Korean celebrities are a source of fashion inspiration, no doubt. From their flashy stage costumes to their highly curated looks on red carpets, we’ve been heavily influenced by many of their stylish outfits. Now, we’re shining the spotlight on their off-duty looks—specifically their bags. If you’re looking to expand your designer bag collection, then keep scrolling to find out what bags the most popular K-celebs are obsessed with currently.
Lisa: Louis Vuitton Capushell Mini, $9,450
Louis Vuitton ambassador Lisa has taken a liking to the Capushell Mini, with its white to pink gradient and iridescent pigments, and the curves on the bottom that are all too reminiscent of a seashell. It’s the perfect bag for your European getaway in the spring or summer, especially when you’re dressed in a flowy white dress or skirt à la Lalisa.
Han So Hee: Dior Book Tote in Small, $4,900
Han So Hee puts a darling twist on the popular Dior Book Tote by customising it with her own keychains. While the tote looks sophisticated when worn on the crook of the elbow, try a different vibe by attaching the sling strap and wearing it as a crossbody bag, and inject a little playfulness by embellishing it with a couple of your favourite plushies like the actress did.

Jennie: Coperni Denim Mini Heart Tote Bag, about $547
No words are needed for this style icon, because whatever BLACKPINK’s Jennie wears, the item becomes an instant must-have in our closet.

Danielle: CELINE Teen Nino Bag In Patent Calfskin White Cotton, $4,550
Danielle’s adorable style is complete only with the CELINE Teen Nino Bag. Youthful and classy, the white bag is embellished with the brand’s signature Triomphe hardware clasp, and comes with a top handle. Best of all, it can be carried in three ways—via the top handle, on the shoulders, and last but not least, across the body, as seen on the NewJeans member.
Rosé: Saint Laurent Voltaire in Box in black, $2,990
Decked out in an all-black ensemble, Rosé exudes it-girl energy in her sunnies, LBD, and her Voltaire in Box bag from Saint Laurent. The bag is stylishly minimal with the YSL Cassandre closure, making it a great addition to any outfit. While it comes with a detachable strap, you may want to take a tip from the BLACKPINK member and let it rest on the crook of your arm—very demure, very cutesy.
