How does Jacob Elordi democratize men’s handbags?

Jacob Elordi and his bags: a passionate fashion story

While every it-girl obviously has her own collection of it-bags, it is clear that men still prefer to stuff everything they need in their trouser pockets. As impractical as it was (forcing them to ask their spouses to carry most of their belongings), the rule seemed golden: if you’re a man, you won’t carry a purse.

This is why Jacob Elordi, revealed by the HBO series Euphoria in 2019, has been causing a sensation for some time with his looks punctuated with accessories. The first time, in 2020, he walks alongside his girlfriend at the time Zendaya, a Baguette Fendi bag around his chest; But the press and the public assume that he is only carrying the belongings of his sweetheart, and comment on this look as “too cute” or call him a “gentleman”.

What was their surprise when the 26-year-old Australian actor reappeared alone, a few months later, at a Fendi party, with another Baguette bag.

Not only does he own two of them, but he also wears them! This first fashion statement , taking advantage of the aura of the Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw who made this bag an iconic and essential it-bag at the end of the 90s, marks the debut of Jacob Elordi as the new it-boy of his generation.

Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Céline, Chanel, Louis Vuitton… Jacob Elordi’s crazy bag collection

Since then, the actor has punctuated each of his appearances with new additions to his leather goods collection, which would make all fashion enthusiasts tremble.

Jacob Elordi strolls the streets of Los Angeles with a matcha in his hand and an Andiamo bag by Bottega Veneta on his wrist; walks through New York with a small monogrammed Celine bag or a large tote bag in soft leather from the same house; a mini Locò bag by Valentino under the arm in Milan or at the Bottega Veneta show while wearing the house’s cassette bag, which customers snap up. In short, all the trendy it-bags of the moment, Jacob Elordi has them, wears them, and, above all, causes a sensation with them.

The proof was recently during his visit to Venice at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, to present Sofia Coppola’s new film, Priscilla, in which he plays Elvis Presley. An appearance marked, as soon as it arrived at the city’s port, by the Louis Vuitton Keepall bag, updated in a chick yellow version by Pharrell Williams during his first Louis Vuitton show last June.

That same evening, he wore a delicate little black Chanel quilted bag, the final touch to his shirt-and-pants look, which is very simple, but which becomes very fashionable thanks to this accessory.
