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 collection. But, on the handbag front, there’s only one person I’m desperate to pilfer from.
Rising actor (and Hollywood heartthrob), Jacob Elordi had been a talking point amongst fashion editors for more than his acting credentials. Despite being caught in the maelstrom of box office success and ever-growing media attention, the Australian-born star has maintained his enviably relaxed and laid-back style—all the while developing an eye for excellent accessories. His favourite of which is an eye-catching handbag.
That’s right, Elordi is single-handedly making the case for the practical (and stylish) accessory in 2024. With a sense of style that quickly cemented him as a modern fashion icon, Elordi styles 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 layer any casual ensemble with one of the most covetable bags on the market, creating a dynamic outfit that balances timeless style with emerging trends.
Favouring cult-buys and designer heroes, Elordi knows a thing or two about what makes a great handbag. With a collection including the covetable Bottega Veneta Andiamo bag (£3500), a sunshine yellow Louis Vuitton Speedy P9 Bandoulière 40 Bag (£8200) and a burgundy Valentino Locò Leather Shoulder Bag (£2050), the actor favours bags in vibrant colours or those that employ interesting techniques.
A regular and Milan, Paris and New York Fashion Week, he’s gleaned insider knowledge about the emerging and established designer styles worth investing in—making him a natural starting point for new-season wardrobe 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 draping crossbodies to style with his daily rotation.
If, like me, your wish list has just been topped up with some Elordi-approved items, read on to discover the bags that he’s carrying this season.
