13 stylish designer bags carried by our favourite local celebs

If you're looking for something that's cool and retro, take a cue from Fann Wong herself and go for the Bamboo 1947 Medium Bag from Gucci. Distinguished by its unique curved bamboo handle, the bag makes for a statement piece that will complement your classy 'fits. There are also multiple ways of carrying it: in your hand or you can attach the straps and sling it as a crossbody.

Not all classic black leather bags are created equal. Rebecca's retro-inspired top-handle bag by Ferragamo boasts a special construction with an asymmetrical back that surrounds the accordion details and comes with golden-finish Gancini buckles, adding a tough and cool edge to the wearer's look.

Don't want your ensemble to look dull? Consider adding some texture to your look with a studded bag like this piece from Coach. The studs on the bag will instantly elevate your look and it exudes an edgy and rebellious vibe.

On weekends, give your 9-to-5 bags a rest and reach for something more fun and playful like the Medium Squeeze Bag by Loewe. Style it with a boyfriend shirt, straight jeans and sneakers, and you're all set to enjoy your off days.

This one's an oldie but a goodie. Timeless style aside, the Boy Chanel is an investment-worthy piece especially because of its high resale value. We also love the fact that it looks more young and updated than the other flap bags from the house of Chanel.

Travelling abroad for a holiday might seem like a distant memory for us now but there's nothing stopping us from adding a dose of holiday mood to our outfits. A wicker bag, for example, reminds us of a beach vacay in the Maldives.

Yes, there might be lesser parties to attend these days but hey, there's nothing stopping you from glamming up your daily look. Go for the striking Miss Vivier Strass buckle bag above on the days when your style mantra dictates go big or go home.

The beauty of Fendi's Mon Tresor mini bucket bag lies in its ability to transform from a top handle to a crossbody, giving you the freedom to carry it according to your mood and look of the day.

You really can't go wrong with this Balenciaga bag, and Hong Ling knows it. It's roomy, versatile and works with almost any outfit, even a modern cheongsam.

Part of Gucci's '70s-inspired collection, this iteration of the GG round shoulder bag is fun and bold, just like Aisyah. Don't be daunted by the pink hue – it's actually pretty versatile. The singer rocked hers with a relaxed suit.

It’s red, bold and bright — which is probably why Ah Jie Zoe Tay decided to carry this cheery number as an accompaniment to her striking red dress during Chinese New Year. This medium VRing shoulder bag, which was introduced by the Italian label during S/S’19, is a smart choice because not only is it roomy for such occasions (allowing the TV Queen to carry more than just mandarin oranges), it’s also an elegant and versatile piece that works for both the work week and the weekends.

A bright, eye-catching bag can do wonders for a basic outfit. Just look at thespian Oon Shu An, whose simple t-shirt and tailored trousers combo was elevated a few notches by her Gucci matelassé bag. Featuring the brand’s iconic horsebit and interlocking G emblems, the boxy silhouette channels a more masculine effect, which you can contrast by wearing with a pair of fierce pointed heels, just like Shu An. However, if you’re having difficulty finding this model at the store, we suggest going for a similar silhouette in a GG Marmont instead.

The perforated flowers on this roomy tote bag are inspired by "sangallo" embroidery and gives it a romantic flair. The bag is perfect for He Ying Ying, who looks sweet in a bohemian-inspired two-piece outfit and a comfortable pair of white sneakers, which is a great casual and chic look for the weekend. Who says you have to sacrifice comfort for style?
