Actress Angelina Jolie, 32, and her daughter Zahara, 2 1/2, carry matching Valentino purses as they leave the playground this morning. Purseblog talked to a Valentino rep, who says the mini-purse was specially made for Zahara. More photos at Just Jared.

Zahara is wearing Stride Rite Guppy stage 3 sandals in brown ($39).
Angelina’s handbag is Valentino’s Histoire ($1695).
What’s up with Zahara? She always has the same expression on her face and I’ve never once seen her crack a smile. Pax doesn’t seem to smile either. Or Shiloh. Maddox does once in a blue moon. I know they are all cute and we all love them, but are these kids ok?

Why a 2 1/2 year old needs (probably a very expensive) Valentino purse is beyond me but whatever! It’s cute but a bit much!
- Noelle on
omg! this is the cutest thing! I love it. It doesn’t get anymore mommy and daughter (with out being chessey) than matching purses.
- Chris on
Awwww! This is so cute!
The sad part is that I probably couldn’t even afford the one Z has! Haha!
- Tracy on
Z’s purse is really a Valentino? For a 2-yr-old??
See the thing is, I can’t even cricize Angie for that, even if it were gold-plated. She is so generous to people in need.
Sarah’s note: We don’t know if it really is. If it is, I doubt they bought it. The bag companies ‘place’ (i.e. give) celebs the bags so that hopefully they’ll use it and it will become popular. Maybe they saw Angelina using it and sent a little one to match? Who knows.

That is so cute. Zahara looks tired after playing.

Zahara looks like a mix of naomi campbell and vivica a fox around the eyes and forehead IMO.

Zahara is soooooooo cute! She is going to be a beautiful woman one day. I still think she looks like her Mother.

If you added up the cost of Violet Afflecks neverending amount of shoes it would probably equal the cost of that purse! And you know, if I had that amount of money, and gave over a third of my income away, then I really would not feel bad at all about splashing out on something fun for my daughter.
So cute
- Bel on
Valentino probably made it as a gift for Zahara. I’m sure they are selling like hotcakes since AJ started carrying this bag. She does sell for the fashion designers — for good or ill!
- Katya on
matching purses! too cute!
- anon on
Angie uses that same purse all the time. I’ll bet Valentinos sent her a small one for Z. Shiloh probably has one too.
- Fynn on
I think its adorable, and I don’t think it really matters if it is an expensive, designer purse or not. To have one matching Mommy’s is adorable.

I just saw this pic on another site and someone claiming to be a professional photographer swears that Z’s purse has been photoshopped in. He said the lighting is all wrong on Z’s purse versus the rest of the photo. I don’t know. Maybe it’s the power of suggestion (and I’m especially gullible) but after reading that and looking at the pic more closely, it does seem a bit off.
Sarah’s note: Don’t think so. The photos are on multiple agencies from all different angles, all with the purse. Also, they sell the photos to sites like us and magazines, and could get in legal trouble if they were altering photos pre-purchase.

Is it just me, or does it look like Angelina might have a nose ring?
The matching purse thing is so cute. Who cares if it’s Valentino?
- Stephanie on
That is too cute!! I love the matching purses.
- momo on
This is to cute!
- Sarah on
LOL, Stephanie, I looked and I think it’s just light seeping through her sunglasses as she has her head tilted.
But I think it’s cute that she and Z have matching purses. Next time I’d just about roll on the ground if they had the purses and were dressed similar. 
- FC on
OMG! That is sooo cute. I wish I had a little girl to match bags with.
- flower girl on
I remember when my four sisters and I would dress exactly like our mother when we went to church. We even had the exact same hairdos!!! People would always say how cute we were. I always thought I was “da bomb” because I looked like my mommy. Zee is so adorable with her matching purse. Probably feels so grown up!!
- essie on
Omg, that is absolutely adorable! I want to do that now! Lol. Seriously, so so cute. And who cares what it costs and who paid for it. They make enough money that they should be able to indulge their kids once in a while.
- MommyX1 on
FABULOUS!!!
- Destiny on
Okay that is just adorable! Fake or not, it’s a cute thing to do. I’m betting Zahara is at that age when she wants to do everything mommy does. She’s such a gorgeous child!
– Daisy Kay, I agree! I think she looks like her mother too.
- Grayson's Girl on
That is absolutely adorable, having matching purses
- Chandra on
This brings back memories. When my 6 year old was her age, she always wanted to dress like me. She would even pick out matching outfits out of our closets. So, so cute.
- melanie on
Too cute. I think Zahara has the most fun personality among all the kids. She seems like she would be a good actress
- rachel on
Awwwwww… that is too cute for words! I bet Valentino is going to have to market the mini-bag now. Every mom on the Upper East Side is going to want matching bags for themselves and their little princesses after seeing that photo. I wonder how much Valentino would charge for the little one?
Miss Thang is going to be a little heartbreaker when she’s old enough to date. The boys will be breaking the front door down.
- Judy on
It was written on purseblog.com that the purse was made specially for Zahara by the people who work for Valentino. I guess they saw Angelina wearing it decided to make a mini version for Z. She’s adorable!

There is a purse blog? SWEET!
- finnaryn on
LOL Finnayrn! I said the same thing outload as i was reading your post!! Hehe, see you on that blog!
- morgan on
Cuteness overload!!!!!!!! I’m practically melting just looking at these pictures! I love the fact that Angie and Z were spending some quality mother-daughter time together!
- Annoyomus on
Sorry, that is TOTALLY photoshopped. Look at the lighting and resolution of the purse and look at Z’s hand around the strap – way off.
- Jen on
Haha. They look so cute with those purses. Can you imagine Z’s expression when they gave it to her? She must have thought she’d died and gone to toddler heaven!
- PSB on
They do look supercute. What I like about this is once Z gets tired of it – she probably won’t though – they’ll probably give it to Shiloh if she doesn’t have one of her own. It seems that the Jolie-Pitts are very down to earth in that they save clothes from the older children for the younger children to wear. I like that about them – not to say they aren’t a “real family,” but it’s a very “real family living on a budget” thing to do.
And the purses are gorgeous. I wish I had $1600 to throw down for one, but I think the feds might frown upon my use of student loan money for purses…
- Jen DC on
I LOVE it ! So adorable the bag and she looks like she’s into carrying it! I love it when little girls are carrying handbags and even more when it matches up with mom! I love how this family conducts themselves in public. Thanks for the pics!
- yaosa on
I love it too! I have a friend who got her 3 year old matching designer sunglasses. SO adorable! She also let her use one of her old Louis Vuitton purses. And Zahara is so beautiful, it’s unreal how stunning all of their children are!!!
- Jen on
I seen the sandals that Zahara is wearing today and the name was minnow. The guppy ones had little fish cut outs on the top. I just thought you might want to put that they were minnow instead.
- jen on
I’m sorry, they are listed as guppy online. The stride rite store i went to had the plain ones as minnow.
- jennifer on
No comments about Shiloh not being with them? What is the world coming to? LOL!
