It’s time to bag yourself a purse with star appeal.
Luxury handbags have become a mainstay in celebrity and royal fashion over the years, with famous faces like Jennifer Lopez, Hailey Bieber, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle carrying the latest must-have styles from designers like Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton.
From Princess Diana’s elegant Lady Dior bag to Kim Kardashian’s Judith Lieber alien minaudière, these statement pieces can elevate even the most casual outfit.
Whether your style is more classic and chic like Kate Middleton or of-the-moment trendy like Hailey Bieber, there’s certain to be a designer bag that fits your personality.
