The Many Bags of Nicky Hilton

Brace yourself, kids: Nicky Hilton’s bag collection is about to make your head explode. You should probably ask friends and loved ones to move out of your immediate vicinity, lest they get any on them. If you don’t heed that warning, well, it’s not my fault. None of this is my fault. It’s all Ms. Hilton’s. I’m just a middle man. And I know what you’re thinking: Nicky Hilton? YES, THAT WAS MY REACTION TOO. I share in your incredulity.

Now that you’re all properly prepared like front-row attendees at a Gallagher show in the 70s, we can begin. Nicky Hilton has (and has been photographed with) basically every bag that’s been popular since I first became aware of designer handbags circa 2002. Every It Bag from the Chloe Paddington to the Celine Luggage Tote is represented here, plus a lot of other beautiful bags along the way. If you don’t believe me, I’ve got all the evidence you could ever need below.






 

The Louis Vuitton Cerises Speedy with the Louis Vuitton Multicolor Wallet and a Motorla RAZR cell phone – this photo perfectly captures a very particular moment in pop culture, doesn’t it? (Also, looks like a Balenciaga Pouch she’s buying at Kirna Zabete!) check out Satchi's Louis Vuitton Collection: http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/search/label/louis%20vuitton


Is that a Tom Ford-era Gucci Dragon Shoulder Bag on Nicky’s arm? Sure looks like it. Those are collector’s items now. Check out Satchi's Gucci Collection: http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/search/label/Gucci



Of course, no starlet from the era in which Nicky first became famous would be anything without her Balenciaga bags, and Nicky had plenty. This beautifully bright Balenciaga Twiggy Bag is a winner.

I remember wanting this exact Balenciaga City Bag in apple green SO BADLY in 2005. I still want one.

Ditto for this magenta Balenciaga City Bag. We have this in Rose Bonbon: http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/2013/04/brand-new-balenciaga-city-rose-bonbon.html

The legendary black-and-white-striped Balenciaga Damask Stripe City Bag? I’m straight back to lusting.

I don’t even remember this denim-and-leather Balenciaga City Bag ever being made, but apparently it was.


This light blue Balenciaga City Bag works perfectly with a floaty little dress.


The Balenciaga Day Bag was always my personal favorite, and it looks like Nicky occasionally switches out her City bags for it as well. 


You can tell that this beige Balenciaga City Bag has been well-loved.


Perhaps Nicky’s most-carried Balenciaga bag of all is this black City bag. 


If Nicky ever gets tired of her black City, she can always give her Balenciaga Giant Work Bag some love. We also have a Beautiful Orange Work: http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/2013/03/balenciaga-work-orange-09.html


If she needs even more space, this black Balenciaga Giant Brief Tote should work nicely. 


Between carrying all those Balenciagas, Nicky did occasionally find some time to carry this gorg Gucci Striped Bowler.

Sometimes Nicky carries smaller brands as well – she was a big fan of this Genevieve Jones Tree Bucket Bag.


The Alexander Wang Rocco Satchel is a favorite of celebs and regular folks alike. 


Another great, relatively affordable find from Nicky’s collection is the Diane von Furstenberg 440 Tote, which she carried to the DVF show at New York fashion Week.


Nicky also carried this Rebecca Minkoff Alaina Mini Bag to the designer’s show at New York Fashion Week.

This Rebecca Minkoff Oversized Leopard Covet Bag fulfills Nicky’s penchant for leopard print.


Let’s further explore the whole “leopard bag” thing for a minute.
Not only does Nicky have one from Rebecca Minkoff (plus the Valentino we showed you earlier),
but she’s also got an Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag in leopard. 

Sometimes the love for leopard bleeds into other parts of Nicky’s wardrobe;
this gorgeous Hermes Kelly makes a perfect accent.
Satchi's Exclusive Collection also have this Hermes Kelly :

In fact, I like Nicky’s Kelly so much that I think we should look at it again.
Where there’s a Kelly, there’s usually also an Hermes Birkin.

Nicky rounds out her collection of black Hermes bags with an Hermes Medor Clutch, often her choice for evening events.


In some ways, Nicky’s lineup of black Proenza Schouler bags mirrors her Hermes choices. This Proenza Schouler PS1 Pouchette takes the Medor’s spot.

We’ve already looked at Nicky’s love for the It Bags of yore, but based on her Proenza collection and this Celine Luggage Tote, it looks like her penchant for sought-after bags hasn’t changed a bit.

Nicky also has that bag’s little sister, the Celine Nano Luggage Tote.


One of the most beautiful bags in Nicky’s collection is her black-on-black Celine Trapeze Satchel.
Beautiful Royal Blue is available in our collection: http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/2013/03/celine-trapeze-medium-royal-blue.html


I’m always so perplexed by the Burberry Studded Satchel – I don’t remember exactly when it came out and I scarcely remember it being talked about when it was in stores, but nearly every famous woman in the country seems to have one in her closet somewhere. 


I do remember the debut of this Louis Vuitton Murakami MOCA Neverfull, though – it was a limited edition piece and is now a collector’s item.
Check out our Neverfull MM at http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/2013/04/brand-new-louis-vuitton-neverfull-mm.html


Nicky’s Louis Vuitton Carryall Bag is a little more common, but still lust-worthy for Vuitton fans. It’s a great travel piece.


Nicky might have a thing for French handbags in general; from Goyard, to Hermes, to Balenciaga, to this Dior Lady Dior Bag, the French are well-represented in her collection.
Beautiful Lady dior in Red is also available in our collection: http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/2013/03/lady-dior-red-lamb-large.html
Of course, we’ve saved some of the best French bags for last. Nicky’s love for Chanel extends back to her party days and this white Chanel Classic Flap.

Naturally, Nicky has the black version of the Chanel Classic Flap as well.
We also have the black Reissue: http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/2013/04/chanel-reissue-226-black-calf-ghw16.html


For evenings, his small textile version of the Chanel Classic Flap is a nice choice.


This chain-trimmed Chanel Quilted Bowler is a nice change-up from flap bags.


Nicky’s been using her Chanel Grand Shopping Tote in black for years.
Great Spacy Chanel GST in Black, Red, Beige and Dark Brown also available at our stock.
http://satchiauthenticbags.blogspot.com/2013/04/chanel-gst-black-shw-15.html


Nicky has been using this red Chanel Flap Bag for just as long – the variation in quilt size and flap shape from the Classic Flap is a nice touch that makes the bag unique.
