Whereas Jacob Elordi could also be grabbing headlines for his facial hair currently, debuting a full beard on the Marrakech Movie Pageant earlier within the month, it’s what he has dangling from his arm, not his chin, that sometimes garners consideration.
The “Euphoria” and “Priscilla” star has emerged as younger Hollywood’s unofficial ambassador for the “murse,” a lot in order that in Might, Bottega Veneta formally made him an envoy. As such, Elordi carries the Italian model’s minimally skewed designs most frequently. However with artistic director Matthieu Blazy quickly departing to go up Chanel, might Elordi do the identical and commerce in his “intrecciatos” for interlocking double C’s?
Elordi is not any stranger to Chanel. The French home not too long ago forged him reverse “Wuthering Heights” costar Margot Robbie in its newest advert for No. 5 fragrance, and whereas Blazy will little question introduce new bag strains to Chanel’s arsenal, there are already a couple of kinds the actor would possibly take a liking to.
For starters, Elordi doesn’t shrink back from a ladylike top-handle. One amongst a couple of celebrities like Kylie Jenner and A$AP Rocky to catapult Bottega’s Andiamo bag to “It” standing, Elordi brought about a frenzy final 12 months after paparazzi caught him with one leaving an L.A. wearing sneakers and health club shorts. Though Chanel’s model, dubbed “Coco” after Gabrielle Chanel’s nickname, has a traditional flap closure as an alternative of an open high just like the Andiamo, it does include an analogous shoulder strap, which Elordi finds helpful for juggling iced matcha drinks.
The actor has additionally demonstrated he has a little bit of humor with regards to accessorizing. Entrance row at Bottega Veneta’s MFW runway present in September, he personalised a purple suede Andiamo, with a unusual appeal within the form of his canine Layla, and beforehand, Elordi sported the model’s limited-edition collaboration tote with New York-based bookseller The Strand, primarily a couture-level purchasing bag fabricated from leather-based.
Such novelties have performed a key function in Chanel’s assortment since Karl Lagerfeld’s tenure (quilted ankle monitor instances, anybody?), and Blazy is simply too expert at them to not carry the custom ahead. Whereas first assortment doesn’t bow till October, within the interim, the in-house workforce supplied metallic birdcages on chains for spring 2025 that would definitely rating Elordi factors with collectors.
It’s unlikely that he would go that extravagant, nevertheless. In spite of everything, Elordi’s bag of selection appears to be a extra practical crossbody. He’s been noticed with variations from the likes of Burberry, Celine and even Chanel at a dinner thrown by the home throughout final 12 months’s Venice Movie Pageant. The tweedy-looking traditional flap he selected was a terrific introduction, however we’d wish to see him attempt one thing much less demure.
Ought to his relationship with Chanel strengthen within the new 12 months, Elordi might take the 19 bag out for a spin — it’s an equally cushiony various to Bottega’s padded Cassette — or he would possibly borrow styling cues from Chanel’s Métiers d’Artwork present in Hangzhou, China, piling two luggage on high of each other. It will give him a head begin on the “chaotic customization” pattern gripping the Gen-Z equipment market and in return, would possibly even heighten Chanel’s clout with a youthful male viewers.
