Madonna’s summer getaway to the Greek islands has attracted plenty of attention, from her celebrations in Corfu to her visit to Patmos. But alongside the singer’s holiday photos, one unexpected fashion detail has also caught the eye: her vintage handbag.
The 68 year old pop icon shared photos and videos from Patmos with her millions of followers, showcasing the island’s landscapes and moments with her son, Rocco. In several of the images, Madonna can be seen carrying a distinctive summer bag.
The handbag has a charming retro design. It is a small box style basket bag featuring brown and white woven material, a top handle and playful decorations consisting of plastic cherries and green leaves. The design combines wood, woven rattan and plastic, giving it a distinctly nostalgic summer look.
Rather than being a contemporary luxury fashion piece, the bag appears to be a vintage item dating back to the 1950s. An Etsy listing describes it as a vintage box bag made from white woven plastic and natural coloured rattan, decorated with plastic cherries and imitation silk leaves.
The handbag reportedly sold for around €90 to €100 and quickly attracted attention after being spotted in Madonna’s Patmos photos. The exact origins of Madonna’s particular bag remain unclear, including whether she purchased it herself or had owned it for years.
Interest in the vintage accessory has already pushed demand higher. One Etsy listing from an Australian seller is sold out, while another listing has reportedly had only limited stock available.
Madonna’s Patmos holiday has therefore delivered an unexpected fashion moment, proving once again that a carefully chosen vintage accessory can attract as much attention as a designer label.
