I think Bagwati was the most adorable character from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobaara! With a pair of sunglasses and hat, she was literally brought to life. I was re-watching this movie yesterday and realized it ought to be on these pages of BagsLounge.

This bag is none other than the iconic Hermes Kelly in Ostrich skin.

Ostrich leather is quite expensive coming next to alligator/crocodile skins. Apparently, the ‘marks’ seen on the ostrich skin are where its feathers were plucked out from. The movie spells out its price at € 12,000, which could have easily gone up in the present day.

Bollywood seems to be coming of age and embracing such classic handbags in its reels. Sonam Kapoor was seen with Ferragamo and Lady Dior bags in Aisha:

Retreating back a few more years, we might recollect the Louis Vuitton briefcase carried by Saif in Kal Ho Na Ho:

I hope more of these bags enter mainstream Indian cinema, which has an efficient influence on society, and create greater brand awareness on handbags. Am watching Bollywood movies with an ever keener eye now!
