Bag charms are back in a big way, and they’re converting even the most simplistic dressers to a maximalist aesthetic. From the runway to social media to street style, this undeniably fun accessory seems to have everyone in a chokehold.
On TikTok, the hashtag “birkinify” is trending, and describes the act of adorning one’s handbag — Hermès Birkin or other — with charms, keychains, twillies and beads. Dua Lipa and Lily Allen are just two famous faces spotted with decked out Birkin bags, and Gigi Hadid recently jazzed up her mini yellow Miu Miu with an assortment of charms, including her coveted Bag Ting from String Ting.
