Lionel Messi has been considered the greatest footballer of all time for several years now by most football fans, pundits, footballers, and former footballers. His legacy in the sport transcends pop culture and the lifestyles of many people, as they consider him a role model and strive to be as good as the Argentine. With more than 850 goals and 350 assists, Lionel Messi is a legend of the sport, and even though he’s no longer in his prime, we can still enjoy more of his football in the United States with Inter Miami because, sadly, these are his final years as a footballer.

Despite his enormous popularity, Messi isn’t known for a impressive fashion style or for being an extrovert. On the contrary, the Argentine star is very humble and quite shy, so it’s unusual to find news about anything he’s done or worn. He’s someone who doesn’t really realize how famous he is, but that’s what makes him great because he doesn’t let fame go to his head. Although, there have been cases where Messi appears with an accessory that gets internet users talking, like this one we’ll see here.

Messi recently returned to Argentina to join the Argentine national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches. In some of the photos of his arrival at the Ezeiza stadium in Buenos Aires, Messi was seen sporting a very elegant, yet expensive, bag, which has gotten many people talking about the accessory.

This bag is actually a Hermès Haut à Courroies Cargo Birkin 40, which doesn’t even appear in the French brand’s official collection. This exclusive bag is valued between €40,000 and $99,000. Prices vary; it can be found at Joli Closet for €40,000, and on 1stdibs, for $99,000, as mentioned earlier.

This bag has gained massive popularity lately, and now that Messi is using it, upcoming sales of this bag will skyrocket. Birkin bags, on the other hand, have always been popular since the 1980s and have become a symbol of wealth and were once seen as the rarest handbag in the world.

Like everything in the world, there have been those who think Messi looks good, just as there are those who think he looks bad or forced. Some have even mentioned that he has “drip”, which means that he looks quite good and fashionable. This also fits, in a way, with what has been the player’s fashion sense throughout the years, which has had its fair share of moments.

There are those who think that even though Messi is a legend, he doesn’t have that much aura. This has been running topic throughout the years, mainly because of the Argentinian’s introvert personality.

And there are also others who think that he feels forced to carry that bag. Which could make sense given the fact that it has become popular in recent years and these people don’t think he looks good following trends, even if these bags have their own share of history.

For example, most people may not know that these Birkin bags tend to be quite limited and the average Joe cannot go into a store and buy one. He or she needs to be part of a waiting list or having a connection with the Hermes brand, which is probably Messi’s case. They are also hard to get because there are very few of them and are difficult to make because of the materials required, hence why seeing the Argentinian star with one of them surprised a lot of people.

However, the general perception among people, especially with recent online discourse after the bag went viral online before Messi’s phot surfaced, is that they are ugly. Perhaps because of its simple design and not being very different than what a normal person can get on a regular store. Some people have claimed that they are not bought for its beauty but rather because of the status it provides.

The truth is, Messi looks good with that bag, even if it seems forced. And his all-black style suits him; he doesn’t usually wear dark colors, but it looks good on him. It is a mystery whether Messi was the one who bought the bag, it was a gift from his wife or the Hermes fashion house itself. The truth is that this bag looks good on him.
