During her four-day wedding extravaganza in the south of France, Sofia Richie Grainge not only showcased her impeccable fashion sense but also drew attention to her curated collection of chic and timeless bags. Predominantly Chanel, these bags seamlessly complemented the Chanel Ambassador’s regular choices and took centre stage on social media.
Sofia’s bag preferences lean towards classic and timeless designs, favouring neutral shades such as black, beige, and brown, making her bags versatile and adaptable to various outfits. Iconic styles like the quilted Chanel flap bag and the sleek Hermès Kelly and Birkin bags dominate her collection. That, however, doesn’t mean that Richie is afraid to use a pop of colour from time to time – opting for Hermès mini-Kellys in vibrant hues like hot pink and deep red.
The model consistently gravitates towards classic and timeless designs, typically favouring smaller sizes to emphasise a refined and elegant aesthetic. These compact accessories have become a signature element of her style, serving as small yet impactful statement pieces to add colour or texture to her more understated outfits.
All of these bag choices share a common denominator: they are all investment pieces designed to withstand the test of time. Balancing classic yet modern elements with a fun twist, these enduring symbols of sophistication and taste showcase Richie’s commitment to building a long-lasting, well-rounded bag collection. Below, you will find six styles that are among her top favourites.
During her wedding festivities, Sofia completed almost every outfit with a range of Chanel bags. From her Chanel 22C Embellished Fabric Medium Classic Flap bag at her pre-wedding celebration with a matching white look, to a Chanel Beech Wood Vanity Case complementing a beige-coloured dress.

Unsurprisingly, The Chanel connoisseur’s collection extends to more Chanel bags, particularly the Mini Flap, a classic style within Chanel’s repertoire. Launched in 2010, this smaller iteration of Karl Lagerfeld’s Classic Double Flap has become a staple in Richie’s wardrobe. The Mini Flap was inspired by Coco Chanel’s original 1950s handbag and offers diverse shapes, mirroring its larger counterparts, ranging from traditional rectangles to square designs.
