Marjorie Harvey's Handbag Collection: A Detailed Look at Her Ultra-Rare Exotic Bags

Marjorie Harvey has become a notable figure in the luxury fashion world, not as a celebrity influencer or actress, but as a dedicated VIP client of the most prestigious fashion houses. Known for her polished presence at fashion events, she consistently carries pieces that reflect the highest tier of luxury design: crocodile and alligator skins, pavé diamond accents, and hard-to-find runway styles. This article examines some of the most remarkable pieces from her wardrobe, offering insight into their rarity and estimated worth.

How We Estimated the Values

For this analysis, we relied on original retail prices when available. Some pieces are easier to price because a brand has published a current retail figure.

Chanel Alligator WOC Bag

Similar Bag Sold for $8,365 via Heritage Auctions

Marjorie and Steve were vacationing in Portofino in this photo so, you know: a little, casual Chanel exotic.

Chanel Alligator Tote

Marjorie’s collection also shows how varied luxury handbags can be within a single wardrobe.

The actual retail of this bag was probably significantly higher than this comparable resale price, but we couldn’t find the MSRP data and Chanel exotics hold their value far better in fan favorites like the Classic Flap or Boy Bag than in seasonal styles like this one. I doubt Marjorie plans to resell, though.

Chanel Camera Minaudiere

$13,000 via Chanel

Together, they create a portrait of a collector who favors bold, distinctive, and highly sought-after accessories.

Dior Alligator Bubble Bag

$28,500 via Dior

As far as I can tell, this piece was seasonal and Dior isn’t still making it, but the price above was its US price when new.

For especially rare exotic bags, pricing can vary widely depending on condition, hardware, color, size, and provenance, so all estimates should be read as informed approximations rather than fixed valuations. There’s a healthy resale market, though, so we’re going to use those prices for Marjorie’s three Lady Diors.

Marjorie always looks like she’s having a good time and, ya know, I guess we all would in her situation.

Minaudières are typically sought after for their novelty and craftsmanship, and runway versions often draw attention because they capture a specific moment in the brand’s creative cycle.

Hermès Crocodile Birkin with Pavé Diamond Hardware

$175,000, estimated

This bag is tricky to estimate. Heritage Auctions sold an almost identical bag for about $79,000, but that was in 2014, and bags in this color with diamond hardware have shot up remarkably in value since then. The Lady Dior remains one of the house’s most recognizable silhouettes, and in crocodile it becomes a clear luxury statement.

Hermès Constance Crocodile Bag

Similar Bag Sold for $18,750 via Heritage Auctions

We’re not here to count clothes, but I bet her vest also cost a pretty penny.

Hermès Himalayan Crocodile Birkin Bag

For collectors, the appeal often lies in the combination of a timeless structure and a rare material, a pairing that can keep the bag desirable well beyond its original release.

We weren’t able to license a photo of Marjorie’s Himalayan Kelly from our photo service, but trust us, she has it along with both the little Birkin and the big one below.

Bags at this level are often valued through a combination of past auction results, current private-market listings, and the perceived desirability of the specific color and metalwork. With bags of this rarity, sellers with a large enough clientele can more or less name their price. All designer prices are divorced from a piece’s material value to a certain extent, but with this bag in particular, there’s no telling how much someone might be willing to spend in order to have it. The Himalayan Crocodile Birkin is one of the most recognizable examples of exotic luxury in the handbag market. The sky is the limit for this piece.

Hermès Kelly Cut Crocodile Clutch

The Same Bag Sold for $27,500 at Heritage Auctions

Pieces like this are often valued individually, since even small differences in hardware, provenance, or condition can have a major impact on pricing. It was a flex if I’ve ever seen one.

Hermès Kelly Cut Crocodile Clutch with Pavé Diamond Hardware

Similar Bag Without Diamonds Sold for $23,750 via Heritage Auctions

A Kelly Cut with pavé diamond hardware raises the stakes further, blending understated structure with ornate finishing. Adding “after-market” diamonds to Hermès bags is not uncommon, but since there’s no available precedent for the sale price of this bag with diamond hardware, we’re just going to play it safe and use the diamond-free estimate.

Lighter colors in exotic skins are often especially prized because they highlight the leather’s texture and give the clutch a softer, more luminous presence.

Hermès So Black Alligator Kelly Bag

Similar Bag Sold for $110,000 via Portero

The Louis Vuitton City Trunk Bag draws from the brand’s luggage heritage while translating that history into a more modern fashion object. Very few of them have ever been resold online, unlike the alligator Birkins, which you see pop up more commonly.

Because Twist variations have appeared in multiple sizes and finishes, pricing is often best understood by comparing the closest current or recent model available from the house.

Louis Vuitton Crocodile Twist Bag

$18,400 via Louis Vuitton

This exact version of the Twist with corner patches is no longer made, but we’re going to use the price for the sleeker current model in the same size.

Louis Vuitton Deesse PM Crocodile Bag

Valentino’s Crocodile VaVaVoom Bag demonstrates that exotic leather is not limited to a few heritage houses.

As you might have noticed in the photos so far, Marjorie isn’t just fond of exotic handbags–she also has a major thing for Dior sunglasses, like the ones in this photo.

Valentino Crocodile VaVaVoom Bag

$4,510 via Valentino

This bag has been discontinued, but that was the last MSRP for a crocodile VaVaVoom we could find.

Grand Total: $1,252,269

With exotic handbags, especially those from Hermès, Chanel, and Dior, the real value often depends on rarity, condition, and who is looking to buy. Or, at least we hope she does.
