H-Bag leather crossbody bag | The Many Bags of Rachel Bilson

Sac GUESS Vezzola Smart Work Bag HMEVZZ P2114 BLA: Rachel Bilson‘s bag game is absolutely sick. I always knew that, but when I actually sat down to look at paparazzi shots of her and all the fabulous things she’s carried, I was even more impressed. Rachel’s known for her Chanel collection (oh, and also her scene-stealing role on a little show called The OC, which makes her very near and dear to my forever-nostalgic heart), but she has a significant haul from lots of great brands.

In fact, what made going through Rachel’s collection so interesting is that she somehow manages to be loyal to such a wide variety of brands simultaneously. Her collection includes not only multiples from Chanel, but also from Chloe, Miu Miu and 3.1 Phillip Lim. Even though she’s almost always dressed down, her bags are eye-catching and luxurious, without exception. No Chevron the folks at ShoeMint, where Bilson lends her designs idea to a stylish, affordable footwear line, decided to expand into bags. Check out our rundown of Rachel’s amazing accessories choices after the jump!


We’re going to start with Chanel because we feel like that’s where Rachel would start. How gorgeous is this pristine white Chanel Boy Chanel Tote? Way too gorgeous.


Next up is what might be Rachel’s favorite bag – her Chanel Reissue 2.55 Flap Bag in beautiful distressed grey leather. Rachel’s had this bag forever (it came out in 2005!) and she still carries it all the time. We found more examples than we could post, but we have a few…


…Like this one…

…And this one. Also worth noting: based on these pictures, Rachel spends an inordinate amount of time standing near parking meters.

D flower satchel bag


My favorite part of Rachel’s Chanel collection is her classic black Handtasche PEPE JEANS Mandi bag PG030406 Natural 816. Gimme.


Rachel’s versatile when it comes to Chanel, though. This Chanel Woven Straw Hobo is quite different than the brand’s usual Parisian look.


Even back in her OC days, Rachel was a big fan of Chanel – look at this teeny blue Chanel Reissue 2.55 Flap Bag!


And then there’s Rachel’s big black Geantă Tjw Essential Pu Camera Bag AW0AW10152 YBR, pieces per bag.


See what we’re saying?

Quotations from second hand bags Louis Vuitton Sac Plat


Rachel’s such a Chanel girl that she’s even tight with Karl Lagerfeld. Naturally, that’s a Chanel Tahiti Clutch in her hand.


Now, for a bit of a palate cleanser, here’s Rachel with her Louis Vuitton Antheia Leather Hobo. Bilson’s not a huge Vuitton girl, it seems, but this bag fits right in with her collection. GANNI raised-logo crossbody bag.


Going in to the process of writing this post, I also expected to find a lot of Chloe bags in Rachel’s collection, and I wasn’t disappointed. This is the Tier System integrates with other RUSH bags in orange and tan. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $1495.


Rachel even has a Chloe bag that I don’t think I’ve ever seen before – the Chloe Elvire Leather Tote. Shop Chloe via Net-a-Porter.


It appears as though sometimes, Rachel changes bags so quickly that she forgets to take the tags off new ones, as was the case with this Disney x Coach Minnie Mouse Bag Charm. Shop Botkier via Bloomingdale’s!


Not doublething Rachel carries is scarily expensive (although, let’s be real, a lot of it is and that’s why we love her). This Vanessa Bruno 669 Tote for $165 via FarFetch.

Смука мини o bag


On the other end of the spectrum, Rachel rocks a vintage Hermes Kelly double so often.


MAISON MARGIELA FIRE MINI SHOULDER BAG Fendi Tote. Shop Fendi via Neiman Marcus.


Rachel’s young, fashionable look fits perfectly with Miu Miu, which is probably why she’s been caught carrying the brand’s bags several time. First, the Miu Miu Shopping Pattina Tote. Shop Miu Miu via Net-a-Porter.


Prefer something brighter? Rachel’s Miu Miu Ruched Bag in bright red might do the trick. Shop Miu Miu via Net-a-Porter.


Rachel’s also a big fan of the Burberry Studded Satchel, the best bag that Burberry has released in recent seasons. Shop Burberry via Net-a-Porter.

Anya Hindmarch I Am A Plastic Bag In-Flight case


A bag for a good cause? That’s right up Rachel’s ally – she uses her FEED Tote to grocery shop. (I think that’s also probably a Louis Vuitton 2002 pre-owned America's Cup shoulder bag under her arm, but I can’t see enough of it to confirm.) CN Bag 19 Flap Bag Quilted Lambskin Medium Ganebet Store quantity.


Running through all these bags is making us a little out of breath, so here’s something completely different: Rachel Bilson and her absolutely enormous dog. I just couldn’t resist this picture. Now, on with the bags!

Padded backpack straps for easy carrying


Rachel has several red bags in her collection, the Jimmy Choo Blythe Satchel among them. Shop Jimmy Choo via Net-a-Porter.


Also among Bilson’s red collection is a bag from another one of her most-carried designers, the 3.1 Phillip Lim Page Bag. Shop 3.1 Phillip Lim via Net-a-Porter.


Also in Rachel’s old-school Phillip Lim collection: the 3.1 small Chain Lid basket shoulder bag. Shop 3.1 Phillip Lim via Net-a-Porter.


Last but certainly not least, Rachel also loves some current-season Lim. Her 3.1 Phillip Lim Mini Pashli in pure, smooth white leather is a stunning choice next to one of Lim’s floral dresses from the same season.

The Burberry is one of my favorites from them in the recent years. If it didn’t weigh like 10 pounds empty I would have gotten it.
