The bag charm trend can be traced back to Jane Birkin, who was known for decking out her Hermès Birkin with all sorts of fun stuff. It's been a recurring trend on the runway, but AW2024 saw a major revival. Brands like Miu Miu, Balenciaga, and Coach added some amazing charms to their bags. Even Gigi Hadid got in on the action, showing off a decorated Miu Miu bag at a recent event.

A scarf is a versatile accessory that can instantly elevate your bag's appeal. Whether you opt for a silky scarf for a touch of elegance or a cozy knit for a bohemian vibe, the possibilities are endless. Experiment with different knotting techniques to create unique looks. For instance, a loose knot can give your bag a casual, effortless charm, while a tightly tied bow adds a touch of sophistication. Consider the color and pattern of your scarf to complement your overall outfit and the bag's style.

Keychains are no longer just functional; they've evolved into stylish accessories that can transform your bag. By curating a collection of keychains, you can create a personalized and eye-catching look. Mix and match different shapes, sizes, and materials to reflect your unique style. Consider using keychains with sentimental value, such as a small photo frame or a lucky charm, to add a personal touch.

Ribbons offer endless possibilities for bag embellishment. From a simple bow to intricate designs, you can create a variety of looks to suit your style. Choose ribbons in different colors, textures, and widths to match your outfit or the occasion. You can also combine ribbons with other accessories, such as flowers or charms, for a more complex design. 

 

Remember, the key to a successful embellished bag is to have fun and let your personality shine through. Don't be afraid to experiment and create a bag that truly reflects your style. With a little creativity and imagination, you can transform an ordinary bag into an extraordinary accessory.
