Paris Hilton was trying to hide from the paparazzi by donning several disguises while in Paris. She wasn’t very successful though as the paps still recognized her along with a LOT of people on the street.
Gee Paris, I don’t know, maybe it was the big, burly bodyguards, the “look-at-me” oversized sunglasses or the fact that Nicky Hilton was walking beside you that gave you away?
Anyway, aside from Paris Hilton’s interesting attempts at disguising herself, another interesting item in her pictures is her crystal leopard print messenger bag. It’s leopard print, but crystallized!
Digitalized, almost pixelated leopard print – what a cool take on the leopard print trend! The print formed by crystal studs looks very much like leopard spots when viewed from afar but it’s a little harder to decipher up close (check out the product images at the link at the end of this post).
This bag inspired a search for other cross body bags with new, interesting twists to the leopard print and these are the three that I found:

- Foley + Corinna Disco City Bag, $215.00. Bleached out leopard print – it kinda looks like it’s right side out.
- Brighton Haute Spots Mini Bag, $115.00. Happy rainbow-colored leopard spots!
- Dan W Jeweled Leopard Cross Body, $49.99 (was $100.00). Whitish leopard print bedecked with jewels.
Sometimes, the leopard print can look really old so I find these purses really refreshing to look at.
Paris Hilton’s own bag is the Balmain Crystal Leopard Suede Shoulder Bag. It’s € 1691.34 (curently 20% off) at LuisaViaRoma.
