If you’re a regular BagThatStyle reader (or a Brit), you’re probably long familiar with these two ladies, but if you’ll allow us to indulge ourselves a bit, I’d appreciate it. I’ve become slightly fascinated with Petra Ecclestone Stunt, the 23-year-old handbag designer (really, she is) and new owner of the famous Spelling Mansion, and her 27-year-old sister Tamara Ecclestone, whose resumé seems to include going on lots of fabulous vacations with her boyfriend and wearing every dress Herve Leger has every made. The most important thing that you need to know about these two women, though, is that their handbag collections are absolutely sick.
The Ecclestones are relatively unknown on this side of the Atlantic, but these heiresses have quite the pedigree, not to mention the bank accounts to back it up in a way that Paris Hilton never could. Their father, Bernie Ecclestone, is CEO of Formula One racing and has a net worth estimated at $4.2 billion. Their mother, Bernie’s ex-wife Slavica, is a former model known mostly for her work with Armani (and for being a full foot taller than Bernie) and whose 2009 divorce settlement reportedly made her a billionaire as well. These girls have money to burn, and it looks like they’ve chosen to burn a significant amount of it on handbags, particularly those from Hermes. Petra even loves bags so much that she’s designing her own line of ulta-luxe clutches, which you can check out, along with some of the most lust-worthy bags in both their closets, after the jump.
In general, Petra likes to keep her Hermes bags neutral…
Meanwhile, Tamara prefers her Hermes a little bolder…
The two sisters do agree on a few things, though, including Celine as a Birkin-alternative…
And they both recognize the undeniable awesomeness of the Hermes Crocodile So Black Birkin (yowza!)…
When properly motivated, Petra can go for a bright Birkin as well…
When Petra gets sick of her Birkins, she often reaches for Balenciaga…
Tamara seems to be the bigger partier of the two; when she heads out at night, she reaches for clutches from Valentino and Christian Louboutin…
Petra, who now prefers her married name of Stunt to Ecclestone, has a fledgling line of clutches all her own under the moniker STARK.
This particular clutch, the STARK Fierce Minaudiere, retails for $3,447 – $4,789 at some Saks and Intermix locations.
