Irene Wan Says She Has "Countless" Designer Bags; Will Keep Growing Her Collection

Back in the ‘90s, actress Irene Wan was one of Hong Kong’s biggest screen goddess.

After tying the knot with Hong Kong tycoon Kenneth Ho in 2000, she took a step back from showbiz and has been living the crazy, rich Asian life. The couple have a teenage son, Xavier, whom they adopted.

The 57-year-old would make the occasional appearance in dramas or movies, and regularly takes to Douyin to share snippets of her tai tai life with followers.

Recently, Irene gave fans a glimpse into her walk-in wardrobe, where she modelled some of her favourite pieces, including sultry looks that she styled and wore as Hoi Chiu in 1992 TVB drama Vengeance, one of her most popular roles.

In another video, she showcased her impressive designer bag collection, which contains a lot of Chanel, Gucci and Dior pieces, many of them limited-edition designs.

In fact, there were so many purses that they filled her living room.

No, for real.

Irene shared that a lot of the purses hold special memories, like a floral Dior bowling bag that she used to carry on dates with her hubby.

These Celine and Dolce & Gabbana bags (pictured below), which were gifted by her hubby also have a special place in her heart.

“He usually gives me jewellery, rarely bags, so I cherish the purses he gives me,” said Irene.

Over the years, Irene has donated and given many bags away.

Her collection, she said, is "countless".

But that hasn't stopped her from acquiring more. 

One of her most recent purchases is a stylish black Dior backpack.

She also gifted her personal assistant a similar design for New Year's. 

“One reason I bought this bag is ‘cos my assistant likes it too, so I gave her one as a New Year’s present. I think gifting someone a bag is a happy thing," said Irene.
