Apparently Jacob Elordi is really into purses?

GQ wrote about it today too

I love him more than ever now.

Another feature from today

The Chanel bag suggests he's been paid as a brand ambassador (there are a zillion bags that don't scream a brand). He's basically being a model in public. Watch for him to be photographed in more chanel stuff in the coming months.

More likely designers have just learned that he likes purses and simply send them to him. He, in turn, gets photographed with the purses so designers know that he likes them, and the cycle continues.

For example, the Louis Vuitton yellow bag he was just photographed with is for next season and isn’t available to the public yet. He was gifted it.

Hold mah bag!

Good.

Phones are big and heavy, key fobs are bulky now. Mints, lip balm, vape, whatever - Having a purse for that stuff is going to make your fit look better in slim fit clothes.

Not an issue for him. He could smuggle an uzi in those.

I thought it was Sofias bag and he's holding it for her?

Nope, that’s his purse. He doesn’t know you!

The moustache is just cringe, though.

I don't find a man harrying some sort of bag off putting, but couldn't he have gone for something more masculine. Carrying those purses that clearly look like something a female would carry makes him look ridiculous IMO.

I’ll give these designers credit. If they can make expensive handbags a guy thing as well they’ll tap into a huge market.

He really doesn’t mind being seen holding his purses in such a feminine way. Very progressive.

I’d love to have a bag sometimes, it would make things easier. I like his style.

If Jacob Elordi was a monkey

Men carrying purses is so effiminate. I also can't stand men who carry bags or purses in the crook of their arms, like women carrying Birken Bags do.

The issue is that copying women and their manner of dress, carriage, and such isn't a good look on men.

FAG!

The Yaassss Kweens must love this.

What I don't get is that they make luxury bags for men, but that's not what he's choosing. I carried a Coach bag, smaller than a messenger bag, but a quilted Chanel purse?

It's not a purse.

It's EUROPEAN!!!!

I hope no one steals Jacob's European carry all.

I thought a huge bag would be useful for everything, including grocery shopping. It didn’t work.

The weight of the leather combined with that of the canned goods RUINED my fantasy of baguettes and celery poking out of the fucking bag.

My work around is a Bottega Veneta zip-up grocery tote.

So, I need a plain cross-body bag that holds a tote, phone, vape, earbud case, wallet, notebook, and phone.

Who wants to fuck a femme’y fag with a purse?

I’m all for this. I’d love a big expensive bag to slap people with.

R25 are you by any chance, Aunt Esther?

Yes, let's please get in the huge man's face about his purse (bring a ladder).

Jacob Elordi is accused of carrying purses as a PR calculation

Poor Jacob. No one will believe that he just likes purses.

Cute young *fashion!* men can, um, pull off a lot of things that would be harder for their older, fatter versions to manage.

[quote] My work around is a Bottega Veneta zip-up grocery tote.

Never lose an opportunity to let the world know you’re an asshole.

He should buy a Loewe Hammock Bag which would look better on him than the ones he has.

I'd choke him with the strap while I was fucking him. Other than that, be a man and use a fucking grocery bag.

Yeah he looks real straight carrying that purse like a lady.

Who cares if he carries a purse/bag? It’s really nothing to get worked up about.

I suspected gay men would be more critical due to internalized self hatred. Even a flaming queen like Shawn Mendes doesn’t carry a purse.

However the article above shows that it’s not an issue really for many people.

R35 I am NOT a flaming queen - shut up!

GQ being cheeky:

Take a cue from Jacob Elordi, and invest in a tiny leather or canvas bag, also known as a purse

Honestly, I have never understood why men do NOT carry purses. We have sh*t, too. I can't carry everything in my pockets. Whether backpack, laptop bag or sling bag I have low-key carried a "purse" for 20 years.

Except those aren't purses

[quote] Except those aren't purses

Yes, dear, I know. I am not a woman.

Then stop calling people dear

I shall not.

Purse fever is spreading!

New purse!

Aspirational young working class men - fashion guys - straight ones - have been carrying little bags for at least 20 years. IN EUROPE. It's Europeany.

Since we know Jacob is a tall handsome man with an underwhelming cock, it's cool he has gone balls in on his nonbinary luxury commodity fetishm. But it's douchy when they are underscaled 10K designer bags, gifted to him to shill. The FOMO of it all. I prefer Harry Styles.

In lieu of movie PR.

Been carrying purses and all sorts of purse-adjacent bags for eons. I love DL but I swear sometimes it’s like stepping into 1950 here.

I can’t afford Chanel and I’m not half as pretty as Jacob Elordi but to me he looks masculine with or without a purse.

R48 here. Look, Jacob's purses, Timothee's and Austin's recent magazine fashion photoshoots, Paul's interview---these are all just means of staying visible during the strike.

Otherwise, at the very least we'd have photos of them at screenings of "Priscilla," "Wonka," "The Bikeriders," "All of Us Strangers," "Saltburn," "Dune: 2," and more.

Jacob has been carrying purses for years

Also magazine features are usually arranged and shot several months before they appear

And Jacob is promoting Priscilla because A24 isn’t part of AMPTP

Jacob is seen at the airport with a new purse.

He also appears to have begun to use his cargo pants for overflow storage.

This is also from next year’s LV Pharrell collection so it was given as a gift.

That boy is long and lean!
