Thanks to the fourth and final season of Succession, stealth wealth has dominated style headlines for the past few weeks. While the notion of muted luxury is a tale as old as time – particularly if you’re, well, legitimately wealthy – this low-key yet effective approach to fashion is having a moment on and off the runways. A star who’s a fan of the trend: Gigi Hadid, who can’t get enough of one particular item that’s the epitome of “quiet luxury.”
The 27-year-old model was spotted with friends over the weekend in New York City wearing a black tank top, a blue button-up shirt, a blue baseball cap, round-frame sunglasses, and a pair of grey Adidas Samba trainers. But the Loro Piana L19 clutch bag in cream—which is about as “if you know, you know” as it gets—was the main attraction. (The bag, yours for $1975, also doubles as a vanity case, FYI.) And this isn’t the first time Hadid’s been seen out and about with the sleek little bag.
Last week, the model adopted chic tonal dressing for spring in a slouchy suit. To finish the look? Naturally, Hadid wore her go-to Loro Piana mini bag. Prior to that, Hadid has been seen wearing the luxury piece at New York Fashion Week in September of last year, and during the press tour for Netflix’s Next In Fashion more recently.
Despite being a 99-year-old business, the hyper-luxury brand Loro Piana has gained notoriety in recent years for its impeccably crafted separates produced from the most luxurious fabrics. Kendall Roy, the anti-hero of Succession, is depicted wearing an array of items with eye-popping price tags – right down to his baseball caps, which cost upwards of $495. Streetwear aficionados are now praising the brand as a source of investment essentials (“IYKYK”). And Gigi Hadid is clearly in agreement.
