We were recently reminded of the supreme excellence of Maria Shriver‘s handbag collection when she carried a bright blue alligator Ralph Lauren Ricky Bag during a recent evening out on the town. Maria is a woman of very specific tastes: she loves sophisticated, office-appropriate top-handled satchels and totes, and Birkins most of all. Let’s review some recent highlights from her collection.
It’s not often that we see a croc mystery bag, and yet here’s one, dangling from Maria’s arm as she leaves Craig’s with her kids. Ideas, hive mind? Nancy Gonazlez?
Hermès Birkin
Here’s Maria meeting her daughter for lunch in Brentwood with a black leather Birkin that is practically glittering in the sunlight.

She also owns a couple of these particularly preppy toile-paneled versions of the bag. Here she is with the black leather version in Brentwood.

And here she is with the brown leather version in Beverly Hills.

We’re guessing this burgundy gator Birkin is the most expensive one in her collection, but of course, we could be mistaken. Maria carried this bag while shopping with her daughter in Malibu earlier this year.
Prada Executive Tote

Prada is a preferred brand of businesswomen nationwide, and Maria is not immune to its charms. She carried this soft grey Prada Executive Tote at LAX.
Prada Satchel

And she chose this hot red Prada Satchel for a trip to the Brentwood Country Mart. Notice how she wears her smartphone as a second handbag, like a total pro.
Ralph Lauren Alligator Ricky Bag

Finally, here she is leaving Catch just last week with her son and daughter AND that aforementioned Ralph Lauren Alligator Ricky Bag.
