Since she burst on the scene in 2006 with her hit “SOS,” Rihanna has achieved worldwide success with her music, selling over 230 million records and singles, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time. She followed up “SOS” with chart topping singles like “We Found Love,” “Only Girl (In the World)” and “Umbrella,” and collaborated with the links of Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Eminem.
Her reach, however, has always extended beyond music.
In 2011, she released a best-selling fragrance and three years after that was named creative director of Puma. Last year, she launched her cosmetic company, Fenty Beauty, to wild success. Throughout her music and budding fashion careers, she’s also maintained a love of designer bags. From Louis Vuitton to Gucci to Celine, Rihanna’s history of carrying luxury brands is vast.
Here’s a look through this bondafide fashion icon’s bag accessible collection that you too can own, below.
The Louis Vuitton Alma
The Louis Vuitton Alma BB, seen here in Damier Brown, is the Alma’s smallest (and cutest) iteration. The bag traces its heritage back to 1934, and this version – while mini- holds more than you think. The adjustable strap means you can wear it as a crossbody whenever you like.
Gucci Ghost Tote
Featuring black leather and goldtone hardware, the Gucci Ghost tote comes from the brand’s Fall 2016 collaboration with “Gucci Ghost,” aka Trevor Andrew, a former Olympic snowboarder who stumbled onto an accidental fashion career when he cut a pair of holes in his Gucci bedsheets for a ghost costume idea and attracted not only a social media following but an invite from Gucci. The tote opens up to a tan suede lining and pairs an embossed “Gucci” logo with “Real,” above it in graffiti.
Prada Denim Tote
Denim, once a staple fabric for bags in the 90s, is making its way back again almost 20 years later. This Prada denim tote featuring the brand’s logo, denim handles and even an adjustable crossbody strap is perfect for traveling – Rihanna has been spotted with it several times at the airport.
Louis Vuitton Frank Gehry Twisted Box
This unusual Frank Gehry x Louis Vuitton Twisted Box comes in monogram coasted canvas, and features brass hardware, a leather top handle and a blue monogram leather interior. Famed architect Frank Gehry was one of six iconoclasts chosen as part of Louis Vuitton’s Celebrating Monogram project of 2013.
Gucci Soho
The Gucci Soho has remained one of the most popular bags since it made its debut in 2014, for both celebs and well, non-celebs, alike. This mini version features an embossed interlocking G, top zip closure, leather tassel and an interior pocket.
Dior Diorama Flap Bag
Dior‘s Diorama Wallet on Chain clutch comes with a “Cannage” design, a crest-shaped clasp, and a suede lining in an interior that includes several slots and one zipped pocket. The bag can be carried on your shoulder or as a crossbody. If you’re Rihanna though, you get to hang it around your neck.
Louis Vuitton Palm Springs
The popular and increasingly hard to find mini Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Monogram Mini features a body made of sturdy monogram coated canvas with a black calfskin trim and a front zipped pocket. The backpack is reinforced with strong cowhide leather including a top handle, and an adjustable and removable shoulder straps. The strap is a multi-positional strap for cross-body wear.
The Balenciaga Belt Bag
Fanny packs, bum bags, waist bags – whatever you call them, they’re very on trend these days. Rihanna loves her Balenciaga Souvenir belt bag, which is printed with an embroidered logo and coms with Parisian-inspired charms.
The Gucci Boston Bag
Gucci‘s “Boston Bag” is iconic, but this limited edition version features the interlocking “GG” logo at the front in the print of the U.S. flag. It also has goldtone hardware, dual rolled tpo handles and a zip closure on top.
The Celine Micro Luggage
The micro version of this classic Celine luggage tote is a Rihanna favorite and has all the good things the bigger Phoebe Philo-designed bag does, just in mini form. This structured tote features curved stitching, an exterior pocket, double handles and protective bottom feet.
