Olsen Necessities

Although they change their styles regularly, there are certain items that have been long associated with each Olsen and one with both.

MK’s Red Chanel

Mary Kate Olsen loves a red Chanel 2.55 so much she even wrote an article for the New York Times about it! She claims it was Ashley’s but I’ve yet to find a picture of her with it.


Brand Loyalty
By Mary Kate Olsen

“I have a large, red quilted Chanel bag that I borrowed from my sister Ashley. I wore it to an event and never gave it back. Luckily, she's moved on to another bag, so I'm safe for now. I'm not quite sure how many bags I have, but let's just say I have a few. When I find a bag I like, I tend to wear it to death until I become obsessed with another one. This probably happens three to five times a year. But I always come back to the Chanel. The size isn't overwhelming, and it has enough subtle detail to keep it interesting.

I also have the smaller version in blue and in white, but the red is definitely my favorite. I don't have a stylist — I'd rather just do my own thing and put together my own outfits. The chain-handle bag is the perfect accent to almost any combination I come up with. I look at everything with a designer's eye, but I wouldn't change a thing about this bag. I think that's why it's a true classic.”

Ash’s Black Fendi

Ashley instead has long been seen with a black Fendi tote but she has yet to write a love letter to it.



Starbucks



And of course, Mary Kate & Ashley cannot live without a Venti cup from Starbucks. They run on coffee, not water, didn’t you know?
