Palm Beach’s social season will once again reach its most fashionable crescendo when the 27th Annual Old Bags Luncheon returns to the legendary Breakers Hotel on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. Following a sold-out 2025 edition that united philanthropists, tastemakers, and style leaders for an afternoon of purpose and polish, the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County (CFS) has announced a return that promises to be nothing short of iconic.
For 2026, CFS welcomes Priscilla Presley as keynote speaker. A cultural force whose influence spans film, fashion, philanthropy, and history, Presley will bring her singular voice—and remarkable life story—to The Breakers’ storied ballroom. From Graceland to global stages, her presence ensures a luncheon defined by elegance, inspiration, and enduring relevance.
Adding a fashion-forward exclamation point to the afternoon, this year’s coveted “IT Bag” honor goes to James Norton of RobertJames. Celebrated for his architectural approach and refined craftsmanship, Norton’s handbags have quickly emerged as a modern luxury essential. His selection places him among a distinguished lineage of designers whose artistry and generosity define the luncheon’s philanthropic spirit.
“I am so excited that Priscilla Presley will be our speaker at the Old Bags Luncheon Palm Beach in February,” said Lora Drasner, who will co-chair the 2026 event alongside Marzia Precoda. “Her extraordinary life experiences, combined with her work as an actress, author, and advocate, will undoubtedly captivate our guests and deepen awareness of the Center’s vital mental health initiatives.”
“The Old Bags Luncheon continues to prove that Palm Beach style has heart,” added Todd L’Herrou, Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Family Services. “The impact of last year’s event reaffirmed what happens when fashion, friendship, and generosity come together. With Priscilla Presley and James Norton joining us in 2026, the legacy grows even stronger.”
Long regarded as one of the Palm Beach season’s most beloved traditions, the Old Bags Luncheon seamlessly blends luxury with purpose. Guests enjoy an elegant luncheon and marquee speaker while bidding on hundreds of new and gently loved designer handbags—all in support of mental health and wellness programs that serve the community.
For more than sixty years, the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach County has been a pillar of support, providing life-changing counseling, education, and advocacy to individuals and families in need. Proceeds from the Old Bags Luncheon ensure these essential services continue to uplift and strengthen the community for generations to come.
