More often than not, a girl's choice of arm candy says a lot about her personality. Case in point: Maris Racal, a nonchalant meme queen and inarguably one of the coolest girls of her generation, is often spotted lugging around a designer bag that injects an edgy flavor to her 'fits. Her pick? Balenciaga's Le Cagole.
A modern reimagining of Balenciaga's OG City motorcycle bag, the Le Cagole has quickly risen to "it bag" status since Demna Gvasalia introduced it in 2021. With defining characteristics that pay tribute to its iconic noughties predecessor, including hardware and leather-strung zipper pulls, but refreshed with a more structured silhouette, it's no surprise that the bag is attracting the same target market it once had: cool girls with effortless style.
Maris in particular has the Le Cagole in black lambskin leather with aged-silver hardware, which seems to be her go-to bag for travels and casual errands alike. Take cues from how she's been styling the it bag with her cool girl 'fits below!

For a coordinated 'fit, Maris paired the it bag with a set of brown cropped button-down shirt and a matching mini pleated skirt, then finished off the look with black boots.
She opted for a casual vibe with a cropped white tank top, denim jeans, and an embroidered vest, with her Le Cagole arm candy adding a sophisticated touch.
Here, Maris showcased the bag's timeless elegance by teaming it with a little black dress and black-rimmed specs.
During her Tokyo travels, Maris styled the bag with a cropped graphic tee and cargo jeans, showing off her stylish urban look.
For a rainy day in Japan, she chose an all-black look comprised of a lace dress and a pair of boots, seamlessly integrating the Le Cagole into her edgy yet whimsical ensemble.
