There are sequels that arrive with nostalgia, and there are sequels that arrive with wardrobe pressure. Devil Wears Prada 2 belongs to the second category—because in a story set inside fashion’s most competitive ecosystem, handbags aren’t props. They’re portable status, personal mythology, and sometimes a whole character arc with a strap.
The original The Devil Wears Prada taught us that taste is never “just taste.” It’s hierarchy, timing, access. Two decades later, the sequel returns to Runway with the original creative backbone—director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna—and a modern reality where fashion is consumed at algorithm speed, paparazzi spoilers are basically a parallel press tour, and what you carry gets analyzed like a quarterly earnings call.
The return of Runway, now filmed like a live fashion feed
The sequel’s on-set images read like moving editorials, shot in the open—particularly on Sixth Avenue—where crowds gathered daily to watch scenes unfold. The production also leaned into fashion’s real calendar: a key sequence was filmed during Dolce & Gabbana’s runway show in Milan, with the film confirming the scene will appear in the final cut—an unusually literal fusion of cinema and front row.
That “public” way of filming matters, because it changes how accessories work. A bag isn’t just seen in a scene; it’s seen in 40 angles, in daylight, in paparazzi flash, in a thousand reposts—before the movie even opens.
A styling handover that keeps the DNA, but updates the syntax
The biggest behind-the-scenes fashion headline: original costume designer Patricia Field is not leading the sequel, and her longtime collaborator Molly Rogers is steering the wardrobe. Rogers’ approach, as described in recent press, is longevity over novelty: pieces that won’t date the second you rewatch the film in five years.
That’s why the bags are so telling. Instead of “logo as punchline,” the edit leans into materials, craftsmanship, and silhouettes with real fashion memory: fringe suede, bead-embroidered icons, archival-feeling clutches, serious briefcases, and one very pointed wave of “work bags” that feel like armor.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 bag edit (as spotted so far)
A quick note before we go piece-by-piece: on-set bags can change between takes, scenes, and final edit. But the current lineup is cohesive enough to read as intentional storytelling.
1. Valentino Valentino Garavani Nellcôte fringe shoulder bag
If the sequel’s mood has a “soft power” soundtrack, this is the opening chord. The Nellcôte is suede, fringe-heavy, and studded—western romance filtered through luxury restraint. It signals a version of Andy who’s done enough serious work to stop proving herself with rigid “office bags,” yet still understands the grammar of expensive detail. The specs and dimensions on the brand/retail listings underline the point: it’s a statement, but not a costume.
2. CHANEL Chanel Spring/Summer 2025 Maxi Flap Handle Bag
Chanel’s presence in the film is never accidental; it’s visual shorthand for legacy power. The maxi flap-with-handle silhouette reads like boardroom Chanel—bigger, heavier, more “carry the world” than cocktail. Chanel doesn’t publish prices online, so any retail number floating around is typically an estimate from boutique pricing and market reporting, but the point in-story is scale: this is not a “cute bag,” it’s a “this is my day.”
3. Dellaluna “Roman” gold clutch
A gold clutch in this film isn’t about sparkle—it’s about ceremony. Dellaluna’s Roman clutch sits in that rare category of object bags that feel like a relic you inherited (even when you bought it new). Listed at €2,200 on the brand site, it’s the kind of piece that reads instantly on camera: reflective, architectural, and “important.”
4. Dellaluna “Imperial” clutch (silver version made for the film)
This is the sequel’s quiet flex: a piece that exists in the brand universe, but is tweaked for narrative. The Imperial is listed at €3,600—and that aligns with how it shows up visually: bigger presence, more formal energy, the kind of clutch that doesn’t match your outfit so much as outranks it.
5. FENDI Fendi Baguette Mini embroidered with grey bugle beads
There are bags that whisper and bags that glitter with intent. This one does both. Fendi’s product description calls out the scale of the work—over 5,800 bugle beads—plus crystal detailing on the FF clasp, which matters for film: it catches light even in motion. Retail pricing appears on Fendi’s site at $4,300 in the U.S.
6. Fendi Basket Forty8 (blue recycled plastic tote)
The Basket Forty8 is plot-relevant energy: it belongs to the “real life” parts of the story—travel days, street exits, logistics, the unglamorous mechanics of being in motion. The fact that it’s made from recycled plastic makes the look feel current without trying too hard. Pricing varies by retailer/region; one listed price is €1,400.
7. Khaite Lori Baguette in Bordeaux crackle patent leather
This is Andy’s grown-up baguette: elongated, minimal, quietly expensive, with that crackle patent finish that photographs like liquid. Khaite lists it at $1,680. It’s the kind of bag that suggests a new relationship to fashion—less “Runway makeover,” more “I know what I’m doing now.”
8. Jacquemus La Pochette Rond Carré
The Rond Carré is a styling tool as much as a bag: it’s graphic, architectural, and instantly readable in a still frame. Jacquemus’ official descriptions emphasize the folded clutch construction and the signature circle/square closure ends—exactly the kind of design “hook” costume departments love, because it looks like a decision.
9. COACH Empire Carryall 34
This is the on-set workhorse that still looks editorial. The Empire Carryall 34 is priced around $450, and its popularity (pre-film) is part of why it lands: it’s believable as a smart, contemporary choice for a character who no longer needs a fashion logo to prove she belongs.
10. Coach Vintage Metropolitan Briefcase
The sequel keeps returning to this silhouette because it’s narratively useful: a briefcase says documents, deadlines, agency. It also drags Andy’s fashion past into her present in a believable way—vintage, durable, not performatively trendy. Recent reporting places it around $895 via Coach’s Re(Loved) channel, though availability fluctuates.
11. Mark Cross Romy 25
The Romy 25 is what you carry when you want polish without flash: structured, discreet, emotionally “old money.” Mark Cross lists it at $2,290, and it reads like the natural upgrade from a functional briefcase when the day turns into meetings.
12. Mark Cross Harry 24 Portfolio Case
This is the “serious” accessory that still feels cinematic—especially in men’s styling, where bags often get treated as afterthoughts. Mark Cross lists the Harry 24 at $1,090, and the description frames it explicitly as a laptop/documents portfolio.
13. Stella McCartney Ryder Flap Crossbody
An espresso crossbody with a clean flap is a costume designer’s cheat code: it grounds a look without dulling it. Stella McCartney lists the Ryder Flap Crossbody Bag at $975, and it fits the film’s broader move toward wearable luxury that doesn’t feel like costume jewelry.
14. Dior D-Journey
Emily’s bags tend to communicate “I’ve upgraded my life.” The D-Journey fits: modern hobo line, crinkled calfskin, graphic topstitching—soft shape, strong identity. Dior’s own description positions it as a daily companion with a functional compartment layout.
15. Rabanne Iconic Nano shoulder bag
Rabanne’s small metallic bags have always been about motion—discs, mesh, reflection—so they play brilliantly on camera. Pricing varies widely by retailer; one widely listed figure sits around the $1,000 mark (often slightly under or over).
16. Céline An unreleased tote/shoulder bag
This is the most “insider” signal in the current edit: an unreleased Celine bag functions as a narrative mic drop—Miranda doesn’t chase what’s available; she carries what’s next. Multiple fashion outlets reporting on set looks reference a white Celine bag from a 2026 collection context.
17. Bottega Veneta Andiamo (Travertine)
The Andiamo is modern heirloom energy: structured but not stiff, iconic but not loud, made for a woman who moves through rooms like she owns the air in them. Bottega’s pricing depends on region; one official EU listing shows Andiamo at €4,800.
18. Jil Sander Eldorado Medium
The Eldorado reads like the “anti-it bag” it bag: elegant lines, minimal branding, a slightly curved base that feels architectural rather than decorative. Jil Sander’s official product page positions it as a medium leather shoulder bag with a jewel buckle; retail pricing tends to land in the high-$2K range depending on market.
19. Berluti E’Mio Punto A Mano briefcase (Appennini)
If Nigel’s style is a thesis, this is the footnote that proves it. Berluti lists the E’Mio Punto A Mano briefcase at €4,750—pure “craft, not trend.” It’s the kind of men’s bag that feels like a career milestone.
20. Pinel et Pinel violet clutch (archival / returning)
This one functions like a collector’s wink: hard to find, vaguely legendary, the sort of clutch that makes sense for a character who treats accessories like trophies. Current availability is limited, but it’s been repeatedly flagged by fashion spotters as part of the film’s bag universe.
21. Not Another Bill garment bag
A garment bag on screen is a message: travel is work, and fashion is infrastructure. The brand lists a standard garment bag at £100, which tracks with its “practical luxury” positioning—useful, neat, quietly premium.
22. Bric’s Milano / Bric’s Bellagio carry-on
This is the travel object that reads instantly as “fashion person”: hard shell, leather accents, old-school trunk romance in a modern format. Pricing varies by model, but Bric’s lists a Bellagio 21″ spinner carry-on at $725.
23. Dellaluna Venezia — Virna Clutch in Taupe
In a new promotional still, Miranda Priestly appears to carry the Dellaluna Virna Clutch in Taupe—a piece that feels less like an accessory and more like a quiet decree. The silhouette is deliberately architectural: a slim, elongated clutch with a sculpted top handle, finished in a soft taupe that reads “expensive” without relying on contrast or shine. It’s the kind of neutral that doesn’t soften her authority—it refines it.
Dellaluna describes the Virna as a design inspired by the glamour of Italian cinema’s golden era, handcrafted in Togo leather and finished with the brand’s signature 18k gold-plated Leoni hardware—a detail that catches light like a controlled glint rather than a statement. A removable strap makes it functionally versatile – crossbody by day, clutch by night.
Price note: set accounts have cited the taupe version around $1,665, while Dellaluna lists the Virna at €1,400 on its site (pricing can vary by region and currency).
24. Dolce & Gabbana — Medium Animal Print Marlene Shoulder Bag
For Miranda’s front-row moment at Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2026 show in Milan, the accessory choice is deliberately pointed: the Medium Marlene in animal print (est. $2,795) reads like a controlled flash of instinct beneath her famously calibrated polish. The Marlene’s appeal is its clean, structured rectangle—a silhouette that stays disciplined even when the surface turns wild. In product descriptions across retailers, the Marlene is consistently defined by its flap-top construction, a turn-lock closure, gold-tone hardware, and a chain strap—classic evening architecture engineered to sit close to the body and photograph crisply from every angle.
What makes it Miranda rather than “just leopard” is the contrast: animal print, but framed and finished like a piece of tailoring—the pattern becomes punctuation, not noise. In the context of the sequel, it also lands as a subtle meta wink: the production filmed in character during the Dolce & Gabbana runway show, which the house confirmed will appear in the film—so the bag functions as both wardrobe and narrative signifier, the kind of fashion-world inside joke the Devil Wears Prada universe is built on.
25. Warp Hexella Accordion in Oxblood
In a high-rise office scene, Miranda holds a dark, structured handbag with a trapezoidal silhouette and angular, faceted leather panels—the kind of piece that reads as a decision rather than an accessory. It’s the Warp Hexella Accordion in Oxblood, and it’s arguably the most quietly radical bag in her entire lineup.
Warp builds the Hexella from its signature matte goat-skin leather, assembling dozens of protruding triangles by hand so the surface catches light in facets rather than sheen.
Price note: the Hexella Accordion in Oxblood is listed at $550 on Warp’s site—making it, remarkably, the most accessible bag in Miranda’s edit, and the one that says the most with the least.
26. Alexis Bittar The Pouf Faux-Fur Clutch in Wine
The Pouf is firmly the second kind. Carried in a busy front-row scene, its deep wine faux-fur body reads as tactile luxury from across a crowded room—soft, saturated, deliberately unserious in the best way.
Alexis Bittar builds the Pouf around a sculptural, hand-finished Lucite frame inspired by Art Deco lines—a lustrous ribbed top that suspends the pillowy fur body beneath it. It’s the designer’s jewelry DNA translated into a bag: the frame functions almost like an oversized piece of hardware, graphic and glossy against the plush texture. That contrast of hard and soft is what makes it work on screen; it’s playful without tipping into costume.
Price note: Alexis Bittar lists the Pouf Clutch around $495 at retail, positioning it as one of the more attainable statement pieces in the film’s evening-bag rotation.
27. Balmain Medium Anthem in Custom Denim
Styled with a head-to-toe denim look inside an ornate palace interior, the Balmain Anthem appears here in a custom or unreleased denim treatment—a soft, slouchy pouch cinched by Balmain’s signature oversized belt-and-buckle front detail.
Price note: the denim version appears to be a custom or unreleased piece made for the film; the Anthem is more commonly seen in leather, so the black-and-gold colorway pictured serves as the closest available reference point.
28. Fendi Gemstone-Embellished Baguette
The Baguette is the original it bag, so when the sequel reaches for one, it reaches for maximum craft. Carried against a leopard-print look, this Baguette is encrusted with green and amber gemstones and beadwork scattered across a dark tweed base, with the signature FF clasp anchoring the front like a jewel in its own setting.
Price note: heavily embellished Baguettes of this kind sit at the top of Fendi’s range; exact pricing varies by the specific embroidery and stonework, and pieces like this are frequently produced in limited runs.
29. Giorgio Armani La Prima Satin and Opal Rhinestone Clutch in Silver
Armani’s La Prima is evening dressing distilled to a single, disciplined line. In its silver satin and opal rhinestone iteration, it works as pure light-catcher—an elongated, gently sculptural clutch whose entire surface is worked in tonal crystal, so it glows rather than glitters.
Price note: Giorgio Armani lists the La Prima satin and opal rhinestone clutch in silver at $2,795 on its official site.
30. Chloé Small Bracelet Hobo
Under Chemena Kamali, Chloé has rebuilt its identity on archival softness—and the Bracelet Hobo is the thesis piece. In a warm beige leather, the rounded, supple body slouches naturally while a rigid bracelet ring handle, finished with stacked two-toned rings at the ends, holds it in the hand or on the shoulder like a piece of jewelry you happen to be carrying.
Inspired by the Maison’s own archives, the bag is crafted from shiny grained calfskin with a split-calfskin lining, a single main compartment, and a removable strap that lets it shift from hand to crossbody. It’s boho refined into something quietly expensive—the kind of 1970s-adjacent ease that reads as effortless on camera precisely because the construction underneath it is anything but casual.
Price note: Chloé lists Small Bracelet Hobo styles from roughly $3,138 to $3,800 depending on leather and finish; the grained-calfskin versions sit in the mid-$3,000s.
31. Balenciaga Le Cagole Carry All in Black Agneau
If the sequel has a “downtown armor” entry, this is it. Glimpsed in an airplane scene, the Le Cagole Carry All is all attitude: black lambskin (agneau) worked with a lived-in, crackled finish, studded hardware, buckles, and a front zip pocket that give it that unmistakable Balenciaga edge.
Price note: pricing on the Le Cagole Carry All varies by size and market; Balenciaga positions the agneau versions in the premium tier of the Le Cagole line.
32. Bottega Veneta Andiamo Clutch
Bottega’s whole modern philosophy is craft over logo, and the Andiamo Clutch is that idea in the palm of a hand. Held in a striped-jacket look, this elongated top-handle clutch is worked entirely in the house’s signature Intrecciato weave, finished with the brand’s metallic knot closure—a piece of hardware that doubles as the only “branding” it needs.
Price note: Bottega Veneta lists the Andiamo Intrecciato leather clutch at around $3,140 at retail, with regional variation.
33. Dries Van Noten Spring/Summer 2025 Jacquard Clutch in Purple
A jacquard clutch in a film this logo-averse functions as a connoisseur’s signal: you either recognize the craftsmanship or you don’t. This Dries Van Noten piece, from the house’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, arrives in a swirling purple, red, and metallic jacquard—a soft, foldover frame clutch whose entire surface is a woven textile artwork.
Price note: as a seasonal Spring/Summer 2025 runway piece, availability is limited to that collection’s production; textile clutches of this kind typically sit in the low four figures.
34. Fendi Peekaboo Soft Large
The Peekaboo has been a Fendi cornerstone since 2009, built on a simple idea—the bag that reveals its beautiful interior when it opens, like the children’s game it’s named for. In the Peekaboo Soft Large, seen with a painterly print coat, that concept goes relaxed: a slouchier body, a pronounced front “smile,” and here a striking striped tan-and-brown leather treatment that turns the panel into graphic chevrons.
First shown at the Fall/Winter 2024–25 show, the Soft is engineered as much as it’s designed: a leather-covered aluminium bar lightens the weight, the suede-lined interior splits into two compartments, and the iconic twist lock sits on both sides. The adjustable handle lets it move from hand to shoulder. It’s the Peekaboo at its most wearable and its most collectible at once—a serious bag that still photographs with softness and movement.
Price note: the Peekaboo Soft Large is listed in the region of $6,100–$7,200 depending on leather and finish, placing it firmly among the film’s investment pieces.
35. Hermès Birkin Bandana Embroidered, Customised by Jay Ahr
This is the single most collectible object in the entire edit—and one of the only bags on this list that’s genuinely one-of-a-kind. Carried on a blue carpet with knee-high boots, it’s a Birkin transformed by artist Jonathan Riss under his label Jay Ahr, its surface entirely re-worked in black-and-white bandana paisley embroidery.
The Jay Ahr process is the story here: each bag is a vintage Hermès Birkin that’s completely deconstructed, hand-embroidered, and sewn back together using the original yarn—a process that can take up to a year per bag, done in full independence from Hermès. The bandana motif itself carries weight; the paisley derives from the boteh, a two-thousand-year-old symbol of life, which Jay Ahr reframes as a comment on identity and multiculturalism. The result is fashion-as-art: an icon rendered singular. It’s the ultimate insider flex—a Birkin that no amount of money can simply order.
Price note: as a one-of-a-kind artist-customised piece, it’s priced by enquiry on the collector market, where Jay Ahr Bandana Birkins have commanded well into five figures.
36. Etro Medium Leather Pony Bag in Burgundy
Etro’s revival has leaned on heritage codes made modern, and the Pony is the clearest proof. In a rich burgundy, styled with a matching leather look, the Medium Pony is soft-structured and fluid—a bag that slouches with intention while a functional buckle keeps it disciplined.
Presented at Etro’s Fall/Winter 2025 show, the Pony carries the house’s signatures without shouting them: a magnetic-button closure embossed with the ETRO logo and Pegaso symbol (engraved using coin-minting techniques), a second functional metal buckle, and interchangeable handles and straps finished with Paisley-patterned detail at the clasps. The tonal burgundy makes those craft details the focus, and the plain leather surface photographs as depth and warmth rather than flash. It’s heritage worn lightly—exactly the register the sequel’s styling favors.
37. Giorgio Armani La Prima Satin and Multicoloured Rhinestone Clutch in Gold
The gold sibling to the silver La Prima trades tonal restraint for warm, jewel-box richness. Worked in satin and multicoloured rhinestones over a gold base, this runway iteration of the La Prima catches light in shifting hues—the same elongated, architectural silhouette, dialed up into something closer to fine jewelry.
Price note: the La Prima satin and multicoloured rhinestone clutch in gold is a runway piece listed around $3,395 (approximately €2,700), higher than the opal-silver version in keeping with its more elaborate stonework.
38. Hermès Kelly 20 with Custom Embroidery and Woven Leather
The edit closes on a second one-of-a-kind Hermès—proof that in this film, the rarest bags do the quietest talking. Held in an off-the-shoulder knit look, this is a miniature Kelly 20 entirely reworked in woven tan leather with custom detailing, the classic Kelly architecture translated into an intricate, hand-worked basket-like surface finished with a leather tassel.
Price note: as a custom-embroidered, woven-leather Kelly 20, it exists as a one-off collector’s piece priced by enquiry, well above standard Kelly 20 retail.
39. Celine Nano Belt Bag in Beige Grained Calfskin
After a run of one-of-a-kind rarities, the edit lands on something deliberately grounded: pure, logo-free minimalism. Spotted in an outdoor terrace scene, the Celine Nano Belt Bag in beige grained calfskin is quiet luxury in its most literal form—a structured, winged silhouette defined entirely by proportion and leather quality.
The Belt Bag’s signature is that trapeze shape with its softly flared “wings” and the self-tie belt knot at the front, finished with a top handle and a removable, adjustable strap for hand, shoulder, or crossbody carry. In neutral beige with gold hardware and a matching suede interior, it’s the antithesis of a statement bag—which is the statement. It reads as the choice of someone with nothing to prove, the kind of understated authority the film’s most powerful characters wear best.
Price note: Celine lists the Nano Belt Bag in grained calfskin at $2,450 on its official site.
Storage & preservation: keeping these materials camera-perfect for years
Because you’re publishing this on LaForma.club, it’s worth saying out loud: the materials in this sequel are high-maintenance in the best way.
Suede fringe (Valentino) benefits from shape support and zero compression—fringe bends permanently if it’s crushed in a tight closet. Beaded pieces (Fendi) should be stored so the beadwork isn’t taking weight against a shelf. Patent (Khaite) needs breathable separation to avoid imprinting, and metal/mesh styles (Rabanne) do best when they’re supported internally so the structure doesn’t sag over time.
