Forget the £5K bags—this is the more budget-friendly brand that celebrities and industry insiders have favored for years.

      It’s revealing when women who have access to any designer bag choose something simpler and more accessible. That’s the allure of DeMellier. Amidst a plethora of Margauxs, Birkins, and Baguettes, this London-based brand has established a niche: bags that are equally well-crafted and worthy of investment, yet without the hefty price tag. Reese Witherspoon has recently been seen with a DeMellier, stepping out in Los Angeles carrying the Midi New York in black—an understated yet impactful bag. She styled it with her signature polished look, pairing a pinstripe shirt with a pencil skirt, underneath a cropped black jacket and finishing with classic slingback heels. But she isn’t the only one favoring this tote style. Katie Holmes has also been a quiet supporter of the brand, often seen with the same Midi New York in mocha suede, which complements her trench-and-tailored-trouser aesthetic effortlessly.

      The list of fans continues. Emily Blunt, Olivia Palermo, and Jessica Alba have all been spotted with DeMellier’s sleek, architectural designs, solidifying the brand’s presence both on the streets and at red carpet events. Each sighting reinforces a key message: these bags don’t require logos or elaborate displays to be noticed.

      This appeal goes beyond Hollywood and fashion influencers. The Princess of Wales has frequently turned to the brand’s Nano Montreal in both navy and toffee, adding a neat, structured touch to her tailored coats and feminine dresses. Meghan Markle has also shown support, opting for the now sold-out Mini Venice in forest green, which brings a touch of softness to her streamlined wardrobe with its tasselled detail. The choices of both women highlight the brand’s understated strength.

      What connects all of them isn’t just loyalty to a single design, but a shared appreciation for DeMellier’s blend of sophistication, versatility, and practicality. For women who could select any label, choosing this brand feels deliberate: the pieces are beautifully made, modern without being overly trendy, and subtle enough to fit a busy schedule of events. It’s this balance—discreet, thoughtful, and surprisingly affordable—that explains why DeMellier consistently appears on the arms of some of the world's most influential fashion icons.

      Elsa Hosk has been spotted with her new DeMellier bag from the upcoming DeMellier Icons 2025 collection. Below are some of the best DeMellier bags available.
