First things first, I’m not an astrologer. But it’s worth a mention that I indulge in some occasional research and meme sharing when it comes to zodiac signs. The hysterical and unwarranted humour exchange with my equally unhinged pals has made me a connoisseur of sorts – which speaks largely about my friends’ investment in doing any sort of background research.
Last week, post binging on The Crown, I encountered a random reading on my explore page, and funnily started wondering which iconic bag would suit the characteristics of a specific zodiac sign. And here’s how the fashion geek in me joined forces with the zodiac signs traits- think of this as a guide. Or maybe not.
Aries: March 21 – April 19
Balenciaga Le Cagole
Competitive and slightly insecure, the Aries brigade’s penchant for staying at the top of the game is why Le Cagole by Balenciaga suits their confident personalities. The bag has dominated the wardrobe of A-listers for the past two years and is still considered hot stuff in all circles.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Lady Dior
Averse to fads and faltering micro-trends, Taureans cherish their classics like it’s nobody’s business. Nothing like the Lady Dior to appeal to their luxurious side that loves an occasional splurge. They’re also big on investments which makes this iconic handbag with an excellent resale value, a great cop for this zodiac sign.
Gemini: May 21 – June 21
Bottega Veneta’s Padded Cassette Bag
Might’ve slipped this one in due to some pressure from my coworker’s end. Hardcore Geminis, what can I say? This cult-favourite Bottega baby and its inflated weave is a great conversation starter and ideal for this zodiac sign’s experimental streak.
Cancer: June 22 – July 22
Gucci Jackie
Reliable, emotional and highly intuitive (the sign, duh), a Cancerian will always appreciate something with a touch of legacy and sentiment. Enter the Gucci Jackie. Rich in history and synonymous with the Italian maison, the structured classic wins all the laurels with regards to the water sign.
Leo: July 23 – August 22
Hermès Himalayan Birkin
I think we can reach a common consensus that the Himalayan Birkin is perfectly suited to Leos . Kylie’s also a Leo, by the way. Leos are notorious for dominating the spotlight and going the extra mile to create a lasting impression, hence, this invaluable iteration in crocodile leather is the real deal for them.
Virgo: August 23 – September 22
Chanel 19
Pandering to the organised side of Virgos, the versatile and equally roomy Chanel 19 will easily compartmentalise all their goodies (and worries). It’s a well-thought out gift for the perfectionist earth sign, if you ask us.
Libra: September 23 – October 23
Jacquemus Mini
Libra energy is all about embracing one’s love for vanity, creating equilibrium, with a little dash of indecisiveness. Here, we have the iconic Jacquemus Mini entering the picture to balance out the remaining half of their wardrobe with its quirk and slightly impractical but exciting make.
Scorpio: October 24 – November 21
Goyard Comor Tote
The astoundingly niche Goyard is undoubtedly the one for Scorpios. Intense and elusive, this zodiac sign appreciates the under-appreciated and this sturdy contender is at the apex when it comes to complimenting the dizzying aura of this water sign.
Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
Saint Laurent Le 5 A 7
Known for being aspirational with impeccably high standards, Sagis are the last fire sign of the zodiac and the uber chicness of this YSL frontrunner warrants attention from this zodiac sign. Hailey Bieber’s Sagittarius sun agrees.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
LV Dauphine
We think this LV resurrection is the ‘it’ bag for Capris given their ambitious yet realistic persona. With a focus on detail and love for material pleasures (earth signs unite), this LV bad boy is bound to entice these born leaders.
Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
Fendi Baguette
Aquarians are deep philosophical thinkers with plenty eccentricities to their name. Not implying the bag is well read with Kafka and Plath stacked on the bookshelf next to the wardrobe. Popularised by Miss Bradshaw on SATC, this bag’s disruptive arc of success is why it melds with this zodiac sign’s peculiarities.
Pisces: February 19 – March 20
Coach Tabby
It’s very easy to envelop yourself in the mysticalness and impressionable aura of a fellow Pieces, much similar to the easygoing allure of the Coach Tabby. Everyone has a sweet spot for this one, and they don’t even have to try very hard.
