Rarely do celebrities carry their own bag designs. Usually it only happens when a star has their own high-end line, like Victoria Beckham or Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, or when a star does a one-off collaboration with a designer, like Selena Gomez’s recent work with Coach. If the bags are too, shall we say, accessibly priced, the celebs in question usually don’t usually tend to carry them in public very much. This week, we have two very high-profile exceptions to that rule, in addition to a half-dozen instances of our usual bagspotting.
