Drake recently showed off his gigantic Toronto mansion and it’s definitely been a revelation, to say the least. The 50,000 square foot home which he calls “The Embassy” contains, among other things, an NBA regulation-size basketball court, a chandelier made from 20,000 Swarovski crystals, and a bed that weighs around a ton.
However, perhaps one of the bigger revelations is that Drake has been collecting Hermès Birkin bags he plans to one day give to his future wife. “Equally dramatic is Drake’s two-story closet, adorned with amethyst hardware, rock crystal, and seating upholstered in diamond-tufted shearling with polished nickel studs,” Architectural Digest reports. “It’s the perfect place to display the musician’s extensive wardrobe, sneaker collection, and the array of precious Hermès Birkin bags that he has been amassing for years.”
While Drake doesn’t speak to who exactly the bags are for in this latest story, he has spoken about the subject in the past. He told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017 that the collection of expensive handbags (they can range in cost from $12,000 to over $300,000) was for “the woman I end up with.” The Birkin, named for actress Jane Birkin, is one of the most coveted handbags on the planet. Not only are they incredibly expensive, but they are also not produced en masse and can be a considered a formidable investment. We can only imagine how much Drake’s current collection is worth.
Check out the stash below.
Drake, who has been linked to Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez in the past, is one of those celebrities that can instantly create a massive social media conversation—and his house (and the Birkins held within it) definitely had people in their feelings on Twitter. “Drake collecting Birkin bags for his future wife is such a Drake thing to do,” one person wrote.
“Wait… does drake keep Birkin bags on his tables like mints?” another tweeted.
Now, all we want to know is exactly how many Birkins are currently in that collection—and if it rivals Kris Jenner’s Birkin closet.
