Why Does Ellie Carry A Bag In Love Island?

We’ve gotten used to the style on Love Island over the last few years.

Bikinis, baddie dresses and Molly Mae’s iconic bun!

However, one thing we’re not used to seeing is bags. We mean, they don’t really have anything to carry around in the villa.

So that is why the world has gone into a tailspin as Ellie is rarely spotted without her Prada handbag.

Look, if we had a Prada handbag you’d have to pry it from our clutches too!

Fans were wondering what was in there, with some suggesting she’s carrying around her lip combo. And honestly, so fair!

She could be carrying the iconic Love Island phones in her wicker bag from the designer bag.

However, it looks like there is an even simpler reason for her to be sporting the now iconic look.

In a statement Amy Bannerman, eBay UK, Pre-Loved Style Director tells us, “We added bags to the Love Island Villa for the first season of Love Island All Stars in January 2025. I wanted a way to add more eBay to the Islanders’ non-swimwear looks and give us an opportunity to talk about eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee (AG) offering. The Love Island All Stars cast all really veer towards premium brands too, so it felt like the perfect place to introduce it.

“Last season, we added men’s bags after interviewing the Islanders about their style at Press & Profile week. The boys all seemed keen to join the girls in carrying AG bags. We have also added luxury AG men’s sliders too, so they’re wearing more eBay around the pool during daytime moments.”
