Would You Wear a Hermès Bag to Coachella?

As the dust settles post-Coachella, the echoes of music fade, but the standout fashion moments linger. Among the sea of eclectic ensembles that graced the Colorado Desert, one accessory stole the show – handbags.

Of course, a handbag is a festival essential – after all, where else would you secure your phone and hand sanitizer? However, opting for a luxury handbag at a music festival is an entirely different narrative. While some may go for a touch of luxe, others prioritize practicality with less valuable accessories. Yet, some go all out, and we’re here for it.
