Wearing the same 2026 World Cup jerseys makes it difficult for soccer players to let their personalities shine—the highest-ranked talents rarely take off their team uniforms for the duration of the tournament. So, it's that much more exciting when they go all out with their pre-World Cup wardrobe. With no airport outfit dress codes, the athletes have free rein to pair loungewear with rare designer bags.
Days before the World Cup began on June 11, photographers spotted Norway's Erling Haaland and France's Kylian Mbappé carrying coveted purses. On June 2, Haaland, who has a collection of Hermès bags, deboarded his team's private plane in navy Team Norway gear and a limited-edition "Endless Road" Birkin. With a (pre-owned) $45,500 price tag, the highly sought-after design makes it the most extravagant duffle bag to hold a soccer ball.
