Lil Uzi Vert and other artists carry handbags and you should try too.
What do Jaden Smith, Kanye West, Lil Nas X, and Lil Uzi Vert have in common? Obviously the music, but these guys wear whatever they want.
Uzi recently showed why he's known as the "rapper fashion killa," wearing layers of a leather biker jacket and a chocolate-toned hoodie with sick Louis Vuitton accessories. But what really caught the attention was that the rapper chose a yellow leather handbag to complete the drip.

We don't even have to go too deep into the role Lil Nas X plays in this subject, who's brave enough to explore everything that is boldest, truest, and unlabelled in his style while being a black man and part of the LGBTQ+ community.
