August’s arrival is the home stretch of summer, with the month one of the final moments to escape to some blissful part of the Mediterranean and soak in the last of the scorching temperatures and blue skies. For some, this means checking off one of the many European summer destinations that have been beckoning to us all season. For others, it might mean making the most of this unceremoniously British weather and taking a weekend break to Brighton or Margate. For Kate Moss, however, it means making her annual pilgrimage to the Balearic Islands and putting on quite the spectacle whilst she’s there.
Touching down in Formentera earlier today, the supermodel proved that one’s travel wardrobe need not be limited to whatever you can fit under the seat of your EasyJet flight. Arriving with a coterie of designer accessories, she docked on the port carrying a suite of Hermès bags worth upwards of £50,000. Talk about travelling in style.

In a move that would certainly earn Jane Birkin’s seal of approval—after all, Jean-Louis Dumas was inspired to create the Hermès Birkin after the French actress lamented to him on a flight that her trademark basket bag wasn’t fit to carry all her belongings—Moss stepped out with a Birkin crammed into her left side and a Kelly slung over her shoulder. A girl can only, truly, dream.

Of course, would we expect anything less from fashion’s biggest rock star, Kate Moss? After all, this is the woman who has been wearing pirate boots since the ‘90s, made Hunter Wellingtons a cult item and, at least on one occasion, hung outside of a building window whilst smoking a cigarette. Still, it’s quite refreshing to see something so opulent be used as it’s actually intended to.
To complete the look, she also broke another unofficial style rule by wearing all-black, opting for a sheer dress and French-inspired patent ballet flats. Still, this isn’t the first time the 52-year-old has made headlines, both for her innovative use of an Hermes leather good or unconventional approach to summer holiday dressing.
This time last year, Moss was pictured using a Kelly bag as her beach tote, leaving the bag open as she strolled through the sand with her daughter, Lila. Time will only tell how she will repurpose her collection of luxury items for this trip. But if this is any indication, we wouldn’t be surprised to see her use this to carry around her souvenirs next.
