Kareena Kapoor-Khan has carved out an indelible career for herself over her 20 years in Bollywood.

Since her acting debut in 2000, Indian Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has starred in dozens of films, and made a fortune big enough to support a growing luxury handbag collection. Photo: AFP
In addition to her acting talents, the mother-of-two is also one of India’s most revered fashion icons. Whether she’s making bold sartorial choices, pulling off a cosy look at the airport or kicking off maternity trends in her home country, she is always one step ahead.

Any fashionista worth her salt has a handbag to match her outfits, and Kapoor-Khan is no exception. The 3 Idiots star has a cornucopia of enviable designer arm candy, from Chanel and Louis Vuitton, to Celine and Balenciaga.

Let’s take a look at the best of her luxurious handbag collection …

Chanel

Last November, the Kapoor sisters delighted fans when they posted a lift selfie together. The stylish pair opted for all-black ensembles, donning animal-print winter coats over black tops and knee-high boots. But it was Kapoor-Khan’s Chanel bag that stole the show.

The classic Chanel quilted, gold chain flap bag comes with a double-C clasp and costs around US$9,000, according to Bagaholic.

 

However, as you might expect, this isn’t the only Chanel handbag in the diva’s collection: she is often spotted with the maison’s classic tote during her airport runs. Chanel, it seems, is one of Kapoor-Khan’s go-to everyday brands.

Hermès Birkin

Another staple of her handbag collection is none other than the Hermès Birkin. She usually pairs the coveted clutches with Indian kurtas or a casual shirt-over-jeans ensemble.

Kapoor-Khan can usually be spotted carrying either a tan or black Birkin.

Louis Vuitton

When it comes to holidays, Kapoor-Khan seems to prefer the perennial travel classic – the Louis Vuitton monogram handbag – for her glamorous sojourns.

Whether it’s Louis Vuitton’s Speedy Bandoulière embossed with colourful stars or the Monogram Metis Empreinte Hobo bag she brought along on a trip with husband Saif Ali Khan, the Indian star sure knows how to keep it classy and elegant.

Dior

 

Perhaps the most well-known handbag in Kapoor-Khan’s treasure trove – other than her Birkins – is her Christian Dior tote bag.

The popular piece comes with oblique embroidery and a price tag of around US$3,500, according to the Lvbagaholic site.

During her legendary girls’ trip to London with besties Malaika Arora and Natasha Poonawalla last year, Kapoor-Khan was seen with the YSL cross-body bag in black, which she paired with a knit jacket and classic blue jeans.

The Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham star has also been spotted with several other YSL bags recently, including the classic Sac de Jour Nano.

Celine

 

While Bollywood tends to demand its stars look glamorous 24/7, Kapoor-Khan often puts comfort first, opting for practical accessories for day-to-day chores. Her everyday bag of choice? The roomy Celine Calfskin Large Soft 16 Bag in tan. And who can blame her when it goes with everything?

The Jab We Met star is not afraid to mix and match outfit styles with her Celine bag either. Whether she’s going ultra casual in a blue jogging bottoms and jumper combo or dressed up in a Marni outfit and leather jacket, her Celine bag always seems to be the cherry on top of her impeccable fashion style.
