While my husband finds himself engrossed in YouTube videos and educational podcasts, I personally prefer winding down with reality TV. The heart wants what it wants, and although I am aware that much of the reality TV I watch is not entirely based on reality, the drama created for the TV screen never fails to entertain me and provide a good laugh. It also feels like the perfect escape after a long day.
Although I don’t watch every Real Housewives series, I never miss an episode of the Beverly Hills spin-off. Each woman on the show is compelling in her own unique way, with many of their interactions being delightfully asinine yet funny. One thing that never fails is the impressive collection of bags that the cast carries. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the initial time we’re diving deep into the cast’s bag collection; it’s actually the third. With the cast changing and so do their bags, it’s fascinating to explore what the ladies from Bravo’s famed show have been carrying lately.
Below are some noteworthy mentions from the cast:
Kyle Richards In 2017, Kyle’s home was broken into and her Hermès collection was targeted, with all of her bags being stolen. Over the past few years, Richards has managed to rebuild her handbag collection, displaying a fondness for Hermès in various colors and sizes. She also has a penchant for other designer brands such as Chanel, and she even carried a fan-favorite under $1,000 Cult Gaia bag. Despite the many discussions about Kyle and her husband’s relationship status, her handbag collection remains a point of interest.
Dorit Kemsley Dorit has also had her share of unfortunate events after a break-in at her home with her young children present. Nevertheless, Dorit has displayed resilience and a profound love for high fashion. Her collection is quite diverse, encompassing a variety of design styles. She has a flair for going all out with themes; her bags are always meticulously matched.
Erika Jayne Erika’s style is best described as loud, strong, and proud, reflecting her persona. Some of her bags are not as easy to identify, which adds an element of mystery to her collection. It’s always a surprise with Erika, from her hairstyle on any given day to her choice of bags, making her one of the most intriguing personas on the show.
Garcelle Beauvais Garcelle was involved in a significant storyline after obtaining a Birkin bag, which is still referenced to this day. One notable aspect is how Garcelle acknowledges the steep price of Hermès bags, approaching fashion and designer items in a more realistic manner. Her authenticity and relatability bring a refreshing change to the group.
Sutton Strack Despite her small esophagus, Sutton is also quite a collector of handbags. While she doesn’t often post pictures of her vibrant Hermes collection, her closet is filled with candy-colored H bags. It’s refreshing to see her carry other brands as well, as she is not strictly loyal to a single brand.
Crystal Kung Minkoff Crystal’s introduction to the group hasn’t been entirely smooth. Her relatively passive demeanor often compels the group to encourage her to speak up, but her bag collection is deceptively impressive. Her collection may not be as loud or attention-grabbing as some of the others, but it harbors its own unique charm.
Annmarie Wiley Newcomer Annmarie Wiley has set foot in the group and became embroiled in a storyline involving the size of Sutton’s esophagus. This incident brought a whirlwind of events, true to the essence of reality TV. However, it is apparent that her heart truly lies with Chanel bags.
