Luxury handbags have officially found a new home—and it’s football. From Hermès Birkins and Chanel Maxi Flaps to Louis Vuitton Keepalls, today’s biggest football stars are embracing designer bags as an essential part of their personal style.
Lionel Messi has been spotted carrying a Hermès Birkin reportedly worth close to $90,000, while players like Lamine Yamal, Jules Koundé, and Nick Woltemade continue to make luxury handbags a regular feature of their off-pitch looks.
What was once considered an unexpected accessory for footballers is quickly becoming the norm. As fashion and football grow closer than ever, the luxury handbag is no longer just a statement piece—it’s becoming part of the modern footballer’s uniform.
The question is no longer if football has entered its handbag era, but how far the trend will go.
