14 prettiest bag charms to spice up your bags

Think of bag charms like jewellery. You throw on a necklace or a pair of earrings and it quickly amps up your outfit. Bag charms do the same thing — some elevate your carry-alls and make them way more sophisticated, while others are just so darn cute that they make others take a second look. Long story short, they add visual interest, colours and textures and is another way to show off your personality and style.

We’ve scoured the Internet and gathered 14 bag charms, from the pretty, the cool to the downright adorable, that you need to hang on your bags now. PS: Some of them double up as key or coin holders so they’re not just cute embellishments!
