25 stylish designer bags carried by our favourite local celebs
Rebecca Lim: Louis Vuitton Coussin
image

Don’t want your ensemble to look too dull? Consider adding a splash of colour like the Louis Vuitton Coussin MM bag on Rebecca. Its embossed monogram is a subtle nod to the discreet branding trend that we’re loving right now.

Jeanette Aw: Alexander McQueen Curve bag
image

A strong and modern interpretation of the bucket bag, with details inspired by Alexander McQueen’s iconic harness silhouette, The Curve has a magnetic double flap closure. The adjustable shoulder strap means it can be worn crossbody or over the shoulder. And it comes in a delightful range of colours: tan, tea rose, lime, coral, yellow, black, denim, and soft ivory and black.

Alexander McQueen
Fann Wong: Valentino Roman Stud
image

Not all classic black leather bags are created equal. Fann’s small handle bag by Valentino is dotted with the luxury label’s famous metal studs, adding a tough and cool edge to the wearer’s look.

Tong Bing Yu: Longchamp Brioche
image

Cool colour combinations are all the rage right now, and a great way to try this trend is to style a mint green shoulder bag (like the Longchamp Brioche on Bing Yu above) with a royal purple form-fitting dress. The juxtaposition will make your OOTD look fresh and fab.

Denise Camillia Tan: Chanel Boy Chanel shoulder bag
image

This one’s an oldie but a goodie. Timeless style aside, the Boy Chanel is an investment-worthy piece especially because of its high resale value. We also love the fact that it looks more young and updated than the other flap bags from the house of Chanel.

Jayley Woo: Prada wicker and canvas handbag
image

Travelling abroad for a holiday might seem like a distant memory for us now but there’s nothing stopping us from adding a dose of holiday mood to our outfits. A wicker bag, for example, reminds us of a beach vacay in the Maldives.

Chen Yixin: Tory Burch T Monogram Jacquard bucket bag
image

On weekends, give your 9-to-5 bags a rest and reach for something more fun and playful like the T Monogram bucket bag by Tory Burch. Style it with a boyfriend shirt, straight jeans and sneakers, and you’re all set to enjoy your off days.

Instagram / @chxnyixin
Jasmine Sim: Louis Vuitton Twist MM
image

A taupe jumpsuit can look too military-meets-utilitarian. But Jasmine Sim, who won the Best Newcomer Award at the 2019 Star Awards, circumvented that by keeping the top portion of her jumpsuit unbuttoned and completing the look with this classic Louis Vuitton Twist bag in a brilliant hue. Be like her and wear chunky dad sneakers for an offbeat vibe.

Carrie Wong: Roger Vivier Miss Vivier Strass Buckle bag
image

Yes, there might be lesser parties to attend these days but hey, there’s nothing stopping you from glamming up your daily look. Go for the striking Miss Vivier Strass buckle bag above on the days when your style mantra dictates go big or go home.

Zoe Tay: Fendi Mon Tresor
image

The beauty of Fendi’s Mon Tresor mini bucket bag lies in its ability to transform from a top handle to a crossbody, giving you the freedom to carry it according to your mood and look of the day.

Eleanor Lee: Saint Laurent Le Maillon satchel
image

Not a fan of flashy bags? Go subtle and forever stylish with this black satchel from Saint Laurent. Its clean lines and minimalist structure combine to make it a trend transcending piece that we’ll gladly hold on to for the decades ahead.

Instagram / @eleanorleex
Joanne Peh: Dior Book Tote
image

Looking for a roomy bag? This Dior bag will definitely be up your alley. The bag comes in various colours and materials, but Joanne chose the Denim Blue Dior Oblique Embossed Calfskin, which goes with casual outfits and playful dresses.

Instagram / @joannepeh
Hong Ling: Balenciaga Classic Metallic Edge City
image

You really can’t go wrong with this Balenciaga bag, and Hong Ling knows it. It’s roomy, versatile and works with almost any outfit, even a modern cheongsam.

Instagram / @honglingg_
Rebecca Lim: Guirlande de Cartier
image

We absolutely love this structured shoulder bag in Cartier’s famed burgundy hue. It’s cute, sassy and playful. Just look at Rebecca Lim’s casual double denim look — with this piece carelessly slung over her shoulder, she looks cheeky, yet sophisticated. Take notes.

Aisyah Aziz: Gucci GG Psychedelic round shoulder bag
image

Part of Gucci’s ’70s-inspired collection, this iteration of the GG round shoulder bag is fun and bold, just like Aisyah. Don’t be daunted by the pink hue – it’s actually pretty versatile. The singer rocked hers with a relaxed suit.

Instagram / @aisyaah_aziz
Zoe Tay: Valentino VRing Shoulder Bag
image

It’s red, bold and bright — which is probably why Ah Jie Zoe Tay decided to carry this cheery number as an accompaniment to her striking red dress during Chinese New Year. This medium VRing shoulder bag, which was introduced by the Italian label during S/S’19, is a smart choice because not only is it roomy for such occasions (allowing the TV Queen to carry more than just mandarin oranges), it’s also an elegant and versatile piece that works for both the work week and the weekends.

Oon Shu An: Gucci matelassé shoulder bag
image

A bright, eye-catching bag can do wonders for a basic outfit. Just look at thespian Oon Shu An, whose simple t-shirt and tailored trousers combo was elevated a few notches by her Gucci matelassé bag. Featuring the brand’s iconic horsebit and interlocking G emblems, the boxy silhouette channels a more masculine effect, which you can contrast by wearing with a pair of fierce pointed heels, just like Shu An. However, if you’re having difficulty finding this model at the store, we suggest going for a similar silhouette in a GG Marmont instead.

Kimberly Wang: Loewe Small Horseshoe bag
image

Loewe Horseshoe bag in nappa calfskin, Wine, S$2700

Radio DJ and actress-host Kimberly Wang carries the wine-coloured horseshoe bag while dressed in a simple beige-coloured crop top and white wide-leg pants. A small pendant and demure earrings elevates the stylish look. This versatile bag will look great with most of your outfits and is perfect for everyday wear.

Fann Wong: Coach Parker
image

Coach Parker top handle in signature canvas with rivets, S$750

Fann Wong is known for her girlish flair, and this feminine Coach Parker tote accentuates that, especially as she’s paired the bag with a light and cheery colourblock dress. Featuring the brand’s signature C monogram and a tea rose turnlock closure, this classy leather bag has an interesting detail – polished rivets that can be played up when you wear this piece with studded boots. Otherwise, be like Fann and go with a sporty chic vibe: wear a flowy maxi dress and court sneaks. Weekend outfit, sorted.

Jeanette Aw: Fendi messenger bag
image

Jeanette Aw is known for her simple and pared down, yet elegant, style. Case in point: this ensemble of an unfussy white t-shirt worn with a black midi skirt and embellished sneakers. She rounds up the effortless look with a salmon-coloured Fendi messenger bag. The blush-pink shade adds a vibrant pop of colour to her monochrome outfit and yet remains in theme, thanks to the bag’s clean, simple lines.

Fatin Amira: Gucci Belt Bag
image

A belt bag is not just worn around the waist anymore. In street style, it’s slung across your chest, which honestly, makes it way easier to retrieve your belongings. Fatin has paired her with this casual outfit, as well as a white jumpsuit and looks stunning every single time.

Sheila Sim: Chanel Side-Packs
image

Chanel Side-Packs, lambskin, imitation pearls & gold-tone metal, S$11,380

Is Sheila Sim wearing body jewellery or a crossbody bag? Well, it’s both. Chanel’s unique Side-Packs, featuring gold crossbody chains and imitation pearls, are a quirky option for days when you can’t decide which of the two you like better. Plus, the quilted lambskin leather is classic Chanel. Wear with a jumpsuit to play up its graceful silhouette.

image

Bulgari Serpenti Forever flap cover, US$2,850

Joanne Peh jazzed up her monochrome outfit with this sassy handbag that added character to an otherwise safe look. Sporting metal chain straps and an edgy brass light gold-plated snake head closure (love the “eyes” in green malachite), this spacious front clasp bag is equal parts captivating and practical. Juxtapose its boxy look with an off-shoulder top, paired with a ruffled skirt.

The perforated flowers on this roomy tote bag are inspired by “sangallo” embroidery and gives it a romantic flair. The bag is perfect for He Ying Ying, who looks sweet in a bohemian-inspired two-piece outfit and a comfortable pair of white sneakers, which is a great casual and chic look for the weekend. Who says you have to sacrifice comfort for style?
