11 of Carina Lau’s most exquisite luxury handbags: the Hong Kong icon spends her US$60 million net worth on Hermès Kelly, Dior Book Tote, Louis Vuitton Petite Malle and Bulgari Serpenti Forever

A wardrobe as lavish as Lau’s is in some ways expected though, especially when you consider her US$60 million net worth estimated by PopularBio (or US$80 million per Celebrity Net Worth, if you combine it with her hubby’s US$20 million fortune). Either way, she’s clearly got a natural sense of style. But no outfit is complete without the right accessories.

Here are 11 of Carina Lau’s most enviable handbags that she’s worn to events, red carpets and when she’s been off-duty, as posted on her social media:

1. Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Monogram metal bag

When Louis Vuitton showcased its spring/summer 2022 collection by Nicolas Ghesquière in Shanghai in December 2021, the 57-year-old showed up to support one of her favourite brands. She sported head-to-toe LV with the eye-catching Petite Malle metal bag in tow, made with calfskin and adorned with metallic monogram flowers.

2. Hermès Lindy

Everyone knows that owning an Hermès bag is a flex, and Lau has proven her loyalty to the Lindy in white. The pricey crocodile-leather accessory was pictured on her social media and eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that her version is considered quite rare, per Icon Singapore.

3. Delvaux Tempête

It’s clear that Lau opts for simple, timeless styles and colour palettes for her handbag collection and the Delvaux Tempête is no exception. Created in the 1960s, the design was inspired by a sailboat’s trapeze and is made with natural-grained calf leather with gold metal hardware, per Icon Singapore.

4. Bulgari Serpenti Forever

Bulgari’s iconic snake motif was given new life in the brand’s handbag collection. Lau has been seen sporting the Serpenti Forever bucket bag version, which is pierced with the snakehead at the drawstring closure and inspired by Greek and Roman mythology, according to the brand’s description of it.

5. Small Dior Caro Bag

The Infernal Affairs actress went all-out Dior for this goddess-like look she posted on her Instagram. She paired her bronze-coloured dress with the Small Dior Caro Bag in grey supple calfskin, which is embellished with an antique “CD” twist clasp inspired by the seal of the brand’s Christian Dior perfume bottle.

6. Dior Book Tote

Ever since the Dior Book Tote was released, it has become the “It” bag among every fashion-forward celebrity and socialite alike. As Hong Kong’s very own “It” girl, it’s no surprise that Lau dons one herself as she travels around for her day-to-day errands.

7. Hermès Kelly

One of Lau’s pricier companions is none other than the luxe Hermès Kelly bag, which is known for being extremely rare and a good investment. She’s been spotted donning a pink version and reportedly has another one in white, per Harper’s Bazaar.

8. Lady Dior Art

“Dior Lady Art” is a project where the fashion house collaborates with artists globally to give them a chance to recreate unique interpretations of its iconic bag that was first named after Princess Diana. Lau, an active supporter of Dior, picked up a piece from a Chinese artist who used striped colours to reimagine the possibilities of oil painting, per Harper’s Bazaar. The limited-edition piece debuted at Art021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair in 2019.

10. Fendi Peekaboo

Lau has worn pieces from Fendi’s Peekaboo series on multiple occasions, including one in beige at The Shapes of Water Exhibition & Peekaboo meets Design 10th Anniversary at the Landmark in Hong Kong in 2019. The timeless bag is revered for its years-long commitment to artistic tradition and elegant silhouette.

11. Dior Bobby

The TVB alum owns a cream-coloured Dior Bobby bag, which is one of the newer pieces in her collection. According to Dior’s website, the design aims to modernise the “hobo” style by incorporating sleek proportions and features, adding its decorative “CD” military-inspired buckle and offering the choice of wearing it over the shoulder or cross-body.
