While it is to be expected that there will be a lot of high-end luxury handbags on the arms of celebrities, there are some celebs who take their handbag game beyond the predictable astronomically-priced investment bags. These celebrities seem to be able to balance the ever-changing nature of the fashion and accessories market with a heavy dose of personal style, a respect for the classics, and a bit of irreverence when the time is right. Here are two of our favourite handbag-loving celebrities for 2014, offering you a little something from both ends of the spectrum.
Solange Knowles
Sure, Beyonce’s sister has been in the news lately for “that outburst” at the Met Gala, but don’t let that one incident cloud your good judgement; Solange has a colourful, unique style that translates directly into her handbag choices. She was spotted at Mercedes-Benz fashion week wearing a very on-trend-for-fall orange and cobalt blue ensemble accessorized with a cobalt blue shaggy oversized clutch by Milly; very on-trend, practical, and most of all covetable.
Lauren Conrad
Lauren Conrad loves a Chanel bag. And when we say love, we really, really mean it. Ms. Conrad has a version of a classic Chanel quilted flap bag in just about every colour, so deep is her love for the classic style. It is rare that you will see her photographed on the red carpet without it; the classic styling and unobtrusive chain handle make the look an excellent choice for evening without losing the practicality of a larger shoulder bag.
