Pimp Up Your Handbag…

We're loving this trend, and it couldn't be easier to get onboard

Bag charms are everywhere right now, and I have to say, I’m loving them. It’s such a great way of adding about of personality to your look/outfit, without taking away from the chicness. Now as someone who loathes anything remotely gimmicky (or worse: kitsch), I am fully onboard. I have recently dusted off my trusty Louis Vuitton (monogrammed, natch) Speedy, and I’ve already started gathering those charms. I just love the contrast of a classic, ladylike handbag adorned with cute, funny charms and trinkets. And don’t be too precious or over-styled with the process – it’s all in the mix. And literally anything goes – old key rings, ribbons, rope, hair accessories. This is not an experiment in chicness – the bag already has that covered.

ps: I must confess I couldn’t order the Jellycat croissant fast enough, after seeing it hanging from Elle Fergusan’s Miu Miu bag at the Milan show.

pps: Etsy have made things super-easy (and really affordable) if you’re not the most patient of people.

ppps: how good is this ‘Boho’ Speedy.
