If you’re not familiar the Marjorie Harvey, it’s time to get acquainted. She’s wife to comedian, talk show host, suit purveyor and jack-of-all-trades Steve Harvey, and she’s also a fixture at Paris Fashion Week. She made it to the front rows the good ol’ fashion way: not by being a 22-year-old Instagram star or French actress, but by being a VIP client at the city’s biggest, most important fashion houses. There are a handful of other street style stars who have come to prominence this way, like Elena Perminova and Ulyana Sergeenko, but because Marjorie takes a particular interest in mind-blowing handbags, we of course take a particular interest in her.
Were I going to attend Paris Fashion Week, I’d want to do it like Marjorie does: she’s not there to work for a magazine, promote her latest movie or create branded content for her social media feeds. Instead, she’s there to wear crazy clothes, carry the rarest handbags in her collection and otherwise have fun. Honestly, it seems ideal.
Also ideal is Marjorie’s handbag closet, we’d imagine. Her collection surely goes far beyond the bags in the paparazzi photos we were able to find below, most of which are from fashion shows, but they do give you a representative sample of just how incredible hr collection. Take a look at all the gorgeous bags below and our tally of their full value at the end.
[A note on methodology: When known, we’ve used a bag’s original retail price. When unknown or when the bag’s market value far exceeds what it may have been purchased for at original retail, we’ve used priced sourced from respected auction houses and handbag brokers.]
Chanel Alligator WOC Bag
Similar Bag Sold for $8,365 via Heritage Auctions
Marjorie and Steve were vacationing in Portofino in this photo so, you know: a little, casual Chanel exotic.
Chanel Alligator Tote
Similar Bag Sold for $11,950 via Heritage Auctions
The actual retail of this bag was probably significantly higher than this comparable resale price, but we couldn’t find the MSRP data and Chanel exotics hold their value far better in fan favorites like the Classic Flap or Boy Bag than in seasonal styles like this one. I doubt Marjorie plans to resell, though.
Chanel Camera Minaudiere
$13,000 via Chanel
This is a brand new runway piece, but even so, I’m betting it’s all sold out.
Dior Alligator Bubble Bag
$28,500 via Dior
As far as I can tell, this piece was seasonal and Dior isn’t still making it, but the price above was its US price when new.
Dior Lady Dior Crocodile Bag
Similar Bag is $21,744 via Vestiaire Collective
For how long exotic Lady Dior bags have been in production, their listed prices are surprisingly difficult to come by. There’s a healthy resale market, though, so we’re going to use those prices for Marjorie’s three Lady Diors.
Dior Lady Dior Crocodile Bag
Similar Bag is $25,000 via Vestiaire Collective
Marjorie always looks like she’s having a good time and, ya know, I guess we all would in her situation.

Similar Bag is $25,000 via Vestiaire Collective
As far as I know, the hardware on this bag is crystal-encrusted instead of diamond-encrusted, but I wouldn’t be altogether shocked to find out I’m wrong.
Hermès Crocodile Birkin with Pavé Diamond Hardware
$175,000, estimated
This bag is tricky to estimate. Heritage Auctions sold an almost identical bag for about $79,000, but that was in 2014, and bags in this color with diamond hardware have shot up remarkably in value since then. I chose a midpoint between that 2014 price and the current record prices for similar bags, which are at about $300,000.
Hermès Constance Crocodile Bag
Similar Bag Sold for $18,750 via Heritage Auctions
We’re not here to count clothes, but I bet her vest also cost a pretty penny.
Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Birkin Bag
$110,000 via Portero
Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Kelly Bag
$126,950 via 1stDibs
We weren’t able to license a photo of Marjorie’s Himalayan Kelly from our photo service, but trust us, she has it along with both the little Birkin and the big one below.
Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Birkin Bag with Pavé Diamond Hardware
Similar Bag $450,000 via JaneFinds
Folks, this is a wild card. With bags of this rarity, sellers with a large enough clientele can more or less name their price. All designer prices are divorced from a piece’s material value to a certain extent, but with this bag in particular, there’s no telling how much someone might be willing to spend in order to have it. It’s the only one I was able to locate that’s currently available, and I couldn’t find any online records of sales at lower prices in the last year. The sky is the limit for this piece.
Hermès Kelly Cut Crocodile Clutch
The Same Bag Sold for $27,500 at Heritage Auctions
A couple PFWs ago, Marjorie showed up to like three different shows in a row with different exotic Kelly Cut clutches. It was a flex if I’ve ever seen one.
Hermès Kelly Cut Crocodile Clutch with Pavé Diamond Hardware
Similar Bag Without Diamonds Sold for $23,750 via Heritage Auctions
I can’t find any evidence that Hermès sells Kelly Cuts with diamond hardware, and if it doesn’t, then Marjorie either had this bag embellished by her jeweler or she bought it from a broker and the previous owner had it personalized. Adding “after-market” diamonds to Hermès bags is not uncommon, but since there’s no available precedent for the sale price of this bag with diamond hardware, we’re just going to play it safe and use the diamond-free estimate.
Hermès Kelly Cut Crocodile Clutch
Similar Bag Sold for $23,750 via Heritage Auctions
I wish we had a straight-on shot of this bag, because exotics are so lovely in light colors.
Hermès So Black Alligator Kelly Bag
Similar Bag Sold for $110,000 via Portero
Based on my research, the alligator Kelly might be the most difficult-to-find bag of the already rare So Black collection. Very few of them have ever been resold online, unlike the alligator Birkins, which you see pop up more commonly.
Louis Vuitton City Trunk Bag
$6,600 via Louis Vuitton
This isn’t an exotic, but it’s a runway piece that requires shoppers to call the brand and ask nicely in order to buy one, so it seemed worth including.
Louis Vuitton Crocodile Twist Bag
$18,400 via Louis Vuitton
This exact version of the Twist with corner patches is no longer made, but we’re going to use the price for the sleeker current model in the same size.
Louis Vuitton Louis Vuitton Deesse PM Crocodile Bag
$23,500 via Louis Vuitton
As you might have noticed in the photos so far, Marjorie isn’t just fond of exotic handbags–she also has a major thing for Dior sunglasses, like the ones in this photo.
Valentino Crocodile VaVaVoom Bag
$4,510 via Valentino
This bag has been discontinued, but that was the last MSRP for a crocodile VaVaVoom we could find.
Grand Total: $1,252,269
We’re sure she’s got a great insurance policy. Or, at least we hope she does.
Are slide 5 and 6 the same bag shown twice? I don’t generally speaking like Marjorie Harvey’s look which usually screams “look at me, I have a lot of money” but I must say that she does look like she is having fun and has an impressive collection of bags.
The bag in 5 is two-toned. The bag in 6 is not.
I don’t think they are–I looked at them for a while and I think the bag in slide 5 is larger and navy, while the one in 6 is smaller and true black. In 5, you can see the contrast between the bag and her coat, which is definitely black, if you look closely, and the handle attachments are set at different points on both bags.
Marjorie has the most beautiful bags of every celebrity, she is always styled on fleek!
well curated collection!
She is also an Haute Couture client so her closet must definitely be around $25 million including all the jewelry.
Well, I hope not given that she and Steve have an estimated net worth of about $100 million. I’d hate to think that a quarter of their net worth is clothes and jewelry.
Celebs also get freebies and huge discounts just to wear stuff. Steve is a businessman. Highly doubt he’ll go broke buying crap.
I assume that Steve is the celebrity that you are referring to. I do hope that he is getting stuff for free that goes to Marjorie because it would be shame if a quarter of their net worth is in her closet and I hope that they would both be smarter than that.
Not a fan, I find her to be uber tacky (constantly having to outdo others with more and more and more expensive bags has to be exhausting! Plus, finding new designers is so much more exciting!) BUT I have to give it to her, the toned down, more natural make up and hair she has on the picture where she wears that Chanel jean jacket suits her sooooooooooo much better! There’s hope!!
Wow! Makes me feel like my shopping habit and bag collection is very reasonable! Ha!
Hermès definitely makes Kelly Cut Clutche with Pavé Diamond Hardware, I’ve seen them at their Las Vegas store & it is beyond beautiful in person! It was actually in the same color (Blue Izmir) as the one she has, I wonder if she’s the one who brought it.
Oh that’s good to know! From what I could find, one with diamonds has never been resold online–there aren’t even any pictures of ones with diamonds on Google Image. I bet she was the one who picked up the bag you saw.
A client of mine consigned a 35cm Himalayan Birkin that she got in Paris in 2015. She wanted a reserve of $110,000 put on it. Little did she know she left the receipt inside the zipper pocket inside. She paid €48,000. The auction prices for Hermes exotic bags are grossly inflated. Especially if the cperson consigning them is a preferred client at Hermes.
Am I the only one who hates the look of exotics? Such a high price for a (in my opinion) tacky material range.
I can’t stand the look or feel of them.
tacky and gross collection. Exotics don’t appeal to me at so many levels but on her “look at me. I am dripping money!” look it is disgusting at a whole new level.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, a bit tacky the way she is displaying her newfound wealth.
Correct. It is ridiculous. This is typical of someone who is just interested in spending money just because she has access. The reptile bags are ugly as hell, but because she was told that they are exclusive, feels the need to waste money.
Yes. Her life seems to center around showing off the most expensive stuff for the sake of flaunting wealth.
Right. Steve is just happy to have her and allow her to waste money. He treated his ex wives like shit.
I Agree 100%.
I’m kind of surprised at all the vitriol here… (????) This is a website that celebrates bags and the celebrities/individuals who love them. I don’t like all of her bags (I have DREAMED of a crocodile Hermes identical to the one Olivia Palermo carries), but carrying expensive bags IS displaying your wealth, your style, your individuality, your whatever. The Real Housewives, Kardashians, VS models, et. al don’t carry Chanel through the airport, Birkins and YSL to show how frugal they are…
Her style is a bit OTT to me, but its no more tacky than Instagram bloggers or Kim Zolciak.
I completely agree
Agreed. And I prefer Marjorie’s style over Kim Zolciak’s.
Olivia P’s burgundy croc(k) “Birkin” is fake so sometimes it’s about displaying wealth that one doesn’t quite have. Carrying fakes says a lot about what she’s trying to prove.
I think Marjorie is a little over the top but if she can get these bags and she obviously loves them, I hope they give her a ton of enjoyment!
And she’s rich! She can do and buy what she wants which lost of us wish we could do! / she always looks great to me.
TRUE ❤️🙏
Her husband us rich.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Aka so Is she…
Not. As long as she is married to country Steve,she can live the life of a rich woman. She also has no integrity, as she is only interested in the baller life from any means possible including dealing with a low life drug slinging ex husband.
Girl they’ve been married like 20 plus years and have tons of kids! Most gold diggers get what they need and peace out. Clearly this is more
They’ve actually been married 11.5 years now and they have no biological children together. Doesn’t really matter but ijs.
Bags aside, she’s got some beautiful outfits.
Wos Steve makes way too much money for what he does.(as do all celebrities I suppose) Conspicuous consumption.
Let’s hope she’s not robbed next.. celebs need to be way more careful these days..
Some of her bags are gorgeous…. I have a nice handbag collection for my price point… In my lifetime, I know I have spent over $100,000 on my bags and if I had her money… I might have many of the bags she is carrying… I’m not a Chanel fan, so I’d leave most of them in the store… and I’m not a big fan of the LV bags she selected, but for the most part her bags are beautiful. I think most handbag lovers might develop a favored designer over time, and maybe hers is Hermes; mine happens to be Prada.. I love their soft calf leathers… and their pebbled leather is beautiful too… I have to say, I love my bags! Now some people might think $2,000 is ridiculous for a bag.. and it might be for them… For me, it’s a special treat, and I don’t take it lightly. For someone with her money,,, it might be the same as one of us on here spending $2,000. I know this is going to sound bad, but I don’t think the money she has spent on her bags is bad, considering how much money they have. Don’t hate… appreciate!
She is the prime example of someone who has all the money in the world and absolutely no style or taste. She looks like she is trying too hard in every single outfit she has on…she even makes these beautiful bags look tacky.
lipstick on a pig
I don’t like her look but pig seems a bit harsh.
I agree that this flaunting of wealth is over the top. I see bankruptcy in Steve Harvey’s’ future or an unfortunate Kim k. Incident. However, saying “lipstick on a pig ” is gross and perhaps racially motivated. Mrs Harvey is a pretty woman and Takes very good care of herself. I don’t agree with this obsession with flaunting wealth when so many are suffering now. I also don’t like the use of croc skins .When The K’s do it or others it’s celebrated but for this woman to do it “it’s lipstick on a pig” . Also what does carrying an ancient Hermes bag or LV or any of the other old & deceased designer bags have to do with age or body shape? One thing we can thank Trump for is he brought the closet racists out of the closet.
SorryJH, I meant this response to Daria.
I don’t know who she is but she looks a little bit ridiculous her style don’t go with her age or body shape. It looks like she really try hard to show or prove something. I like some of her bags but definetly no my style.
Mrs. Harvey is one classy lady and looks great in her style, everyone has the right to their own opinion, howeve I find individuals hate when they can’t afford the lifestyle of others. Love her bags and her own style.
People stop stop stop with the negative comments!
I am with you on that one, Margorie Harvey has a great taste and an amazing since of Style! But Hater gonna Hate!
Every time there’s a post about Mrs. Harvey, the commenters are always harsh and unrelenting. This is a blog about purses…the owners pay good money to get pictures of them. Let the less judgmental among us enjoy them in peace!
Also, if someone you are not personally familiar with can inspire such viciousness, I shudder to think about how you treat your intimates.
I don’t think that Kelly Cut in 13 is Pave. Probably Guilloche hardware.
You have to enjoy life, spend your money anyway you choose to, wear anything that makes you comfortable.
How many animals had to be skinned to make her these bags? smh
Gurl you know you are in purse blog right?
What’s with all the hate? Where is the love? ??Personally, I LOVED her collection of exotics and rare bags. ????#PurseGoals. ?? I am still waiting for the We Did the Math list for Salma Hayek, Debra Lee, and La La Anthony. Come On, Purse Blog! What’s taking so long? ????
MJ bags Screams at me, cute look fun time…
Marjorie has been used to high everything since her teen years. She doesn’t know what it is to buy cheap. PLUS she makes her own money with her hand bag line, her net worth they say is 90 million. I would buy whatever I wanted too.
