From Alexa Chung to Princess Diana, discover the celebrities who inspired designer bags.&nbsp;

The ultimate feat in being a fashion <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/french-girl-style-icons-brigitte-bardot-vintage-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">icon</a> is getting a bag named after you. Sure, being a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/13-iconic-designer-muse-relationships-in-fashion-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">muse</a> is fun, but a namesake <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/summer-it-bag-based-on-your-zodiac-sign-astrology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bag</a> that will live on past your time in the spotlight is the biggest honor. Brands like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gucci-cosmogonie-cruise-2023-collection-alessandro-michele" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/hermes-fall-winter-2022-runway-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herm</a><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/hermes-fall-winter-2022-runway-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&egrave;s</a> are best known for the bags named after celebrities. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/styling-tricks-to-learn-from-grace-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grace Kelly</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lana-del-rey-best-fashion-moments-grammys-lyrics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lana Del Rey</a>, here are some of the celebrities who have had a bag named after them.&nbsp;

The Herm&egrave;s Birkin, named after Jane Birkin&nbsp;

Fashionphile

The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hermes-birkin-everything-you-need-to-know-price" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herm&egrave;s Birkin bag</a> is the most sought-after bag in the fashion industry, with some versions of it selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. But the ultimate it-bag has very humble beginnings. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-dress-like-jane-birkin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jane Birkin</a> was sitting next to Jean-Louis Dumas (the Herm&egrave;s executive chairman at the time) on a flight, lamenting about how difficult it's been to find a bag that fits her needs as a young mother. Dumas designed the bag on the spot and named it after Birkin when it came to production.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Herm&egrave;s Kelly, named after Grace Kelly

Fashionphile 

Though very similar in looks to the Herm&egrave;s Birkin, the Kelly wasn't created with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/grace-kelly-style-inspiration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grace Kelly</a> specifically in mind. The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/paris-hilton-buys-hermes-kelly-bag-for-her-dog" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kelly bag</a> originated in the '30s but was renamed in the '50s when Grace Kelly was photographed concealing her pregnancy with the bag.

The Christian Dior Lady Dior, named after Princess Diana&nbsp;

Princess Diana 

Originally named the Chouchou bag, Dior renamed this quilted classic in 1996 after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/princess-diana-last-words" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Diana</a> was spotted with it. Legend has it, Lady Diana abandoned her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-fall-winter-2022-haute-couture-runway-photos-virginie-viard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> bags once she found out about <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/prince-charles-princess-diana-who-cheated-first-royal-marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prince Charles</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/prince-charles-camilla-parker-bowels-royals-scandal-diana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Camilla Parker-Bowles</a> as the interlocking C logo reminded her of them.&nbsp;

The Gucci Diana, named after Princess Diana

Princess Diana's athleisure look of choice was an oversized sweatshirt paired with biker shorts.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/photographer-reveals-princess-diana-hair-plastic-hairspray" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Diana</a>'s style was so iconic that she had more than one bag named after her. Nearly 20 years after Lady Di stepped out with the iconic bamboo handle tote, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/gucci-fall-winter-2022-adidas-collaboration-runway-photos-mfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a> brought the bag out of the archives and reimagined it for a 2021 release.&nbsp;

The Gucci Jackie 1961, named after Jackie Kennedy

Jackie Kennedy Onassis in orginal Gucci saddlebag in 1970.

Another reinvention from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/vintage-gucci-moments-jackie-kennedy-tom-ford" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci's archives</a> is the Jackie 1961 bag, named after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/history-behind-jackie-kennedy-pink-suit-chanel-jfk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jackie Kennedy</a>. The hobo-style bag was originally named the Fifties Constance, but when Kennedy started wearing it out in the '70s, it became the Jackie. Just like the Diana, Gucci Creative Director <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alessandro-michele-gucci-creative-director-harry-styles-jared-leto" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alessandro Michele</a> re-designed this bag with a modern twist.&nbsp;

The Marc Jacobs Stam, named after Jessica Stam

1stDibs

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/marc-jacobs-heaven-cultural-zeitgeist-fashion-collections-trends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marc Jacobs</a> was so taken with model Jessica Stam that he named a bag after her. Debuting in 2005 the Stam became an immediate <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/celebrity-it-bags-fendi-coperni-ysl-prada-diesel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It bag</a> carried by everyone from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/beyonce-jay-z-net-worth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyonc&eacute;</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/lindsay-lohan-tabloids-scandal-timeline-mugshot-paparazzi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lindsay Lohan</a>. Though the bag is now retired and hasn't had its revival you can shop them on <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/celebrity-approved-vintage-thrift-stores-secondhand-wardrobe-day" target="_blank" rel="noopener">secondhand</a> sites for a fraction of the original price.&nbsp;

The Mulberry Alexa, named after Alexa Chung

Not unlike the Marc Jacobs Stam bag, the Alexa bag was the It Bag of the 2010s. Inspired by fashion icon <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexa-chung-next-in-fashion-designer-tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexa Chung's</a> street style (and her vintage Mulberry Elkington briefcase she was often pictured with) the Alexa bag was the perfect slouchy everyday bag. As seen on celebrities like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/blake-lively-postpartum-body-clothes-struggle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blake Lively</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/sarah-jessica-parker-auction-and-just-like-that-premiere-dress-for-unicef-ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarah Jessica Parker</a> (and even Blair Waldorf in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/everything-we-know-about-gossip-girl-season-2-release-date-trailer-details-spoilers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gossip Girl</a>) the bag quickly became a street-style staple.&nbsp;

The Mulberry Del Rey, named after Lana Del Rey

Another it girl that got their own Mulberry bag was <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/lana-del-rey-album-review-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lana Del Rey</a>. Creative Director at the time, Emma Hill, was such a fan of the singers "Video Games" music video that she designed a bag specifically for her, aptly named the Del Rey. While it came in many colorways when it was available, Del Rey's white ostrich version was made custom for her.&nbsp;

The Jason Wu Diane, named after Diane Kruger

Model-turned-actress,<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/diane-kruger-young-model-90s" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Diane Kruger</a>, served as inspiration for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/jason-wu-fall-2021-new-york-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Wu's</a> Diane bag. The sleek '70s style crossbody debuted in the designer's Spring/Summer 2015 runway collection.&nbsp;

The Louis Vuitton SC, named after Sofia Coppola&nbsp;

Unlike most of the other celebrities with bags named after them, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/sofia-coppola-marie-antoinette-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sofia Coppola</a> had a hand in designing her namesake bag. She collaborated with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/marc-jacobs-famous-friendships" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marc Jacobs</a>, the Creative Director at the time, to create the sophisticated SC bag in 2010, inspired by the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/louis-vuitton-pre-fall-2022-collection-summer-style-outfits-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louis Vuitton</a> Speedy and Keepall.&nbsp;

The Gabriela Hearst Nina, named after Nina Simone

Named after artist and activist <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/nina-simone-singer-quotes-jazz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nina Simone</a>, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/who-is-gabriela-hearst-chloe-new-creative-director" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gabriela Hearst</a> Nina became an instant It Bag. The unique round bag has been worn by celebrities such as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/meghan-markle-beauty-makeup-skincare-line-prince-harry-royal-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meghan Markle</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/gillian-anderson-interview-the-first-lady-eleanor-roosevelt-the-crown-margaret-thatcher" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gillian Anderson</a>.&nbsp;

The Gabriela Hearst Demi, named after Demi Moore

When <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/models-who-became-actresses-twiggy-sienna-miller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Demi Moore </a>asked Gabriela Hearst to make her a custom smaller version of the Nina bag to wear to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/7-fascinating-fascinators-from-princess-eugenie-wedding-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Eugenie's wedding</a>, she obliged, even going so far as to name it after her.&nbsp;
