Olivia Attwood flaunts £26k designer bag post-wild birthday before US trip

Olivia Attwood seems to be living it up in style, having splurged on a handbag that costs nearly as much as many Brits earn in a year.

The purchase, which equates to about eight months’ wages for the typical employee, was made by Olivia just a few months shy of her 35th birthday.

Posting photos online, Olivia shared: “Got this beauty in Paris back in Jan, and today she’s making her debut,” followed by: “Bringing her on a little trip.”

The ex-Love Island star is continuing her birthday festivities by flying to the US, taking her latest handbag acquisition along.

The £26k Hermès Birkin Olivia traveled with seems to be a Birkin 30 in Rouge H leather with palladium accents – a highly coveted design by the fashion brand.

Birkin bags are notoriously hard to purchase, with potential buyers often facing years of waiting lists and needing a solid purchase history with Hermès to even be considered for one.

The glamorous star celebrated her birthday over the weekend by throwing what she described as “Olivia’s Birthday Bash” with friends.

The TV personality beamed in a green outfit as she received a birthday cake adorned with the phrase “Another lap around the sun” next to a naked Barbie doll.

There was no sign of rumored beau Pete Wicks in the official images Olivia posted.

However, sharp-eyed followers noticed him in Olivia’s vlog from the evening, smiling in the reflection of a mirror.

Longtime close friends and on-air partners Olivia and Pete were seen kissing in a trendy Soho bar earlier this year before heading off to France for a private getaway last month.

An insider familiar with the duo previously mentioned they are “seeing each other and making the most of their time together.”
