How many bags would you have if you had a lot of money like Heidi Klum? A hundred? We don’t know the exact number of purses the supermodel mom has in her closet, but we’re sure it’s a double-digit.

We’ve featured her many times before, and each write-up shows the blonde bombshell sporting a different arm candy. But even with so many, there’s one bag Ms. Klum likes carrying repeatedly. Can you guess what it is?

Yes, she’s hooked on her studded snakeskin Birkin. We spotted her with this bag in Germany back in May. She also used it several times last month. And, as if she couldn’t get enough of it, she used it to spice up a boyish three-piece suit yesterday.

Do you like Heidi’s favorite bag? Or do you find the mix of snakeskin and studs a little too much?
Birkins are expensive, so if you need an alternative, try the following textured and studded option from Vieta instead. It’s not as structured but is made of snake-print (faux) leather material and features studs around the edges.

Alternately, if you have the patience to do some DIY (and mess with a bag), you can grab a gorgeous snake-print tote from Rachel Zoe and attach black or gunmetal hotfix pyramid studs to it.


That said, allow us to end this story with another question for you. Do you have a favorite bag you keep returning to the day in and day out, like Heidi?
