It’s all about Purse-onality: What color bag should you be carrying based on your birth month?

Birthstones aside, we’ve got the handbag version you never thought you needed.

The anatomy of a woman and her handbag is a mystery unbeknownst to man. Beyond just a place to carry your belongings - if ever a reason - is an outfit staple that can either make or break your look. We’re talking total makeover! You can be dressed in all black and throw in a statement handbag that will earth-shatteringly alter your look!

I have too many handbags, said no woman ever! So we’re taking bag aficionadas up a notch and adding a symbolic bijou to the handbag mix. Birthstone who? We’re introducing a bag for every month - giving a nod to the birthstone color! The mystical nature of each color manifests good fortune and energy to the wearer. So what more does one need for a handbag?
