Alexa Chung’s got one, so has singer Lana Del Ray, but it was Grace Kelly who sparked the trend.

They’re all famous faces bestowed with the honour of having a bag named after them.

Hermes Kelly was renamed when the Princess of Monaco, nee Grace Kelly, was photographed obscuring her baby bump with the bag in 1956 and the brand’s iconic Birkin followed in the Eighties, named after singer Jane Birkin.

More recently Mulberry has jumped on the star muse style bandwagon, christening bags “Alexa” and “Del Ray” after their celebrity ambassadors.

If a fashion brand isn’t begging you for your surname to brandish on its accessories, there are other ways to bespoke your style.

Think embossed lettering, initials or even your name splashed over your soles.

A personalised piece is a surefire way to stand out from the fashion pack. But the real bonus? The more individual your accessory, the less likely your sister/friend/daughter will want to borrow it.

Satchel chic:

Put anonymity in detention with a bag sporting your name or initials. From traditional tan to fluoro pink, the Cambridge Satchel Company’s hand-made leather bags can be embossed at £5 per letter (maximum £20) in one of four chosen font colours.
