8 HOT: Bag Charms
Helen Lee - March 29 2005
Charmed? Well you should be, charms can be found everywhere these days, from your originally charm bracelets and necklaces, they have branched out into bag and mobile phone charms.
Bag charms have been found on the runways of Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Marni, Versace, Christian Lacroix, Clements Ribeiro and Luella. After all that is where most trends start, on the catwalks of New York, Paris, Milan and London. Always stylish, Kate Moss was often snapped with charms dangling off her Hermes Birkin. Even the sometimes stylish (but always a fashionista) Chloe Sevigny has been snapped with some cute charms dangling off her bag. Though quietly I think the whole charms on the bag trend started when those in Asia started hanging trinkets on their mobile phones in the late 90's / early 00's.
Each designer has put their own twist on bag charms, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace have hung mini bags off their larger bags; Marni have taken gone down the wooden route with beautiful charms that add the finishing touches to their Spring bags; and Christian Lacroix has taken the trend and run with it, adding bright colours and fun shapes. Even Coach has created some beautiful lanyards for your mobile phones.
So what are you waiting for? Your bag doesn't have to look like everyone else’s, individualized it with a bag charm, a few strings of ribbon, or even an old key ring attached to the zip. It might not be designer (after all most of us can spend hundreds on a small bag charm), but it will be 100% you.
