Real Housewives of Orange County Season 11: Handbag Recap Returns to PurseBlog

A Beloved Tradition Returns

Longtime PurseBlog readers will remember our weekly recaps of every Real Housewives franchise. Longtime PurseBlog readers may remember our recurring Real Housewives recaps, and we are pleased to bring that tradition back with the cast that launched the franchise: the women of Orange County.

When Recaps Begin

Due to a minor technical delay, our full episode recaps will launch with next week’s episode — the second of the season. In the meantime, we invite you to discuss last night’s premiere and all the off-camera, off-season drama in the comments below.

Bag Highlights from the Premiere

For handbag fans, the appeal is as much about the accessories as the drama, since each episode tends to deliver a fresh mix of polished evening bags, classic designer staples, and the occasional statement piece worth discussing. Vicki was spotted carrying a Valentino, and Tamra’s Chanel Boy Bag caught our eye. What bags did you notice?

Join the Conversation

We want to hear your thoughts on the season so far. Because of a brief technical delay, the full episode-by-episode recaps will begin with next week’s episode, which is the second of the season. Which franchise should we recap next — Beverly Hills or New York? Let us know in the comments.

Reader Comments

Until then, this premiere gives us plenty to talk about, from the on-screen tension to the bags the cast chose for the opening night. The ladies carried some nice bags last night. Vicki and her Valentino for starters.

Share your thoughts on the episode and any standout accessories in the comments below. I really like her!

What about Tamara’s Chanel Boy Bag? The season opener delivered a strong showing of luxury handbags. She is one of my favorites across all franchises!

please bring back RHOBH recaps too!

We’re gonna start with OC and see how the reception is – if everyone’s excited we can consider more Real Housewives recaps!

Vicki was seen with a Valentino, while Tamra carried a Chanel Boy Bag that immediately caught our attention. It was your recaps how I actually found this site. Now I read it almost everyday.

These choices reflect two very different handbag moods: one leaning sleek and polished, the other more structured and iconic.

I’ve never seen an episode of any “real” anything. Watching dysfunctional people is not my thing. If you spotted other notable bags during the premiere, we would love to hear which ones stood out to you.

Agreed – TOTALLY.

Glad the recaps are returning. This season already has viewers asking how the storylines will unfold, and the handbag moments are part of what makes the discussion fun. I know these must be difficult to write, every franchise is full of crazies and commenting on it all takes a LOT of note taking, but I read these after each show and the comments were great.

Yes to NY!

Are the producers steering the edit in a particular direction? I am glad they are back!
