Bag charms have exploded in popularity this year. From the Miu Miu and Loewe runways to people on Instagram “Birkenifying” their mini Longchamps and TikTokkers wrapping ribbons around their Telfars and Tabby bags. Much like the charms you’d find on a piece ofjewelry, they add a personal touch — which is why they’d make such a great, personal gift (if you know the right tone to strike with your recipient). Below, I’ve scoured the internet, asked my fellow writers, and even jotted down the charms I’ve spotted in real life to compile a list to help inspire you. From bedazzled bears to miniature versions of best-sellingbags, there’s a charm sure to suit every person.
