Sunday nights are so lonely without the ruthless, dysfunctional Roy family to keep us company. But even though the show is over, we can all have a little piece of Succession for keeps…for the right price, that is. HBO is cleaning out the hit series’s archives in a public auction of 236 items, spanning all four seasons, set for Friday, January 12.
The lots have a little something for everyone. While there are some obvious highlights, like the Doderick costume from the pilot (you know, the one with the eyeholes that Cousin Greg vomits through?), the infamous “ludicrously capacious bag,” and the notecards with Roman’s ill-fated eulogy, there are also some real hidden gems in there. (Consider Kerry’s hot pink dress from her less-than-stellar turn as a news anchor, Lukas Matsson’s vape pen, or Logan’s orthopedic boot.)
On the fashion front, the auction gives fans the chance to buy pieces from luxury labels for a fraction of the price (pending any wild, last-minute bids), with pieces from Prada, Tom Ford, and Proenza Schouler up for grabs. Conversely, it could also sell the most overpriced Wal-Mart T-shirt of all time: Roman’s finale look.
So, in the words of Tom Wambsgans, “buckle up, fuckleheads,” because we at Vogue have our eyes on a few things from the sad sack WASP trap that was Succession. Find our picks below.
If I can’t have one of the assassin-black ribbed turtlenecks Alexander Skarsgård, as the marauding tech bro Lukas Matsson, wore when the Waystar RoyCo team headed in Norway to get their asses handed to them by the GoJo guys, then I’ll settle for this insane Needles cardigan he shrugged on to give Tom Wambsgans the CEO job. Skarsgård is 6’4”, one inch taller than I am, and if he can pull off a thigh-skimming, belted swath of vaguely argyle-patterned mohair from a niche Japanese menswear designer, then so can I, dammit. —Taylor Antrim, global network lead US deputy editor
At first I told my colleagues that I was “desperate for the parks merch”—specifically, the set of four “Brightstar Adventure Park Parkas,” A) because they’re funny and B) because I kind of need a windbreaker anyway—but I’ve changed my mind about that, and determined that I actually medically require the fake Playbills from Willa’s terrible play, Sands. (Also, the iPad that she flings into the sea from the Roys’ vacation yacht after reading a bad review...!!) It’s camp, it’s thwarted ambition, it’s Greg positing that something may be “thriving in the sand”...everything about that Season 2 storyline is completely indelible. My personal collection of Playbills would be incomplete without a nod to Willa’s one, shining (writhing?) contribution to the American theater. —Marley Marius, features editor
I loved subversive Kendall, and this pin is the epitome of his rebel era. —Laia Garcia-Furtado, fashion news editor, Vogue Runway
I NEED Kerry’s tote bag, which includes several corporate-girlboss books, a curling iron, a silver sleep mask for those long flights with Logan, and a thing of collagen supplements. What a dark portrait of modern womanhood! —Emma Specter, culture writer
While of course I want to own the furry head that Greg vomits into or the Waystar RoyCo apology ads, I’m a bit of a pragmatist and have kept my eye on Naomi Pierce’s Proenza Schouler outfit from the Season 4 premiere. Not only is it incredibly chic—no surprise coming from the show’s best character—but it’s probably less money than a full Proenza look would cost, with a fun story to boot. —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer
If I had all the funds in the world, I would definitely try to get my hands on the “ludicrously capacious” Burberry handbag from the final season, which started at a $1,950 bid. Talk about an iconic piece of pop culture! Now, would I actually wear it? No. I agree with Tom Wambsgans—it’s far too roomy for my personal taste. But still, given the accessory was a viral sensation, it seems too good to pass up. —Christian Allaire, senior fashion and style writer
You may all be drawn to the ludicrously capacious Burberry tote, but I can’t look away from Tom and Shiv’s ludicrously enormous, barista-ready Isomac espresso machine. What a coup it would be to have that take up your entire kitchen counter! —Chloe Malle, editor of vogue.com
I have never seen Succession, so I’m going for something I’d logically use in my everyday life, not a piece of memorabilia. I’d buy this suit, and I’d wear it to a big event—then randomly drop into conversations all the time that it belonged to Sarah Snook. —Margaux Anbouba, beauty and wellness editor
My husband and I are both Scorpios, so the idea of getting him Shiv and Tom’s Jurassic Park-esque scorpion in amber one feels just right. Maybe the best desk accessory of all time? —C.M.
