Delhi-based art connoisseur and socialite Shalini Passi is making waves not only in social circles but also as a style icon, especially after her appearance on Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives.
Her head-turning looks include striking outfits accessorised with bags that are as quirky as they are luxurious. Recently, she was spotted at the Tira store launch in Mumbai with an alien head-shaped bag, once again proving her knack for pushing fashion boundaries.
Her impressive collection of unique bags, however, doesn’t come cheap. With each piece more elaborate than the next, her collection reflects her taste for the extraordinary and her willingness to invest in unique designer pieces.
During her appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, Shalini paired a bright yellow gown with a bold, retro-style silver phone clutch. Judith Leiber Couture’s ‘Brick Phone’ clutch, inspired by the ‘80s cell phones, is studded with sparkling crystals and features a fun “Call Me” motif on the back. Priced at $7,280.83 (approximately ₹600,000), it makes a playful yet luxurious statement.
In an episode of Fabulous Lives, Shalini sported a flamingo clutch, also from Judith Leiber Couture, adorned with soft pink crystals. Perfectly suited for spring and winter styles alike, this stunning accessory comes with a price tag of SAR 24,461 (around ₹5,400,000).
One of Shalini’s iconic pieces is a crystal-studded clutch in the shape of a vintage click camera. This Judith Leiber Couture creation is encrusted with champagne-coloured crystals and costs around $5,995 (approximately ₹500,000). The bag captures the nostalgia of old-school cameras while seamlessly blending fashion with art.
Shalini has also showcased a bag designed to look like a vintage television set, complete with crystal knobs, dials, and a TV test screen. This nostalgic yet dazzling piece is priced at SAR 37,644 (roughly ₹830,000), making it one of the pricier items in her collection.
In another unforgettable moment, Shalini was seen with the Judith Leiber Couture Carnegie Hall Crystal Harp Clutch. Crafted with black, gold, champagne, and mother-of-pearl Austrian crystals, this elegant piece has a simple top button that reveals a gold-leather lining. Valued at $3,600 (approximately ₹297,000), this clutch adds a refined touch to her eclectic style.
Shalini’s collection doesn’t stop there; she’s also known for carrying bags shaped like jellyfish, teddy bears, parrots, roses, and even dogs. Her ever-growing collection of statement accessories reflects her fearless approach to fashion and her eye for whimsical luxury. Whether on-screen or at high-profile events, Shalini Passi’s style stands out as a vibrant expression of creativity, making her one of Delhi’s most talked-about fashion icons.
