    Christine Quinn’s 10 Most Eye-Popping Purses, Ranked by Practicality

    Two words: Chair purse

Christine Quinn is perhaps best known for closing on multimillion-dollar LA McMansions, coming up with snappy confessional one-liners and rocking iconic chunky sunnies. But in Season 5 of Selling Sunset, she further cements her passion for fashion, sporting monochrome suits, designer diaper bags and yet another purse that doesn’t exactly look like a purse. At this point, Quinn is basically playing Is It Cake? with clutches.

To commemorate Quinn’s maybe-exit from the series, we’re ranking her most outrageous bags, from Louis to Leiber, all according to whether or not they’re capable of containing a contract, or even just the keys to a new home. Below, find out which of Quinn’s purses best suits her needs as we count down her bags from most to least functional.

This Bodhi safety clutch is ideal for a house tour — large enough to hold all of Quinn’s important documents but sharp enough that everyone knows she means business. It also seems to be a favorite of hers — she carries it while trying to find a house for Heather’s client during Season 1, Episode 7, and again while meeting her Selling Sunset co-star Chelsea Lazkani for a gossip sesh in Season 5, Episode 6. Functionality ranking: 10/10 megamansions

While Quinn may be thought of as the show’s ice queen, she loves turning up the heat on her fellow realtors at the Oppenheim Group, and that’s where this purse comes in handy. Similar to the Gucci Sylvie bag, this little number can be seen during the show’s premiere and is sure to spice up any dog birthday parties she might be crashing. It’s even big enough to carry TJ’s leash. Functionality ranking: 9/10 tiny flames

Missing Bridgerton? Stay connected to royalty — real estate royalty, anyway — with this glitzy Dolce Box. Thanks to its $9,000 price tag, this bag tops our list in terms of cost, but it’s clearly worth its weight in ornate gold details and luxe royal portraits. Maybe it’ll even draw buyers for Davina’s $75 million house, which Quinn helpfully shows her hubby Christian in Season 3, Episode 2. Plus, this bag gets some bang for its buck, with Quinn also wearing it in Season 2, Episode 3 and Season 4, Episode 5. Functionality ranking: 8/10 treasure chests

This Gucci lunchbox, which Quinn brings into the office just before she has her baby in the Season 4 premiere, is barely big enough for a picnic. Maybe Heather Rae El Moussa can use it for her very first chocolate sandwich. Functionality ranking: 7/10 Oreos

These Marzook pill purses are so nice, Quinn bought them twice. While they’re the perfect ornamental accessory for a confrontation with co-worker Amanza Smith in Season 5, Episode 2 (and again during a group fight during the same season’s Episode 8 tea party), they’re also big enough to hold your real-life pills during a trip to CVS. Practical! Functionality ranking: 6/10 pill bottles

Though this Judith Leiber–inspired french fry clutch doesn’t show up until the Season 5 premiere, it would fit in well at Quinn’s Season 3 burgers-and-Botox broker’s open. A No. 5 combo, no drama, please. Functionality ranking: 5/10 Big Macs

Christine Quinn’s 10 Most Eye-Popping Purses, Ranked by Practicality #7

This little Louis Vuitton Bleecker Box looks mighty similar to a Cartier ring box, an accessory Nick, aka Tom Fraud, could have used while gifting girlfriend Vanessa Villela a promise ring in the middle of the workday. Quinn totes this tote around during three separate episodes, and much like a diamond engagement ring, it’s a classic. Functionality ranking: 4/10 moissanite rings

Sometimes, Quinn departs from carrying expensive, high-end designer creations; this PrettyLittleThing bucket bag is just $35. In Season 4, Episode 5, Quinn uses it to hold her phone while she’s shopping for baby clothes, and we couldn’t help but notice that it’s exactly the same size as an empanada — something Emma might find useful.  Functionality ranking: 3/10 mail-order frozen “beef” empanadas

Most likely useful only during those times when Quinn needs something to hold just one tube of her iconic scarlet hue (or perhaps one tiny tea bag?), this Louis Vuitton lipstick case runs upwards of a thousand dollars. It does serve at least one other purpose though: It’s ideal for lounging around the house in pigtails, chit-chatting about Chrishell Stause’s divorce with your girls, as Quinn does in Season 3, Episode 6. Functionality rating: 2/10 divorce text messages

All other purses, take a seat. Quinn’s iconic chair purse is, as she says, “the star of Selling Sunset, and [we’re] just living in its world.” Is the bag inspired by those iconic O Group swivel chairs? Or a particularly luxe seat at one of Quinn’s stagings? The world might never know. But this Area “purse” (some might call it a statement necklace) simply can’t be beaten, if not in function, at least in form. Next season, we’re hoping Quinn will start toting around the full dining room set. Functionality rating: 1/10, Ceci n’est pas une purse.
