Jacob Elordi's Epic Handbag Collection Is Giving Me Sleepless Nights
There are a lot of celebrity wardrobes that I would love to raid. I'd dip into Dua Lipa's for extravagant eveningwear, I'd steal all of Zöe Kravitz's shoes in a heartbeat, and I'd be honoured to spend an afternoon browsing through the Olsens' personal collections. But, on the handbag front, there's only one person I'm desperate to pilfer from.
Before Saltburn, rising star (and Hollywood heartthrob) Jacob Elordi had already been a talking point amongst fashion editors for more than his acting credentials. Despite being caught in the whirlwind of box-office success and ever-growing media attention, the Australian-born star has maintained his enviably relaxed and laid-back style—all whilst developing an eye for excellent accessories. His favourite? An eye-catching designer bag.
With a sense of style that is quickly cementing him as one to watch on the celeb-style front, Elordi wears his designer bags as any editor would—with everything. Having curated a collection of capsule-wardrobe staples including straight-leg jeans, roomy jumpers and casual trainers, the actor will finish any casual ensemble with one of the most covetable bags on the market, creating a dynamic outfit that balances timeless style with standout accessoriees.
Favouring cult buys and other hot designer styles, Elordi knows a thing or two about what makes a great handbag. With a collection including the covetable Bottega Veneta Medium Andiamo (£3500), a sunshine-yellow Louis Vuitton Speedy P9 Bandoulière 40 Bag (£8200) and a burgundy Valentino Locò Leather Shoulder Bag
(£2050), the actor favours arm candy in vibrant colours or those that employ interesting techniques.
A regular at Milan, Paris and New York Fashion Week, he's clearly gleaned insider knowledge about the emerging and established designer styles worth investing in—making his picks a natural starting point for new-season bag inspiration.
Whilst Elordi opts for trending designer buys, he often favours a wearable bag silhouette, reaching for everything from roomy totes to compact shoulder bags and handy crossbodies to style with his daily rotation.
If, like me, your wish list has just been topped up with some Elordi-approved bags, read on to discover the styles he's carrying this season.
