Haaland's unusual passion: Footballer boasts luxury handbag collection worth over 750,000 euros

Erling Haaland, the prolific Norwegian striker, is making headlines not just for his on-field prowess but also for his surprising passion: an extensive collection of luxury handbags.

Haaland has reportedly amassed an impressive array of Hermes bags, with his collection valued at over 650,000 pounds (around 754,000 euros), according to the Daily Mail. The crown jewel of his collection is an exceptionally rare Hermes Birkin 25 Himalaya Niloticus Crocodile bag, estimated to be worth 330,000 pounds (approximately 383,000 euros). This particular bag has also been spotted with his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.

Known for his keen interest in fashion, Haaland has been photographed carrying other notable pieces. Upon arriving for a national team gathering, he was seen with a 'Endless Road' Haut à Courroies bag made of Togo leather, valued at 45,000 pounds (about 52,000 euros). He casually placed it atop his luggage, completing his ensemble with a backward baseball cap, official team suit, and sunglasses.

His collection also includes other Hermes models like a 30,000-pound HAC Casaque Birkin 40 Palladium, a 37,000-pound Toile Hac Birkin 40, and a 50,000-pound Evercalf Toile Cargo Haut À Courroies Birkin. Beyond handbags, Haaland reportedly owns a watch collection worth an estimated 1 million pounds (about 1.16 million euros), further highlighting his taste for high-value accessories.
