Lionel Messi landed at Ezeiza to join Argentina’s camp and was photographed carrying a gray-and-black Hermès bag. Recent coverage cites prices of about $99,000 on 1stdibs, €41,546 on Joli Closet, and $65,000 on JaneFinds for comparable pieces. Reports differ on the exact model—identified as either a Haut à Courroies Cargo 40 or a limited edition HAC Birkin Cargo—and the item does not appear in Hermès’ official catalog. Media and social posts focused on the accessory’s rarity and presentation, with marketing analyses describing it as consistent with Messi’s premium brand positioning. Luxury styling extended to teammates, as Leandro Paredes arrived with a Hermès Birkin fitted with a Pop Mart Labubu charm while Argentina prepares to face Venezuela and Ecuador.
