TV makeover guru Suzanne Jackson is developing her own style. As presenter of the RTÉ reality series The Style Council, Ms Jackson uses her expertise to help people revamp their wardrobe and regain their confidence.

And beauty entrepreneurs and influencers are enjoying their own makeovers by splurging on luxury designer bags and threads.

The Dancing With the Stars finalist was recently seen debuting a new tan Hermès Kelly bag inspired by style icon Princess Grace Kelly at an outing at the five-star Merrion Hotel in Dublin.

Hermès handbags are considered to be one of the most ambitious haute couture accessories on planet fashion. Ms. Jackson’s Hermès Kelly handbag costs around €10,000, although this depends on the country of sale and the time of purchase.

A bag from a French fashion house is considered one of the most coveted and desired items of fashion. Hermès handbags entered modern fashion after being featured several times on Sex and the City.

In one episode, Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha goes to great lengths to get an Hermès Birkin bag. ‘It’s not so much the style as it is the meaning of carrying it,’ Samantha tells Carrie, played by Sarah Jessica Parker.

‘When I’m walking around town with that bag, I’ll know I’ve made it.’ And it appears, so has Ms. Jackson, whose SoSueMe range of products has earned her millions.

While the businesswoman and beauty blogger still shops at high street stores, her wardrobe has recently seen a marked shift towards designer buys.

As well as her Hermès Kelly bag, in recent months she has also displayed a Chanel box bag, in addition to a white Chanel quilted classic handbag.

Owners of beauty brands such as Dripping Gold Tan are also stepping out in great footwear; Last week she was seen wearing a beautiful pair of two-tone Chanel ballet pumps.

Earlier this summer she announced she had moved to Portugal ‘for the foreseeable future’ with husband Dylan O’Connor.

On one of her more glamorous outings recently, Jackson wore a pair of black strappy YSL sandals with her Chanel box bag.

She also twirled her Givenchy top handle tote bag and posted a video of her twirling it for an Instagram moment. The presenter can enjoy the high life thanks to his hugely successful business brands.

One of her companies, Sanfran Cosmetics, which Ms Jackson co-owns with Sundrell cosmetics businessman Fran O’Gorman, recorded an accumulated profit reserve of over €6m.

The filing for another business, Kohr, reported an accumulated profit of more than €5m. But lest anyone think that Jackson is wasting her hard-earned money on bags and shoes, the astute entrepreneur understands that designer bags can be a lucrative investment.

Auction house Sotheby’s is currently auctioning off a selection of Hermès Kelly bags – the exact same one with which Jackson was photographed – at almost double the original retail price, with some costing more than €20,000.
