Madonna is an icon, so it only makes sense that her wardrobe picks are equally iconic. This week, the pop star was spotted wearing two different versions of the Aupen Nirvana bag—one costing a jaw-dropping $100,000. The exclusive croc-patterned edition was made in collaboration with LVMH Métiers d’Art as the first design from Aupen’s freshly launched Haute Maroquinerie line.
Haute Maroquinerie represents an entirely new mission for the ultra-chic bag brand. The invitation-only program will encapsulate the core values of the luxury experience. Clients will have the opportunity to participate in a deeply personal design process with the Aupen team, similar to that of a traditional couture gown.
However, if that feels a tad out of reach, no need to worry. The Nirvana Deluxe, also effortlessly styled by Madonna, is available online for a relatively more approachable $450. The asymmetrical shape adds a nice pop of structure while still leaving plenty of room.
For the couture iteration, Madonna dressed it up, pairing the accessory with a sultry sheer bustier and skirt over a silver slip dress, all by Dilara Findikoglu. She balanced out the look with black loafers. For the Deluxe Nirvana, the singer kept it low-key with a Vaquera rugby-inspired T-shirt and nylon track pants, making a perfect case for its day-to-night versatility.
Along with Madonna, countless other “It” girls have sported the style, including Charli XCX, Jenna Ortega, Blue Ivy Carter, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and more.
