We have a really excellent line-up of handbag selections this week from a much broader variety of labels (and celebrities ) que de costumbre. I’m always ecstatic when these roundups aren’t absolutely dominated by the same three brands as always: Givenchy, Hermès and Chanel. Admittedly, there are a couple of Chanel bags in here, but they’re a lot more interesting than your run of the mill fla[s. (Has anything Chanel ever been described as “run of the mill?” FIRST. I regret nothing.)
Alessandra Ambrosio
Fendi petite 2Jours
$2,045 by means of MATCHESFASHION.COM
Here’s Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, picking up some pastries at a bakery in LA. (No word on what she plans to make with the decadent baked goods.) Strangely enough, her Fendi petite 2Jours is one of the older bags featured in this celebrity round-up. Or the “most classic”, shall we say?
Ashley Greene
Alexander McQueen legend Bag
$2,195 by means of Saks
Actress Ashley Greene was recently identified grocery shopping at Bristol Farms in LA (the only proper locale for LA celebs to grocery shop, besides whole Foods), carrying a bag that can’t be a lot more than three months old: the Alexander McQueen legend Bolsa. This bag just made its debut back in December in Alexander McQueen’s resort 2015 collection, and you can find out a lot more about it in Megs’ initial write-up.
Chloe Moretz
Chanel Quilted Minaudiere
Oh, to be Chanel’s preferred 18 year old starlet. (And Dior’s, too, to boot!) Such is the life of Chloe Moretz. here she is whizzing through LAX on her way to the final days of Paris fashion Week with a tattooed chum and a dainty, sparkly little Chanel.
Emma Roberts
Jason Wu Daphne Bag
$1,995 by means of ShopBop
Emma Roberts’ bag choices are always interesting, and she seems to be readily available to paps on any day that ends with “Y”, so we’re normally able to keep tabs on what her current handbag of choice is at any given moment. here she is carrying a bright red Jason Wu Daphne while shopping at The Grove in West Hollywood. The Daphne was very popular around this same time back in 2014, and Megs noted that it seemed to be the bag of choice amongst the trendsetting fashionistas of last year’s NYFW in this post.
Jessica Alba
Kenzo Kalifornia Tote
$990 by means of ShopBop
Here’s Jessica Alba coming to LAX with a chic baby blue Kenzo Kalifornia Tote, which (it must be noted) retails for under a grand, and under $500 in other (smaller) variations. Jessica is ridiculously good about carrying bags from a broad variety of pricepoints. It’s nearly like she has a secret bag-selling agenda.
Kate Upton
Rag & Bone tiny Enfield Bag
$495 by means of Saks
Kate Upton was recently identified leaving The Largo at the Coronet in West Hollywood with a cute white rag & Bone mini. Kate normally prefers oversized Céline totes, so this is a great change of pace for her.
Khloe Kardashian
Chanel Graffiti Backpack
Here’s Khloé Kardashian, leaving a jewelry store in Beverly Hills. It need to be great to throw down a cool five figures on some new jewelry, throw it in your Chanel backpack and head out to your souped up range Rover. (I have absolutely no proof that Khloé made such a purchase; one just assumes this is how the Kardashians roll.)
Lily James
Alexander McQueen legend Bag
$2,195 by means of Saks
We’ve come (almost) full circle: Lily James is seen here leaving the Trump hotel in nyc with her own Alexander McQueen legend Bag, which is now officially a bag on the rise, as of this week. Lily is still on the press trail to promote her flick, Disney’s live-action version of Cinderella.
