What can give your bags personality? Bag charms, of course

It’s simple to purchase a bag, but why not go the extra mile to amp it up with your own personal style? Add a little bling to your bags to make them stand out from the rest

by Ho Guo Xiong & Shazrina Shamsudin  /   May 2, 2021

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 18 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!

What can give your bags personality? Bag charms, of course
Hermès Kellydole, price available in-store
image

Everyone knows the iconic Kelly bag from Hermès, but did you know that it also inspired an adorable character called Kellydole? The anthropomorphic bag was based on a drawing by the ex-executive chairman of Hermès, Jean-Louis Dumas, in 1999. Today, it makes a reappearance in the form of this 55 x 66 x 27mm bag charm in the French brand’s SS ’21 collection. The name “Kellydole” is a play on “Quelle idole”, which means “What an idol” in French. Featuring the brand’s Sellier construction (known for its sharp edges and visible stitching), the bag charm has a complex assembly of gussets to accommodate the side straps (the hands), plus a swivel clasp (the nose) that makes it fully functional. Use it to stash precious gemstones, AirPods or even a lipstick. It’s sure to put a smile on your face, and who doesn’t need that right now?

Fendi Toast Bag Charm, price available in-store

Accessorise your Fendi Baguette with this beautiful charm. Crafted in white sheepskin, this particular piece features a zip, leather strap and clip with customised logo plate, that adds more texture to your look. Eponymous to its name, this bag charm also takes after the look of a toast — of which, in our opinion, is a really cute accessory that’s hard to resist.
