Forget the Friendship Bracelets—Kaia Gerber and Jake Shane Prefer Matching Chanel Bags
Did Kaia Gerber and Jake Shane exchange a “what are you wearing?” text before dinner in Beverly Hills last night?
Reported by Vogue.
There's friendship, and then there's friendship — the kind where you and your best friend show up to a Beverly Hills sushi dinner in matching Chanel. Kaia Gerber and Jake Shane did exactly that at Matsuhisa this week, and honestly, it raised the bar for all of us.
The two arrived coordinated in California's unofficial uniform — white tops, blue jeans — but each made it their own. Gerber went architectural: a draped cowl-neck halter with an open back, low-slung indigo denim, black ballet flats, gold hoops, and wraparound tortoiseshell sunglasses. Shane kept it relaxed in a long-sleeve tee, medium-wash jeans, and sneakers, finishing the look with a baseball cap repping Gerber's book club, Library Science. Supportive and stylish. The bar for best friends, officially reset.
The Bag That Seals It
But the real statement wasn't the outfits — it was what they were carrying. According to Vogue, both Gerber and Therapuss host Shane toted the same burgundy grained-leather Chanel Maxi Flap bag from Matthieu Blazy's debut collection, retailing at $9,300 apiece. That's $18,600 in matching bags between two people who apparently just wanted to grab sushi. The Chanel Maxi Flap has quietly cemented itself as the bag of this particular moment, and having your best friend co-sign it in the same colorway? That's not a coincidence — that's a pact.
Friendship bracelets were sweet. Coordinating Eras Tour outfits were fun. But Gerber and Shane just introduced the next evolution of bestie dressing: the investment-piece twinning moment, where the flexing is mutual and the commitment is approximately four figures deep. It reframes the whole concept of "getting dressed together" — less about matching for the 'gram, more about a shared sensibility so locked-in it extends to a $9K handbag.
The new friendship bracelet is a Chanel flap — and if you have to ask what size, you're not ready for the conversation.
