Every fashion icon worth her salt has an Hermès Birkin, and 3 Idiots star Kareena Kapoor-Khan is no exception – but she also loves Chanel, Dior, YSL, Celine and Louis Vuitton

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

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 …

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.
