LVs) but it’s really refreshing to see a star’s collection without seeing Celine and Chanel for the 10000th time
seeing angelina with monogram LV just makes it so classy
I only like 2 or 3 of these bags but I love her sunglass collection. She must have hundreds of them because she’s wearing a different pair in every picture
The second to last one was done by nicolas ghesquiere the new creative director that replaced Marc.
And the name is Doc. Epi noir, inspired by speedy. From FW2014 show. It is light, durable, discreet and wearable from day to night.
Although at 20 mill give or take a film she can well afford these and more but she is gifted most (LV for certain as she did an ad campaign for them).
I must admit I don’t think AJ = handbags (unlike all the Kardashians). I get the impression for her it’s a lot about function and with so many kids, I reckon she’d have to 🙂 Can’t say any of them really grab me but they fit in with her overall classical, fairly minimalist look. Her clothes tend to steal the show.
the one unnamed was the petra bag by everlane
She made a wonderful transition from Hollywood wildchild to Saint Angelina. Nothing about her is showy but she definitely shines.
I think #29 is a large Annabel Ingall bag

I got a lovely handbag at Target for $30 and donated $1000 to homeless children in Haiti. That seems like the way to go. Buying these expensive bags, clothes, etc. will not do anything to improve your life. It also feeds the Super Rich Plutocracy that is using your money to gain control of the U.S. government, it is one of the worst things you can do with your money. Either save it, or give it away to those in need, not those who control the system and buy the laws that screw the middle and working class.
Has it ever occurred to you to think about why Target, Kmart etc. are able to price their goods at such low prices? There’s a reason why they have $3 T-Shirts and even your $30 bag, these low prices often stem from horrifically low wages and dangerous working conditions in countries from Bangladesh to China. Buying cheap can be even more damaging than you might prefer to imagine.
there are plenty of middle and working class people that are employed by, and benefit from, the companies of “expensive bags, clothes, etc.”
Yes, many of the high end bags are made in countries where labor laws are acceptable. Plenty of employees making a decent or excellent wage so
you make a valid point. However, those people are not starving like millions of children around the world and I could not possibly wear an expensive bag knowing I could have fed some of them with that money. Also, this consumerism/ this status envy that drives us to need these things has given rise to Fake bags and the people who make those bags live and work in deplorable conditions and do not make a living wage. And, often, those who benefit from their
labor are terrorists or other sleezy organizations that are into lovely things like black market human trafficking/sex slavery. And finally, this status need has put many people, both men and women in difficult financial situations. The media and the banks encourage and allow it. We must stop wasting money and put it where it will help others or save it for
our own families. Spending money unecessarilyis the worst thing we can do for the economy. BTW, I am not denigrating Angelina. She has done more good with her celebrity than most, probably would agree with me. And, as
someone said before, her bags are probably given to her gratis, though she should proudly carry moderately priced or even inexpensive bags and brag about it! Got to give her credit for not carrying Hermes and the like, she certainly could. This is just food for thought. We have to reign ourselves in sometimes.
Her LV Capucines is almost as much as Hermes & for someone like her, LV monfram canvas bags are considered the moderately priced bags I’m afraid. I am sure she has quite alot of ostentatiously priced bags ect that aren’t shown here. But you’re right she’s done more than most greedy wealthy people.
Thanks! Interesting point of view.
Well said. Although I am obsessed with everything Coach, I can’t justify spending mucho money just for a name and simplicity. That’s why Coach is my favorite along with most which is all about fair price, quality, and variety. I proudfully have one of the best Coach collections of 100 bags (no LV, Chanel, etc). I buy bags for my pleasure and artistry and not for other’s judgement of me or status. I don’t feel as guilty for my endulgement since I am not donating to money high end snatchers.
Tom Ford and Chloe .. The most wonderful bags and I hate the monograms on anything .. really .. I only want my initials on my things. I love these photos, those were the most beautiful babies 🙂
Angelina Jolie is a world class of her own. No one ever comes close! Period.
EVERLANE – the mystery bag is from EVERLANE!
Amanda the mystery bag is the Everlane Petra in Market size. I have the same one in dark brown and I love it! It’s really buttery and sturdy! and what a great price for being made in Italy?
Picture#29 is “everlane” -portfolio

She actually owns a large beige Hermès Birkin bag (just google it).
I googled it and I don’t see her with a Birkin at all. There are many pictures of her with a large beige Sac De Jour though.
You missed out Angelina Jolie carrying her most beautiful bag, the Gucci 1973 tote she carried in Paris.
http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2010/12/10/angelina-jolie-or-madonna-who-wore-their-gucci-bag-better/
i love this xD
Photo 29 looks like the Petra bag from Everlane.
i just love Angelina ;). learning the history of monogram, its so lovely to see her using and prefer monogram, the pattern has such rich history even to Japanese and Tang dynasty imperial court.
