The "Emma" bag

Blake Lively and Kooba's "Blake" bag


Jane Birkin and Hermes "Birkin" bag







Jessica Stam and Marc Jacobs "Stam" bag






Alexa Chung and Mulberry's "Alexa" bag


Here is a selection of celebrities who have all had bags named after them
I am posting this because I saw a picture of Alexa with her "Alexa" bag which i am so in love with right now
But I actually thought it's like Alexa in bag form if you know what i mean
A little bit vintage looking, rough around the edges, not perfect but nonetheless, it's a beautiful bag
I honestly believe when the designer at Mulberry was creating this they were using her as a muse and basing every detail on her style and personality
But sometimes I just think that a name is put on a bag to garner publicity for it
which i think is a shame as to me i personally feel it would be such an honour and privilege for a designer to use you as there muse and name a handbag after you
Which got me thinking based on my style and personality what kind of bag would be named after me
As much as i would love to say a Chanel bag
i just don't think I'm a classic "Chanel girl" (pre lily Allen, that is)
I would say I'm more of a miu miu quirky with a little bit laid back Marc Jacobs and kinda ethereal Chloe
all mixed together
The colour would be maybe navy or charcoal grey or tan something kinda classic to counteract the modern style
Although i think the lining would be fun and patterned
It would have Lot's of different compartments as there are so many different aspects to my style and personality
And I think it would have a vintage feel and look to show my love for all things 60's and 70's
Overall I would hope it would be a modern and new take on a classic design it would be durable and it would be a forever piece!
So that's my dream "Emma" handbag
If a handbag was named after you what would it be like?
