Handbags carried by rich women … on TV

Designer handbag Although rarely the focus of a hit TV show, costume designers know that a character’s purse can convey a more subtle and authentic lifestyle than any other detail. “I know my wallet very well because it’s like a woman’s accessory,” said executive Nicole Mosbacher (Connie Britton) with two different Louis Vuitton Neverfulls (one) instead of one. For her laptop, for the beach). And she equipped her newlywed Rachel Patton (Alex Daddario) with a green Goyard tote bag. This was a gift from her status-sensitive husband, who was flooded with online chatter among fans.

“Empire” went out of service over a year ago, but show costume designer Paolo Nieddu continues to window shop for its patriarch, Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson). Bags are central to showing the status of her character, and when summarizing the look of cookies, Nieddu seriously considered which bags a wealthy woman would carry and collect. One of his favorites? Classic Lady Dior top handle bag. “A woman having lunch and wearing a bouclé suit has this bag,” he said. The cookie style was always up, so Nidu chose to give her a dazzling platinum version.
