Feng shui is rooted in ancient Chinese geomancy or natural energies, which include the elements of fire, earth, water, metal, and wood.

According to John Lok, principal consultant at Feng Shui 0011, even handbags can influence the new year.

"Their colour, how women hold them, and what goes in them can all affect your luck," Lok told Reuters. He goes on to explain that holding your handbag on the left will increase what goes inside and decrease what goes out.

Red is associated with luck, passion, and positive energy. It is the colour of intensity, fire, and auspicious Chi. If you want to stir up the energy and attract more money, go for red and choose an angular shape.

Wear it if you want: Good fortune and overall vitality.

Black represents the water element and is associated with respect, strength, and power. Combined with a curvy shape, you can manifest more wealth. A black handbag will help you feel in charge of your money.

Wear it if you want: A sense of security and help navigating challenges.

Green and light blue represent the wood element, which is linked to growth, health, and harmony. Use a rectangular-shaped bag to bring in new beginnings and reach new heights.

Blue represents calmness, wisdom, and communication. It is associated with the water element, which provides abundance and energy flow. A blue handbag will lead to more wealth flowing into your life.

Yellow symbolises happiness, warmth, and positive energy, while brown represents stability, grounding, and reliability. Both are connected to the earth element.

Much like red, pink and purple are both fire element colours. Pink embodies love, compassion, and nurturing. It is also seen as a catalyst for change and causes more energy to flow. For optimum wealth and financial flow, experts advise getting a bright pink handbag.

Meanwhile, purple represents abundance and is associated with money. It's also traditionally the colour of royalty and opulence.
