What Is a Bag Charm?

A bag charm is a small accessory you attach to your handbag or backpack to give it a personal and playful touch. They come in many shapes — from tassels and keychains to miniature plush toys, chains, or charms.Bag charms are made from all kinds of materials such as leather, silver, gold, or fabric.

Where Did the Bag Charm Trend Come From?

Bag charms have their roots in the world of luxury fashion. Part of the inspiration comes from Jane Birkin, the style icon who became famous in the 1980s for her Hermès Birkin bag — designed especially for her.

Birkin often decorated her bag with hanging ribbons, trinkets, and keychains, which inspired fashion houses like Fendi, Louis Vuitton, and Hermès to develop the bag charm trend into the must-have accessory it is today — combining style, personality, and function.

In the 2000s and beyond, the trend made a massive comeback thanks to Gen Z and social media, spreading to DIY culture and street style. Today, you’ll see bag charms both on high-fashion runways and everyday handbags. Across platforms like Instagram and TikTok, millions share photos of colorful, cute, or minimalist bag charms — each one telling a story about its owner.
