Jennifer Lopez stirs up controversy with her bag purchase: It’s like carrying my annual salary

Jennifer Lopez is demonstrating that she truly has her summer wardrobe figured out!

The singer and actress was photographed shopping in the Hamptons on Saturday, July 13, together with her stepdaughter Violet Affleck. She was carrying a brown leather and straw Hermès Kelly picnic bag.

A TikTok user posted a video of the 55-year-old Lopez leaving a store with the bag resting on her arm. The uploader mentioned that the bag is worth $70,000 in a pre-owned form.

Since then, the video has gone viral, gaining 1.2 million views and sparking discussions about the expensive bag.

Someone said, «Wearing my annual salary.» Another remark said, «You can buy that purse on the street in Fiji for $5.»

«Omg the price is ridiculous, the purse is just a strip of leather and the basket is basically some dried corn husk in a braid,» a different person posted.

While some quickly criticized the bag’s price tag, others made a different argument, pointing out that the artist had the right to use her own funds.

«It’s unbelievable how stunning she still is. And to her, seventy-k is nothing. She deserves the wealth. And that bag is on fire,» a commenter said.

«It’s her money,» someone else said. Another remark said, «I would buy it too if I had the money.»

Another person said, «She can buy whatever she damn wants, too.» Another person retorted, «JLo is gorgeous, no matter what anyone says.»
