Just a fun challenge I thought of while watching the first season of Dirty John last night. If you aren't familiar (I won't spoil anything because it's such a good show!!), one of the characters (based on a true story) is a handbag lover, and some of the subplots revolve around handbags!!! I can't speak to how accurate the portrayal outside of the handbags are, but in every scene, this character is carrying an iconic bag from Givency, Céline, or Balengencia (so far) although I haven't been able to tell if they are authentic.

Beyond SATC, what are some other shows with great handbags? I read recently that the actress who played Lilly in Gossip Girl actually used her own Hermes bags, so I do wonder how shows would get the budget for real designer bags.
 
OMG, The Good Wife and Scandal (Prada, Prada, Prada). As a lawyer, my whole sense of style came from the main character in that show. It didn’t just have Prada, it had some actually accessible bags that a lawyer might actually wear. Longchamp leather, Furla, etc. I love anything dark and structured!

Sweet Magnolias on Netflix has some great bags. I saw a Chloe saddle bag and a Balenciaga city bag but I couldn't identify everything myself but it's fun because the characters have different bags and outfits in almost every scene. If they were real people they would have a whole closet full of bags
 
Netflix Dirty John Season I. The main character had a safe for her stored handbags. She and her daughter constantly wore these bags throughout season. At one point, the daughter sells her handbag to fund a private detective... I can't remember if it was Chanel or Hermes.

The second most popular...Real Housewives franchise. Hollywood, NY and Atlanta are full of Gucci, Chanel, Hermes sightings.

Honestly, one of the reasons why I used to watch these shows. I liked to oogle the shoes and handbags.
 
My personal experience:

SATC, Suits, Hermes, Korean Drama Shows, The Bold Type, Gossip Girl, RHOBH (Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Schitts Creek, The Rachel Zoe Project, Ugly Betty, Mindy Project and the old show Selling New York (HGTV). Some of these shows are on streaming, yt, apple store, bravo app, and etc.

Selling sunset on Netflix. Christine seems to favor LV. I think I saw an exotic capuchines (a green and a also pink maybe?). And a bleecker box. Mary loves her alma bb! And a cute see through Fendi tote.
Oh, and Heather had the new LV milla tote (MM I think) when she visited the art gallery.
