  • Drake revealed in 2017 that he's been collecting Hermès Birkin bags for years for his future spouse.

  • A new Architectural Digest shoot reveals a peek at the collection, which is on display in his closet in his Toronto home.


Update, 4/8/2020:

Almost three years ago, Drake revealed in an interview that he'd been collecting Birkin bags for years for "the woman I end up with." The revelation sent fans buzzing, but the fabled purse arsenal was kept out of sight … until now.

In an Architectural Digest cover story featuring the rapper’s Toronto mansion, his stock of luxe accessories finally makes its public debut. The Hermès pieces are carefully displayed in Drake’s two-story closet (yes, two-story), which is “adorned with amethyst hardware, rock crystal, and seating upholstered in diamond-tufted shearling with polished nickel studs,” according to AD.

One photo shows three bags—in neutral crocodile, golden crocodile, and black and white—sitting atop a cabinet. But, if you zoom into the reflections in the mirror, you’ll notice there are actually shelves full of more pieces on the wall to the left. Mind you, these are some of the rarest and most expensive bags in the world, with prices ranging from $40,000 to $500,000 each.

"It’s overwhelming high luxury," Drake said of the feel of his 50,000-square-foot-abode. "That message is delivered through the size of the rooms and the materials and details of the floors and the ceilings." With shelves full of bags that cost more than the average car, that message has certainly been received.


Original story, 11/8/2017:

Drake is still a single guy (as far as we know), but he's ready to shower his future wife with gifts. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the rapper revealed that he's already stocking up on Hermès Birkin bags for The One, whoever she ends up being.

Drizzy (née Aubrey Graham) "deflected questions about his love life," but he left us with this very important nugget of information instead:

He reveals that he has been collecting Birkin bags for years, a gift for "the woman I end up with."

To that, we respond with the famous Rihanna-ism: "When he extra!!" But we also can't help but wonder: Does Drizzy buy each bag himself? Does he personalize any of the designs? How many bags does he have? Where does he keep them? Does he ever get super impatient and just secretly use one of them for himself? Is this what his Jane Birkin reference in "Tell Your Friends" was about? Or his "Hermès link" lyric in "Gyalchester"? The list goes on.

With a growing stash of these luxury handbags—which can cost up to $380,000 and are reportedly a better investment than the stock market—Drake's future Mrs. is set for life in the accessories department. Now all he has to do is find her.
