  • Jung’s many successes include starring in the Korean version of musical Legally Blonde, penning a bestselling book and starting fashion brand Blanc & Eclare
  • As a result, she gets to count Lee Min-ho and Hyun Bin as neighbours, has an Hermès bag collection to die for, and gets to travel the world with sister Krystal

It’s hard to pin Jessica Jung to one profession since she’s clearly a very multi-talented woman: founder and creative director of fashion line Blanc & Eclare, New York Times bestselling author of novel Shine, and a vocalist and songwriter who’s best known for being part of K-pop group Girls’ Generation. Oh, and for starring as Elle Woods in the theatre production of Legally Blonde.

It’s perhaps no surprise then that she found herself on the “Forbes 30 Under 30” list in 2017 and her business has continued to expand ever since. On the occasion of her 32nd birthday, on April 18, we’ve decided to raise a toast to her many accomplishments as we take a look at some of the things she loves to spend her hard-earned cash on.

Her Hermès bag collection

Jung has been seen sporting Birkin bags of different colours and sizes on many an outing over the years, as well as other Hermès bags including the Kelly, the Lindy and the Toolbox.

In a YouTube video entitled “My Forever Favourite Fashion Items”, Jessica shared her shopping tips for how to buy the best quality products, explaining why you should go for classic pieces and then really love them. She still adores the first Hermès bag she picked up in 2013 – a camel brown Herbag in canvas which she says she loves for its spaciousness and effortless look.

It’s been reported that she’ now a VVIP customer of Hermès Paris, even buddying up with Michael Coste, the brand’s head of external relations.

Her jewellery and watch collection

Jung also gave fans a peek at her jewellery collection via her YouTube channel, displaying a powder-pink tiered jewellery box filled with luxurious pieces, from Bulgari Serpenti Viper 18-carat rose gold earrings to an Hermès Ever Chaine d’Ancre ring and a Cartier Tank Solo watch. She also claims to be a big lover of pearls, especially the Celine Dot Triple Pearl earrings that her sister Krystal bought her.
