In an era where celebrity style is no longer just about what’s worn, but what’s collected, handbags have become the ultimate marker of taste, access, and individuality. From Peggy Gou’s off-beat, archive-worthy finds to Elsa Hosk’s stealth-wealth statements and Shay Mitchell’s ever-evolving rotation of rare, unexpected silhouettes, celebrity handbag collections are offering a new kind of fashion inspiration that goes beyond the seasonal “It” bag.
This season, it’s about the pieces that stop you mid-scroll: the limited editions, the cult designs, the under-the-radar brands and the archival gems quietly entering A-list wardrobes. The bags celebrities are carrying right now feel more personal, more playful, and in many cases, almost impossible to get.
Peggy Gou
What makes Peggy’s rotation so compelling isn’t just rarity, but the way she wears these bags as extensions of her creative persona and when it comes to handbags, her collection feels more like a carefully curated archive of cool. The DJ and style icon has long made a habit of subverting expectations — whether she’s mixing vintage Margiela with streetwear or pairing cult-classic silhouettes with bold, expressive outfits. Her closet reads like a lesson in personality over predictability: rare Loewe pieces, sculptural Bottega Veneta that defy utilitarian logic, and vintage treasures that feel selected with as much intention as her record drops.
Deepika Padukone
While Deepika Padukone is renowned for her effortless blend of Bollywood glamour and international high fashion, her handbag collection reveals a refined sensibility that’s quietly covetable. Eschewing purely loud logos, Deepika’s rotation often balances timeless elegance with unexpected twists — think rare Hermès classics reimagined with contemporary styling, sculptural miniatures from emerging ateliers, and pieces that feel simultaneously luxurious and beautifully personal.
What sets Deepika apart is how she anchors high-end pieces with a grounded sense of wearability. There’s a sense of quiet confidence in her bag choices that doesn’t scream for attention. Deepika’s collection is a reminder that subtlety can be just as powerful.
LaLisa Manoban
Lisa’s handbag collection is a high-voltage fusion of rock-n-roll edge and refined Parisian classicism. As a global cultural disruptor and the definitive face of Louis Vuitton, Lisa’s relationship with accessories is one of “curated rebellion”. Her collection is defined by a “tactile richness.” She gravitates toward textures that pop against the flash of a concert stage or the grain of a film camera: exotic leathers, high-shine patents, and the iconic Triomphe canvas. Yet, she often humanizes these “it-bags” with a signature touch of kitsch—fastening a Labubu plush or a whimsical charm to a five-figure Hermès Kelly, a move that perfectly encapsulates her Gen-Z luxury philosophy: nothing is too precious to be playful.
In 2026, her style continues to champion the “New Vintage” aesthetic. She has a singular gift for making a bag look like it has been part of her story for decades, whether it’s a rare archival find or a brand-new runway piece.
Elsa Hosk
Elsa Hosk’s handbag collection is like a seamless extension of her personal style: effortlessly elevated, quietly sexy, and unapologetically modern. Known for her model-off-duty cool, Elsa approaches accessories with the same intuitive clarity, favouring bags that feel equally at home on a Paris street or a laid-back brunch in Los Angeles.
What makes Elsa’s rotation so compelling is her eye for shape and proportion. She gravitates toward pieces that ground an outfit rather than overpower it, letting craftsmanship and silhouette speak louder than overt branding. Yet there’s a playful twist tucked within her collection too with unexpected colour pops, vintage shapes reworked with contemporary energy, and covetable pieces that hint at both heritage luxury and personal discovery.
Princess Diana
Long before celebrity handbag collections became a cultural obsession, Princess Diana was quietly defining what it meant to carry a bag with meaning. Her choices went far beyond trends and each handbag became part of a visual language that blended elegance, relatability, and subtle rebellion. From her beloved structured top-handle bags to the now-iconic Dior pieces that would later be nicknamed the “Lady Dior” in her honour, Diana’s collection helped cement the idea of the handbag as both a personal and cultural symbol.
What made Diana’s handbag moments so enduring was their emotional intelligence. She often used clutches as a shield from intrusive cameras, top-handle styles to soften power dressing, and refined mini bags to punctuate her off-duty looks. Decades later, her influence remains unmistakable. Contemporary celebrity collections still echo her style codes.
Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt’s handbag collection is a seamless blend of high-octane global glamour and a grounded, relatable sensibility. Much like her cinematic trajectory, her approach to accessories has evolved from playful experimentation to a refined, curated aesthetic that values architectural integrity as much as heritage prestige.
What defines Alia’s rotation is her ability to bridge the gap between monumental luxury and utilitarian ease.
Her collection is anchored by structured silhouettes that provide a sharp counterpoint to her often soft, fluid wardrobe. She has a penchant for “investment pieces” that carry an air of permanence—bags that feel like heirlooms in the making. Yet, there is a distinct youthful irreverence found in her smaller, off-duty pieces: unexpected pops of citrus yellow, quirky dual-strapped silhouettes, and textures that invite touch. Her collection feels deeply personal, balancing the curated precision of a global ambassador with the spontaneous, spirited energy of a modern-day icon.
Shay Mitchell
She has famously mastered the art of the “Mary Poppins” bag, often seen carrying a vintage blue-gray Hermès Birkin that she treats less like a fragile artifact and more like a tactical survival kit, stuffed with everything from emergency hot sauce to children’s snacks and multiple chargers. Her collection thrives on dynamic contrasts. She pivots effortlessly from the structured, “loud luxury” of Louis Vuitton and Chanel at Paris Fashion Week to the earthy, organic textures of her own BÉIS High Line hemp collection. There is a signature “traveler’s wit” in her choices—whether it’s a Celine Cabas Thais tote for a beach day or a limited-edition
BÉIS x Chipotle charm that adds a playful, self-aware wink to her professional persona.
