Is Lauren Sanchez Carrying Coffee Cup Worth ₹5 Lakh? Or Is It A Bag?
At first glance, it looked like Lauren Sanchez Bezos was simply sipping on her morning brew at Paris Couture Week. But a closer look revealed it wasn't just any coffee cup; it was a jaw-dropping, high-fashion Balenciaga clutch. Yes, you read that right. A coffee cup... that's actually a designer handbag.
Lauren’s sleek look and the bag that stole the spotlight
Lauren, along with Katy Perry, Vittoria Ceretti, Natasha Poonawalla, and Patrick Schwarzenegger, graced the Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2026 Fashion Show at Paris Fashion Week. For the event, the former journalist donned a chic all-black midi ensemble, complemented with diamond studs, black sunglasses, and sharp stiletto heels.
While her tailored Balenciaga coat dress grabbed eyeballs, it was her quickly looking bag that made headlines.
Clutched in her hand was none other than Balenciaga's 9 AM Clutch. It is a luxury leather accessory that's cleverly shaped to look like a disposable coffee cup. But make no mistake, this is no ordinary to-go tumbler. First introduced in 2022 and debuted on the runway in Los Angeles during the brand’s Fall 2024 show, the bag is crafted from smooth calfskin leather with a metallic brass lid and a snap clasp.
How much does it cost?
And yes, the bag does come with a hefty price tag. As per reports, the coffee cup bag retails at $5,750, which is approximately Rs 4.93 lakh. But Lauren didn't just carry any version; hers was customised with her name on the side, making the designer 'cup' all the more personal and high-profile. She previously carried the same quirky accessory during her wedding prep in April and now brought it back for fashion's biggest stage.
