All the Rare Himalayan Bags in Marian Rivera’s Collection
The actress owns not just one, not even two, but nine jaw-dropping Himalayan bags!

Suffice to say, Marian Rivera has a closet any style enthusiast would envy. And within the expansive walk-in closet of Preview’s Style Icon for 2023 lies the items the most devout fans have on their wishlist: the Himalayan bag.
Labeled as one of the “rarest” handbags the fashion world has to offer, the Himalayan was dubbed its name not because of its place of origin, but from its appearance. Crafted from the Nile crocodile hide, the bag’s exterior resembles snow-capped mountain peaks from the region.
The material has long been synonymous to rarity in handbags, and Marian is one of the lucky few who get to call not just one, not even two, but several pieces her own. Below, we take a look at the Himalayan bags she’s been spotted with.
The Rare Himalayan Bags That Marian Rivera Owns
1. Hermes Birkin
An Hermès Birkin is a rare find on its own, but with the Himalayan material, then it’s twice the elusiveness. Marian is one of the members of the exclusive roster of owners, which includes the likes of Jinkee Pacquiao and Heart Evangelista. The hard-to-get piece can cost buyers around 11 to 25 million—that is, if they can even spot one!

2. Louis Vuitton Petite Malle
Just a couple of days after flaunting her brand new Birkin purchase, the GMA star took to Instagram to flaunt another piece from her Himalayan collection: Louis Vuitton’s Petite Malle. With its gold hardware and rare hide, the trunk-like bag fetches for almost P1 million.

3. Louis Vuitton Capucines
Marian is a certified Capucines fan, so it’s no surprise that she has one in a Himalayan edition. The ultra-rare artisan-made bag has a price tag of around P935,000 on the secondhand market.

4. Lady Dior Crocodile Himalaya
In an exclusive Designer Faves video with Preview, the primetime celeb also shared one of her most-loved pieces—the Lady Dior in Crocodile Himalaya, which features its plush square-shaped silhouette. A similar type of bag currently goes for P1.2 million.
Fun fact: In the same clip, she shared that she hopes to keep collecting bags rendered in the same material. By the looks of things, it’s going quite well!

5. Fendi First
The GMA maven’s other tote of choice is the Fendi First, a modern piece distinguished by its oversized metal F clasp. To add a classic touch, Marian’s version comes in natural crocodile leather lined in soft nappa leather, which fetches a hefty price tag of P1.7 million.

6. Fendi Peekaboo
Fendi’s Peekaboo silhouette is made all the more iconic with its white crocodile variation, detailed by palladium-finish metalware and its classic twist. To have it in their personal collection, bag enthusiasts will have to shell out more than P1.7 million.

7. Bottega Veneta Knot
Understated with its rectangular shape, soft-rounded edges, and minimalist hardware, Bottega Veneta‘s Knot clutch makes the perfect accessory to any evening look. The Himalayan skin iteration, just like Marian’s, currently retails for about P1.2 million on the brand’s official website.

8. Delvaux Brillant
No purse embodies “quiet luxury” quite like Delvaux‘s crowd-favorite Brillant bag. Much like other coveted designer handbag silhouettes, the top handle also comes in an ultra-rare Himalayan skin version, which is priced at roughly P423,000 in the pre-loved market.

9. Moynat Gabrielle
Another top handle bag in her rotation is Moynat‘s iconic Gabrielle bag. A must-have among those in the know, the purse is actually quite difficult to come by. In fact, the exact purse owned by Marian is an incredibly rare piece. As of writing, the Moynat Gabrielle in Himalayan skin is currently unavailable online.
