How did Jacob Elordi make handbags for men trendy?
For the past few years, Jacob Elordi has been causing a stir online. The Euphoria star got noticed not only for his roles and remarkable appearances at international film festivals, but also for his handbags. A Fendi baguette bag, Chanel clutch, Burberry or Bottega cross-body, when it comes to fashion, the Australian actor seems to have more than one trick up his sleeve.

Jacob Elordi and bags, a story of passion and fashion
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 pockets. As inconvenient as it was, the rule seemed golden — a “real” man doesn’t carry a purse. Even if, you have to ask your partner to carry most of your belongings for you…
This is why actor Jacob Elordi, revealed by the HBO series Euphoria in 2019, has been making a splash for some time with his accessorized looks. In 2020, he was walking around with his then girlfriend Zendaya, holding a Baguette Fendi bag around his chest. Yet, the press and people in general assumed he was only carrying the bag of his sweetheart. They commented, “too cute” and called him a “gentleman”.
What was their surprise when the Australian actor reappeared alone 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 Carrie Bradshaw, the character in Sex and the City character 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 Euphoria star 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, Jacob Elordi has all the trendiest handbags of the moment and makes waves wearing 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 in 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.
