Looks like the handbag charm trend isn’t going anywhere — and honestly, we are all for it. Charms, beads, and tassels have found a cozy spot in our hearts and on our bags. If you are still not on board, now is the perfect time to add that fun, personal touch to your outfit. Have a peek at our guide for a bit of inspiration, and check out these cute little accessories to brighten up your day (and your handbag, of course).
Origami
These intricate charms are perfect for those who love a minimalist design with an artsy edge. Crafted by folding leather into creative shapes and often inspired by animals, birds, or geometric figures, origami charms blend art with fashion, giving your handbag a bit of motion.
Nature-inspired
Nature enthusiasts, look no further than Loewe! Jonathan Anderson has a knack for celebrating the beauty of flora and fauna in the most fashionable way possible. Some peas on your purse? Yes, and make it double!
Weaved leather
Handbag charms may seem all fun and laid-back, but behind those funky designs often lies exceptional craftsmanship. Take these stunning pieces from Bottega Veneta — those mushrooms and tassels are far from simple!
Lolipop holder
The buzz around the Fendi Chupa Chups holder on social media was absolutely wild, with some users scratching their heads over its price-to-purpose ratio. But hey, you have got to store your lollipops somewhere, right? This quirky accessory may raise eyebrows, but it certainly adds a playful flair to any bag!
Cords
Surprise, surprise: shoelaces that aren’t being used for their intended purpose are now a trend! And while Miu Miu is certainly leading the charge, there are plenty of more affordable options out there — and let us not forget about the DIY route!
Key Holder
Looking for a bit of practicality? Say no more! Grab yourself a key holder, but let us make it fun — how about one shaped like a teddy bear or a fluffy ball?

All sorts of things
Can’t choose just one charm? Fashion isn’t about limiting yourself, so embrace the joyful chaos with these eclectic pieces that combine a bit of everything.
Tassels
A timeless classic in the world of bag accessories, tassels add movement, texture, and a bit of boho flair. Whether made from leather, cotton, or beads, they are versatile enough to match any style, and sometimes even to hold your apple.
Micro bags
Often mimicking iconic handbag designs in miniature form, micro bag charms are both decorative and functional so challenge yourself to see how many essentials you can squeeze into them!
