Celebrities pay keen attention to the bags they carry, wearing them as a form of expression of their personalities. A luxurious handbag has the power to seal a place for celebs on the best dressed list. The expensive handbags celebrities carry set trends worldwide. Celebrities sometimes can make a handbag so popular just by carrying it that brands decide to name their bags after the stars. For example, The Modalu Pippa Satchel was named after Pippa Middleton, as the English socialite carried it very often. Grace Kelly carried the Hermès Kelly Bag before it was famous and Hermès named the Kelly bag after her. Let’s check out what brands the loyalties of our fashion savvy celebrities lie with.
