Victoria Beckham has sported three different Hermès Kelly bags in the past few weeks, according to Vogue. A couple of weeks ago, during Paris Fashion Week, she carried her Kelly unfastened, mirroring the open-bag trend seen on the runways of brands from Dior to Loewe. Then, on a visit to New York earlier this week, the fashion designer accessorized her sleek all-black ensemble with a decidedly closed black Kelly en Désordre. And the day after, she appeared with a flopped-open Tri-Color Kelly Sellier 32.
Beckham is not the only star who’s been pulling from their designer-purse collection lately. Timothée Chalamet made headlines earlier this year when he twice stepped out wearing a mini Chanel handbag. First, W reported, the actor and chaotic-style icon paired a mini blue Chanel bag with a giant NFL-branded bomber jacket. Next per W again, he tried a silver Chanel bag with a pink Telfar jacket. Now, nine months later, Vogue reports, he has significantly upped the ante — but lowered the chaos — with a diminutive orange Hermès Kelly bag worn crossbody with an otherwise neutral outfit.
Any Hermès bag is of course a flex, but influential businesswoman Nita Ambani chose a particularly flashy mini Birkin for a Diwali celebration, per the Hindustan Times. Known as the Sac Bijou, the design is encrusted with diamonds and costs roughly $2 million. Only the original Birkin, recently sold at auction for $10.1 million, can blow that figure out of the water.
