Well, it seems these days to be a pop star you need a couple of things – a smash hit song (yup, fair enough), a fairly revealing wardrobe (just ask Lady Gaga!) and whaddaya know: a designer bag (helps if it’s Louis Vuitton, too).

Pixie Lott has burst onto the scene at a rather rapid rate, but that hasn’t stopped her from quickly donning the pop star ‘look’ and of course, building up her handbag collection.

If you’ve got secret pop star aspirations of your own, then you can always fast track requirement number three (LV acquisition) so just in case you are discovered by Simon Cowell, you’ve already got the bag thing down pat. We like this Pochette Tulum in the monogram canvas, which is similar to the one Pixie is holding. It’s small, but you’ll have an entourage to carry all of your belongings anyway! It’s priced at ￡220 from Louis Vuitton.

- There is a bag that claudia schiffer is carrying that appears in sunday mirror mag (14.9.08). Would you be able to find out the make at all? so many thanks if you can and for trying. – Chris

Hi Chris, unfortunately I couldn’t nab myself a copy of the Sunday Mirror mag to see which bag exactly had caught your eye. But my guess is it is the bag above, as Claudia has been photographed with it quite often this year, and in particular around the end of August/early September which is the date of the mag you mentioned. This bag is a YSL Muse Two, in beige leather, and as you can see, looks fantastic whether you’re in your trackies or looking glam in a patent trench! It’s not cheap ($1,995) but looks set to become one of those timeless classics you’ll never regret purchasing.
