Trendy Spotlight: How To Deck A Handbag Like Pro

29 Jul 2024

If you are tired of embracive minimalism, there is good news: a fun trend of decking your handbag with all sorts of charming goodies, just like Jane Birkin did back in the day, is making a major comeback. Ready to give your purse a makeover? Here is your guide on how to do it. 

Rule number one: there are no rules

The best part of this trend is that you can go all in and never be wrong. Everything that has a strap, clip, or any other type of binding, can be attached to the bag disregarding whether it was meant to be there or not. The limit is your imagination: this is the rare case when you shouldn’t worry about things matching each other — embrace the chaos and find beauty in it!

Express yourself

Let your bag decor tell stories and hint at your occupation, hobbies, favorite films, music, and anything meaningful to you or just be creative: add DIY elements, play with proportions, and search for unexpected combinations. 

The more the better

Forget about quiet luxury, it’s not the time to be humble. Wrap as much as you can around your handbag’s handles and leave pickpockets confused: they will be too busy deciphering your purse’s decor to even think about swiping it!

Turn things inside out

Instead of stuffing your tech cases, keyrings, and pouches inside, hang them on the outside. Not only will you finally see what’s actually in your bag without diving in, but also avoid the age-old struggle of fishing out your keys. Just be careful not to swing your handbag too vigorously, or you might knock out innocent bypasses.

Be ironic

While decorating your handbag, don’t forget to have fun. After all, nothing says "I have it all together" quite like a bag covered in keychains, plush toys, micro purses, and a disco ball.
