Ameesha Patel, known for her on-screen presence and latest comeback with Gadar 2, lives a life just as dazzling off-screen. The actress, who made her debut in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, owns a handbag collection so queen-size that it could rival the cost of a luxury penthouse in Mumbai. In a recent home tour with Farah Khan, it was revealed that Ameesha has between 300 to 400 luxury designer bags, some of which cost up to Rs 3 crore each. Her obsession with handbags isn’t just recent, it started when she was just 12 years old.

Ameesha Patel's insane luxurious handbag collections

Yes, you read it right! The actress, who hails from a well-established South Bombay family with business and political roots, has been collecting high-end fashion accessories for decades. During Farah Khan’s visit to her home for a YouTube vlog, the filmmaker expressed complete surprise at the scale of the collection, admitting she had never seen Ameesha repeat a single handbag in public. Ameesha responded that she has such a large collection, it's impossible to wear the same one twice.

One section of the house is entirely dedicated to Birkin bags, considered among the most exclusive and expensive handbags in the world. According to Farah, the cupboard filled with Birkins alone looked like a designer boutique. Some of these bags cost between Rs 2 to Rs 3 crore. Ameesha even keeps an organised list inside the cupboard with the names and colours of the bags, neatly arranged shelf by shelf. She has a different drawers for slings and clutches.


Apart from bags, the actress is also a collector of luxury watches and has a similarly elaborate shoe wardrobe. She revealed shelves full of night-out footwear from brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, all arranged by colour, reds, silvers, blues, and greens. Each pair reportedly costs anywhere from Rs 80,000 to over Rs 1 lakh.

In a light-hearted moment, Ameesha joked that if she didn’t spend so much on bags, she could have bought herself a Mumbai penthouse by now. She told Farah that her fashion indulgence, though expensive, is her biggest joy, and one she doesn’t regret.

Farah was especially fascinated by a rare tricolour Dior bag and several Bottega Veneta totes, including one worth Rs 5.8 lakh that she jokingly said could be mistaken for a vegetable shopping bag due to its large size. Ameesha laughed, adding that people often tease her for carrying bags bigger than herself.

The tour also revealed cupboards full of Chanel bags, each with its own dust cover. Ameesha admitted that most of her collection consists of limited-edition pieces. She said designers from India and abroad often contact her directly when exclusive bags arrive, knowing she is a serious collector.

Despite owning hundreds of handbags, Ameesha confessed that many are used only once a year, as she rotates them in her wardrobe. “They get their turn once annually,” she said, smiling.

Her passion for luxury fashion is not just about appearances.
