We see a lot of Hermès bags around here, but rarely do we see collections as spectacular as those of Petra and Tamara Ecclestone. We previously examined who the British heiresses are and where their seemingly endless supplies of dollars come from, and now we’re here to take a true, in-depth look at as many of the Ecclestones’ bags as we can find. In addition to Hermè, get ready to see a lot of Céline.
Saint Laurent Small Monogramme Matelasse Bag
$1,990 via Saks
Even with as much Hermès as we’re about to see, neither sister tends to carry the brand’s clutches.
I can’t tell you who makes this clutch, mostly because the snakeskin is too bright and shiny to make out the logo hardware, but I thought that was impressive enough in its own right to merit inclusion.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
This is Bernie Ecclestone, president of Formula 1 Racing and the source of all of Tamara and Petra’s Birkin cash. This is also the best view I could find of Tamara’s gorgeous rose croc Birkin.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
Okay, let’s get to it. This croc Birkin went to Wimbledon.
Hermès Birkin
A more casual Birkin with a dressier outfit.
Saint Laurent Monogramme Small Shoulder Bag
$1,199 via Overstock.com
When the sisters venture outside of Hermès, they’re both pretty comfortable with Saint Laurent. I’m guessing Petra didn’t get hers from Overstock.com, though.
Hermès Birkin
That’s more like it.
Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Birkin
The sisters, as you might imagine, are big on the rarest of Hermès’ exotic Birkins.
Céline Python Phantom Luggage Tote
Tamara also has a real penchant for Céline totes, specifically the Phantom Luggage. They’re the most well-represented bags in her collection, other than Birkins.
Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Birkin
Petra also has a Himalayan croc Birkin too, obviously. She can’t be left out.
Hermès Kelly Bag
Neither of the sisters are huge Kelly girls, but this one is lovely.
Céline Crocodile Luggage Tote
I believe that this Phantom is real croc instead of embossed, and if it is, it’s the only one of its kind I’ve ever seen.
Bottega Veneta Knot Clutch
$1,450 via Barneys
I’m genuinely curious as to what the girls have against Hermès evening bags and clutches.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
We could all use some bright red crocodile in our lives from time to time.
Chanel Boy Bag
I expected more Chanel from both of the sisters, and although I suspect they own a good bit of stuff from the brand, they mainly stick to Hermès and Céline when out and about.
Hermès Birkin
Both Petra and Tamara have babies, and both carry even their most expensive and delicate bags in potentially messy mommy moments.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
This rose-colored Birkin matches that little baby’s rosy cheeks.
Céline Phantom Luggage Tote
This may be the least expensive day bag that Tamara owns. Think about that for a second.
Saint Laurent Monogramme Clutch
$995 via Saks
What is it with the Saint Laurent clutches, though?
Céline Phantom Suede Luggage Tote
A casual look.
Céline Phantom Luggage Tote
She may buy these in bulk.
Louis Vuitton Dog Carrier
$2,690 via Louis Vuitton
The presence of an LV dog carrier in Tamara’s collection is a strong indication that Hermès doesn’t make one. (We’ll talk about that Birkin in a second.)
Céline Phantom Luggage Tote
This is just greedy.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
The subtle hunter green shade of this bag is totally gorgeous and elegant.
Hermès So Black Kelly Bag
Both sisters have their own elusive So Black Alligator Birkins, but Petra also has a Kelly from the extremely limited, sought-after collection.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
The pale beige of this particular bag really highlights the beautiful texture of the croc.
Céline Python Luggage Tote
This one’s the only non-Phantom of Tamara’s Luggage Totes.
Céline Phantom Suede Luggage Tote
Tamara is 5’8″ and almost always wears enormous heels, so the Phanton Luggage doesn’t look quite as oversized on her as it does most people.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
Another enviable baby/Birkin combo from Petra.
Hermès So Black Alligator Birkin
Here’s one of those So Blacks we’ve been promising. Pretty, right?
Hermès So Black Alligator Birkin
Both sisters have their own, of course.
Céline Phantom Luggage Tote
I love this graphic white Phantom’s dark edges.
Hermès Birkin
By now, you know that regular leather is a super low-key look for Petra, especially in a neutral.
Alexander McQueen Studded Skull Clutch
$1,486 via farfetch.com
Things like this don’t happen by accident. They happen because Tamara went into an Alexander McQueen boutique and bought it out, probably. (She also has this McQueen dress in red.)
Céline Suede Phantom Luggage Tote
Yes, this is different from the other light grey suede Phantom that Tamara has. Slightly.
Hermès Kelly Bag
I really wish there were more Kellys in the sisters’ collections.
Céline Leopard Luggage Tote
The sisters generally stick to solid colors and exotics, but Petra is a bit bolder at times.
Céline Snakeskin Classic Box Bag
Carrying this bag as a clutch is a bit of a non-intuitive choice; it’s a little boxy for that.
Céline Phantom Luggage Tote
The Céline messenger makes a lot of trips to Tamara’s place.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin
My jaw dropped a lot while compiling these photos, but never as far as it did when I found this bag.
Hermès Birkin
Petra is far more likely to pick a bright Birkin than her sister.
Hermès Birkins, Crocodile and Leather
I wish I had a closer photo of the gorgeous, dove grey croc Birkin sitting in front of Tamara.
Hermès Birkin
I could only find one photo of Tamara with this dark teal beauty, but it looks well-loved.
Hermès Birkin
It wouldn’t shock me to find out Tamara had borrowed this bright blue bag from Petra.
Hermès Birkin
It’d be nice to have an attractive guy follow you around and protect you and carry your Helmut Lang shopping bag.
Hermès Birkin
I wonder how Tamara decides when she will or will not use her Birkin charm.
Hermès Birkin
Both sisters stocked up on Hermès’ candy colors while they were available.
Hermès Birkin
Tamara’s friend’s crock Birkin is also worthy of note.
Valentino VaVaVoom Shoulder Bag
$2,045 via Net-a-Porter
Another night out, another night without an Hermès clutch.
Hermès Kelly
If an Ecclestone reads this, I’d appreciate it if y’all could buy a bunch of Kellys, and then I could do another one of these posts just about them.
Hermès Birkin
Another vivid candy Birkin.
Hermès Birkin
A Birkin and sweats is what Petra appears to wear almost every day.
Balenciaga Suede City Bag
$1,985 via Barneys
Petra went through a phase for a couple of weeks where she carried Balenciaga, but she quickly reverted back to her old favorite: Hermès.
