Bag charms, keychains and detachable straps are perfect gifts for someone to personalize their handbag.
Choose a bag accessory based on a theme, like their favorite animals, hobbies, sports and more.
Their mini sizes also make charms and keychains ideal stocking stuffers.
Even the most well-loved (and worn) bag in your closet could use a little something extra from time to time. A touch more personality or flair—whatever you want to call it, adding a bit of creative spark or uniqueness is as easy as styling your bag with some accessories. Detachable straps, charms and keychains are the on-trend way to customize your favorite bag without permanently altering it, and that makes these playful accessories a top gift pick this holiday season.
Whether gifting to a friend, to yourself, or both—here are some of our favorite little delights for personalizing a bag.
Straps
From chain-link designs to strands of pearls or heirloom-inspired motifs of sparkling crystals, you can almost think of decorative straps like jewelry for your bag. If you or a loved one wants to take a break from wearing jewelry on your arm, why not switch it up with a bag strap featuring the same look and feel of your favorite charm bracelet? Our bag straps feature a variety of gilded finishes to match the hardware of any bag, and are designed with dogleash clips at both ends that enable you to attach it to carryalls and shoulder bags alike.
Charms
There is a whole world of storytelling bag charms out there—loved ones will have as much fun wearing them to express themselves as you do picking one out. All can be attached by dogleash clip to compatible bag hardware or straps.
Sometimes interchangeable with bag charms that feature rings, our keychains are functionally iconic additions that make it easy to find your keys in the depths of your bag—or simply add some flair when attached as decoration by dogleash clip. Try our Signature Bag Charm for heritage style, or a classic Loop Bag Charm featuring a wrist strap crafted from our iconic Glovetanned Leather.
When it comes to fashion, picking out the perfect bag to give your best friend, sister or mom may feel like a daunting task—after all, bags tasked with carrying our essentials while also expressing our unique personality and style is such a personal choice. Before choosing the one, ask yourself the following questions.

If you're shopping at the last minute, the best strategy is to choose something that's immediately wearable, easy to style and feels like an upgrade.
Bag Charms & Keychains: Playful, customizable and still feels totally personal. Opt for add-ons with initials or a meaningful motif—like their favorite animal, hobby or a bag charm that simply matches their vibe.
Small Leather Goods: Don't know their personal style well enough to invest in a bag? Gift smaller. Think: essential wallets and card cases that they'll reach for every day. You can't go wrong with a gift that makes someone's life easier.
Fragrances & Candles: For more casual connections, choose a fragrant gift that is less dependent on their personal style and preferences, but will still lift their spirits every time they use it.
